From the NerdLacquer (note: the shop has reopened and is stocked) listing for “It’s Just a Flesh Wound”:

[A] fierce black base with small and medium black, red, and copper hexagonal glitter, plus black and charcoal microglitter and big silver hex glitter. This color always triumphs, and will still look fearsome even if a passing king lops one of your arms off. Looks amazing as a top coat over black or red. Also might challenge the other polishes in your collection to a duel; best to store it separately.

Though my favorite for the name, is my least favorite in everyday use when used on it’s own.  I have yet to use it as a top coat over any of my more mundane polishes or over “Warrior Ethos” which I will be doing in the future.

Now, I should have realized when reading the catalogue description that I probably would only be using it for any Vampire RP-ing—my vampire persona is fond of the stereotypical black, red, and gunmetal—but as a huge Monty Python and the Holy Grail fan, I had to have it.  I ignored the description in favor of the photos, and had high expectations that this could become an everyday polish.

Sadly, I should have listened to myself better.  I think it’s beautifully made, glittery in a wonderful way, and I absolutely recommend it to people who like black polishes for casual wear.  For me… while I’m still pleased with it and will be wearing it at Comic Con with my Vampire outfit, it’s out as an everyday polish.  We’ll see if that opinion changes in the future when used as a top coat.
