LynB Designs: Teal The Cows Come Home

*Product Swapped For

Hey guys!

I am back today to share with you guys another lovely blue polish. This is another one of those lovelies that I swapped for, and I am really glad that I did.

This one is from a brand I have heard of for a while, but just never was able to get my hands on any: LynB Designs. 

The color that I have up to show you guys is called Teal the Cows Come Home. This is a bright teal with scattered holo. It is very rich so I only needed two coats. Application was great on this.

I love colors like this. I am not typically a holo person, but I love how this one is scattered and subtle. It is so pretty and recommend this one to everyone. Sadly it is not in their store, https://www.etsy.com/shop/LynBDesigns, anymore, but maybe you can find one in a swap like I did or purchase off another polish fanatic.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Lilypad Lacquer All I Sea

*Product Swapped For

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you guys a great polish I received in a swap I recently did.

This polish doesn't photograph the best, it looks way more fabulous in person, so just trust me on this one guys!

Here is Lilypad Lacquer's All I Sea. In person, this is a teal/turquoise chunky metallic polish. I did three coats by itself. Application is great. Layers go on sheer so you definitely need to do three layers to build up nice coverage.

Lilypad Lacquer is a brand made in Australia. For that reason, their products are a bit pricey, but I think worth it. They can be purchased on their website, lilypadlacquer.com for $15 each.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Sally Hansen Compelete Salon Manicure; Shades of Blue

*Product Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today with some lovely polishes from Sally Hansen to show you guys.

I have a couple lovely blues that I recently picked up at Walgreens. They have been marking down some makeup here and there and these two were some of the polishes I spotted that were on sale. I picked both of these guys up for $1.99 each. These come from their Complete Salon Manicure line, which we all know can cost upwards of $8, so this is quite a steal!

Let's get to the polishes!

The first one that I have up to show you is called Jungle Gem. This one is a greenish-blue teal cream. I did one coat by itself. These polishes are always so rich that you don't really need more than one or two coats. Application was great. I am not a huge fan of this color, but it is pretty and different than others I have seen.

The second one I have up to show you is called Mermaid's Tale. I have been wanting this polish for quite a while so I am very excited to have this. It is a sheer blue jelly with large silver glitters and small blue glitters. I did two coats over Jungle Gem. Application was great! I love this combo, a ittle bit of the teal from Jungle Gem shines through the chunky glitters.

Check out your local Walgreens, you might be lucky like I have and pick up some Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure for $1.99 or even less. But hurry, because in my store the selection was getting low.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Hard Candy Christmas Gift Set

*Products Purchased By My Mom

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you some nail polishes I got recently.

My mom picked up a couple of Hard Candy gift sets from Walmart that they marked on sale, since Christmas is over. She picked one up with lip gloss, eye shadow, and glitter eye liner. The one I have to show you today is one with nail polish and lip gloss.

I have the nail polish portion of this set for you guys to check out.

The first one I have to show you has no name. Both of these polishes came with no name. It is a sparkly dark pink, almost red polish. I did three coats by itself. I lost a nail at work recently so unless I forgo nail polish pics for like a few weeks, it will look like this until it grows back out.

Application was great. This is such a pretty color.

The second one I have to show you all is a super shimmery sheer baby pink. It almost appears like it has flakies in it, which it doesn't. I did three coats by itself. Application was great.

You can't get these polishes and colors outside of the Christmas gift set my mom picked up, but maybe you can find these online. So far, I checked Amazon and I found nothing, but maybe your Walmart might have one of this kits hanging around.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Polishes I've Made Myself

*Product Kit Received for Christmas and Polish Made By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today with some different polishes that I have to show you. These polishes are neither bought by me, received to review, nor did they come from a store or online. They are not mainstream, salon, high end, or indie.

Well, maybe you could call them indie because they are hand made, but that is about it.

My favorite polish swapping buddy and I swapped gifts for Christmas. I sent her a box of stuff she liked and she sent me one. In the box I got from her, she sent me a polish making kit. I was so excited about making my own polish. She send lots of glitters and two full size bottles with base and two mini bottles with base.

I was so excited to start creating my own polishes, I made all four using all of the glitters she sent me on Christmas day. It will be up to you guys to let me know if any of these were a success and if any of these were a fail.

Here is a preview!

The first one that I have up for you guys I have named 80's New Wave. This is a neon pink jelly filled with mini blue glitter and medium sized clear holo square glitter. I did three coats by itself. Application was great. I love this color I made, it is so pretty and poppy and reminds me of Cyndi Lauper.

The next one I like to call Icy Gold Disco Ball. This is a icy blue jelly filled with gold micro glitter and copper small glitters that had a little bit of black glitter mixed in. I did three coats by itself. the blue glitter didn't mix up the best so I needed to kinda spread it on, but other than that it was good. I really love the combo of colors I made here, reminds me of winter.

Next up, this one is called Glitter Queen. This is a combo of a ton of different glitters. I used dark pink glitter for the base, black, purple, pink and white large glitters, red large glitters, and purple mini glitters Application was great, but with all glitter polishes, a little messy and glitter was left around my fingers. I did three coats.

The last one up that I have to show you guys that I created is called Lucky Leprechaun. This one is a bright green polish filled with small silver glitter and medium green glitter. I did three coats by itself. Application was great. I think this is such a neat color. The combo of the green base glitter and the silver base glitter didn't mix super well, but goes on the nails well.

It was so much fun playing with this kit my friend sent me. I loved creating the polishes and I think I didn't so that bad. Maybe the glitter bomb one wasn't the best idea, but it was still fun to make none-the-less. Let me know which ones you guys like and which you think are fails.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Pure Ice Poppin Bottles

*Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today with a lovely polish that fits perfectly with the holiday season and winter and snow.

I have up to show you guys a lovely polish from Pure Ice. This one is called Poppin Bottles. It is an icy sheer polish filled with micro, small, and large silver glitter. I did three coats by itself. It is meant to actually be a topcoat but I enjoy the look of topcoats by themselves.

Application on this was great, hardly any need for cleanup. This is such a festive polish. It reminds me of holiday ornaments and New Year's Eve fireworks and celebrating.

Among other stores, I know you can find Pure Ice at Walmart. I picked this one up for around $2.15, which is a steal!

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Swap Board - 20 more added!

Hey guys!

I am back today to remind you about all of the polishes I have up on my Pinterest swap board.

I recently just added 20 more polishes to my board, so now I have 146 polishes up for swap.

I would love to get them into new homes and out of mine. I am willing to trade multiple polishes for higher end ones or indies, and I love polishes that come from specialty stores like dollar stores or Five Below or others.

So if you are interested in a polish swap, here is my board once again: https://www.pinterest.com/vshaw320/polishes-for-swap/

Thanks you guys and hope you find something you like. In the next few days I will be back with a post of my lovely nails for you guys! Bye!
