Victorian Varnish: Tincture Duo

Steamy Sunshine - Wild verbena and sweet candied rose create a fresh, floral opening, while vibrant rainforest fruit and yellow hibiscus add a burst of tropical sweetness. The warmth of sunlit amber brings depth, and tropical palm completes the fragrance with a lush, sun-soaked finish, capturing the essence of a vibrant, tropical paradise.




All of my swatches are shown in two thick coats with topcoat and had no formula issues unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb and white background with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.

Little Box of Horrors: June 2025

PR Sample

The following products and more will be available June 22-30 at the Little Box of Horrors (LBH) website. LBH is a monthly shop that is open at 2pm central time on the 22nd every month. Shipping starts on the 15th of the following month and they will combine multiple orders. Their themes are based around Halloween, mystery, horror, sci-fi, and supernatural occurrences. They also have a facebook fan group where you can keep up with all the details of each launch.




LynB Designs: Unfortunate - deep plum base with pink to green shifting shimmer in a crackle finish. Shown over a blue shimmery polish.




Victorian Varnish: A Dreadful Bond - A navy jelly with purple/pink shimmer and a host of ghost flakies and UCC flakies with scattered holo flakies. Cap 150. Inspired by Davy Jones.




Victorian Varnish: Why Is The Run Gone? - A red base with red/orange/bronze/gold shimmer loaded with ghost flakies. Cap 150. Inspired by Jack Sparrow.




Victorian Varnish: Seas The Day Lavish - Ripe peach and blood orange burst forward laced with the warm spice of cardamom. A hint of heliotrope adds a powdery sweetness before melting into a heart of dark rum and aged cognac, rich and intoxicating. As it deepens, davana and jasmine create a finish that's bold, sultry and decadently boozy.
For me, it was a smooth and sort of peppery scent. I didn't get much fruit or floral which tells me it is well-blended with none of the notes taking over the fragrance.




Victorian Varnish: Seas The Day Cuticle Oil - (same scent as the Lavish). The compenent it is packaged in is so neat! It's the first one I've had like this. Fun to hold and look at. The sponge-tipped doe foot wand makes for easy and precise placement of the cuticle oil. After you've used it all, I think it could be refilled fairly easily.
