LynB Designs - You Go Gill
Inspired by the vibrant Annularis Angelfish, You Go Gill dives deep with a rusty red base, glowing blue-to-purple shifting shimmer, and a splash of holo sparkle — like sunlight flickering through tropical waters.
Part of LynB’s Virtual Aquarium theme, this polish is limited to 150 bottles.
Victorian Varnish - Celestial Clockwork
Turn time on its head with Celestial Clockwork — a magnetic multichrome that shifts from pink to peach to gold to bronze like the final flickers of a summer sunset. When magnetized, it reveals a moody deep base, lit with blue-to-purple holo and aurora flakies that sparkle like gears in a cosmic machine.
Part of the Steampunk Unicorns collection, this twilight-inspired polish is limited to just 300 bottles.
Victorian Varnish - Lavish Hand and Cuticle Cream — Geared for Sweets!
Imagine wrapping your hands in a deliciously dreamy blend of strawberry, raspberry, and pineapple, all topped with sweet spun sugar and a touch of vanilla for warmth. A subtle hint of musk adds just the right amount of mystery to this sweet, steampunk unicorn-inspired cream.
Perfect for keeping your cuticles soft and your senses delighted, this cream is a little luxury you won’t want to miss. Capped at only 50 bottles.
Victorian Varnish - Tincture Acetone Additive Duo — Double the Delight!
Get ready to elevate your nail routine with this dynamic duo designed to pamper your cuticles while you remove or clean up your manis.
Geared for Sweets treats you to a mouthwatering blend of strawberry, raspberry, and pineapple, sprinkled with sugar cane and spun sugar, all resting on a cozy vanilla and musk base—think candy shop vibes in a bottle!
Serene Dreams is a breath of fresh air with its crisp citrine leaves and apple aura, softened by airy fluorescent clouds. Floral jasmine and orchid notes dance alongside tropical pineapple sweetness, all warmed up by a surprising touch of resinous amber. It’s like sunshine and mystery rolled into one.
Each handy two-pack set is perfect for mixing up your mani magic or sharing the goodness with a friend! Capped at 20 sets.
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 with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.
