Tynie Lacquer

Press Sample

Tynie Co is a new nail polish brand that I was asked to swatch for. They carry both full and mini sizes so they sent one of each to me to try out.

Suit and Jacket
a charcoal shade with purple undertones that comes in both a cream version and a cream/holo mix. It is available in a full size bottle (10ml) or as a mini (5ml).






Volcano Girls
a dark coral shade that comes in both a cream version and a cream/holo mix. It is available in a full size bottle (10ml) or as a mini (5ml).




The cream polishes are both very pigmented, opaque in one coat. The formula is smooth and easy to apply. Shown in two coats with topcoat. The 10ml polish is packaged in a square bottle with gold cap and foil label. The mini sized polish, though shown here with a black cap, will have a gold cap and the same bottle with foil label.

You can check out a variety of colors and finishes at Tynie Co's website.

Atomic Polish: Base and Top Coats

Press Sample

Atomic Polish sent her two top coats and her sticky base for me to try out! I got good results with each of them. Read on to see what I thought.



GTC - Scented Glossy Top Coat
Choose your own scent from a variety of fragrances! It dries in a couple of minutes and creates a nice hard seal. It has a thin consistency and is said that it can be used as a nail polish thinner without changing the pigment of the polish. 5 Free.

My sample was lemon scented, so yummy! This dries quite fast, I was surprised this wasn't labeled as a quick dry. Nice and glossy, seals well and is fairly thin as she describes on her site.




BC - Sticky Base Coat
a green beauty! Use as a base coat to create a secure polish bond to the nail while still being flexible enough to avoid chipping and peeling.
The Base is 4-Free.

I tested this out for a few weeks with a few different brands of polish and had good results. My polish didn't chip for 7-10 days on both experiments.




QD - Quick Dry Top Coat
Dries in roughly 30 seconds and forms a full seal in 3 minutes. It is non yellowing and chip resistant, dries completely clear with no purple hue. 5 Free.

This should be called blazing fast, and the glossy one should be called fast. :) Yes, it is quick!
