Reddy Or Not- red orange neon creme.
This color does not exist in the digital color spectrum available, so it also does not shoot/display accurately in digital photos. The polish is a red-leaning orange sahde and its very bright and neon, just as LynB describes it.

You Had Me At Yellow- neon yellow creme that is said to watermarble.

Quoth the Raven- black one coat creme that is said to watermarble and stamp. For me, one coat wasn't enough. Two coats shown.

Plum-believable- warm toned deep plummy purple creme. Brand new to the cream collection! Although this is clearly made with a red/purple pigment, it does appear as a reddish brown to me in person under most lighting. The violet color can be seen around the edges near my skin in the macro shot.

Always Well Red- deep red creme that is said to watermarble- May stain. Such a squishy, beautiful shade of red! This did indeed leave a trace of orangey-red behind after removal.

Achieve Grapeness- blue toned purple creme that is said to watermarbles- May stain. I didn't have staining with this on that I could see or maybe it canceled out the red-orangey stain from the other one...

That’s Taupe- pinky lavender taupe creme that is said to watermarble. I really, really, REALLY like this one. I am not sure why, but if you think you'll like it get it. I guarantee you'll like it even more when it arrives. Also would work great as a blurring undie.

Stay Topaz-itive - a terra cotta creme. Brand new to the cream collection!

Grey-t Expectations- mid toned grey with purple undertones that is said to watermarble - May stain. I didn't notice any staining w/this one.

White Fang- white one coat creme that is said to watermarble and stamp. For me, one coat wasn't enough. Two coats would get to opacity for my bright photos, but I wore three coats to smooth out my paint job. And while it wasn't overly goopy or chalky, it applies like many other white polishes I've used. Still on the hunt for my HG white cream. IYKYK.

All of my swatches are shown in three thick coats with glossy topcoat unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperatue bulb and white background with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements or use of blurring/cream base, I do have a fairly prominent VNL with dividing line.

Naps and Nails: Davy Jones's Locker Rocks (GITD - Limited Edition)

Naps and Nails has a limited edition nail lacquer that will be available from Friday, April 5th - April 30th. It is a custom polish for the Facebook Group: We All Glow.

Davy Jones's Locker Rocks
Inspired by Megan Ann's winning photo in the We All Glow Facebook Group.
This neon green polish has shimmers of gold and pink with an aqua glow. (charge with a lamp, uv or blacklight)
I held my nails under my desk lamp to get the glow photos. The glow lasts quite a while too! After swatching this I watched TV for a bit and went to bed. This polish was still glowing! And it startled me because I forgot I had gitd polish on! After several hours in a pitch dark room, I woke up and it was still glowing! The more adjusted your eyes are to the dark, the brighter the glow.

LynB Designs: Let Life Bloom

Christina, a member of the nail community, has rallied the makers to launch charity polishes all during the same time frame. The polish sales will benefit relevant charities that each maker chooses.

Christina's goal is to raise awareness of the importance of donating tissue, bone marrow, eyes, blood, etc., registering yourself to do it, and helping us all familiarize with multiple charities of which the makers will donate funds to. Christina created a facebook group where we can all gather to hear her tell her story, share a variety of charities the makers are supporting, and raise awareness in our nail community.

On April 12, LynB Designs is releasing a polish to benefit a charity that is near and dear to many of our community members. All proceeds for this polish will be given to Donate Life.

Let Life Bloom- a sheer blue base with pink to red shifting shimmer, holo flakies, and pink to green shifting flakies. This polish is jam packed with flake, as you can see in just two coats it just about covers my prominent nail line.

It's a beautiful polish for a good cause, pick one up at https://lynbdesigns.store!

You can join the facebook group for the collab to see additional beautiful polishes by different artisans who are also donating to a charity of their choice.
