LynB Designs: What is Occurring?...Justice - deep muted indigo base with purple to red shifting shimmer and silver magnetic pull. I wore this one to the office and several people complimented it. She's stunning done up in the velvet style, especially.

Victorian Varnish: Steampunk Sparkle (Reflective) - A cyan base with large particle blue/aqua shifting shimmers and a host of ghost flakies in pink/blue/purple/peach/gold, and green and pink reflective glitters.
Inspo: at first glance seems dainty but this Unicorn is loaded with some fierce sparkle.
300 CAP

Victorian Varnish: Unicorn Fantasy Lavish Hand and Cuticle Cream
A fabulous blend of ripe juicy fruits such as plum, strawberry, raspberry and grapefruit sweetened by subtle undertones of french vanilla, hints of cocoa, melted butter, whipped cream and fresh baked goodness!
CAP 50
For me, this is reminiscent of rainbow snow cones from my childhood. It totally has that fruity, but something extra vibe. One pump is plenty to moisturize hands and nails, I used two pumps in the photo.

Victorian Varnish: Duo of Tincture Acetone Additive
Unicorn Fantasy: A fabulous blend of ripe juicy fruits such as plum, strawberry, raspberry and grapefruit sweetened by subtle undertones of french vanilla, hints of cocoa, melted butter, whipped cream and fresh baked goodness! (same as the Lavish)
Magical Fantasy: A sexy yet naughty blend of lily of the valley, sugared strawberries, pink grapefruit and white sandalwood.
Each bottle has a reducer included, so you can get a drop at a time or remove it and pour in. This is the grown up, sophisticated sister of Unicorn Fantasy. Use alone or blend for the best of both!
Comes in a 2 pack / Each 15ml bottles
30 Hard Cap

The tincture can also be added to unscented oil or lotion if you want to scent your own with it! The poly 80 allows the water to emulisify into the oil/lotion and you'll get the added bonus of glycerin! I added four drops to about 8ml of jojoba oil and it feels great on my skin, is not sticky, and so far is staying mixed well in the bottle. Even if it separates over time, all I'll need to do is shake it up!

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.
