Polish TBH: Fantasy

&

Linda's Nail Vinyls

Hello on this very cold, but sunny day! If you're where it is warm, then lucky you! Ha ha :D Today I am reviewing a new indie polish I purchased not long ago; Polish TBH: Fantasy and a new way of doing nail designs...without all the hard work and hassle; Linda's Nail Vinyls.

Fantasy is a gorgeous pink; almost purple shade. It's packed with gunmetal/greyish blue glitter in different sizes and tiny shimmer. Below shows a photo of the bottle and a close up of the polish itself.

Below is a photo of my nail vinyls I had purchased from Linda. From Left to right I have chevron (regular size) pack of 100 for $3.00, french manicure pack of 100 for $3.00, and striped (straights) nail vinyls pack of 200 for $4.00 and always FREE shipping.
For my manicure today I used the chevron nail vinyls.

Below shows my manicure. I used two coats of Polish TBH: Fantasy on my pointer and pinky fingers and topped them off with Glisten & Glow's HK Girl Top Coat. For my accent nails I used two coats of OPI Passion nail polish and Polish TBH: Fantasy. (See pictorial photo below for complete directions on how to get the chevron look.)

Below is a simple pictorial showing how to apply the nail vinyl and polish. First, I applied a base coat and let it sit till it is completely dried. Next, I applied two coats OPI Passion nail polish and let that sit till completely dried. After that, I applied the chevron nail vinyls and applied two coats of Polish TBH: Fantasy. I then immediately removed the nail vinyls carefully with a tweezer while polish is still wet and then let it sit till completely dried. Lastly, I applied Glisten & Glow's HK Girl Top Coat.

You may get as creative as you desire with these nail vinyls. They are very easy to apply and remove. Linda made sure they were easy to use before opening her shop and selling them. She too had trouble with creating certain designs and getting them to look perfect hence, why she came up with Nail Vinyls. So check them out for yourself! Websites to these products mentioned are below. Happy shopping and Happy Holidays! :)

Star Dust Polish: Simply Mad &

Serum No. 5: Pink Lantern & Day Glow

Hello my fellow viewers! Today I am reviewing several indie polishes. I have here Simply Mad by Star Dust Polish, Day Glow and Pink Lantern by Serum No. 5.

Simply Mad is from Star Dust's Alice in Wonderland Collection. It is a lovely bright pink based polish that is also a thermal. It changes from pink when cold to clear when warm. It also has many beautiful light pink, purple, and silver glitters in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Below is my manicure showing on the left side, Simply Mad when cold and on the right, when warm. I had layered my polish by using Serum No. 5's Pink Lantern then, I had layered Simply Mad over it. For my accent nail I used Day Glow and topped it off with April Showers, both also by Serum No. 5. Pink Lantern and Day Glow are glow in the dark polishes. Pink Lantern glows to an orange color and Day Glow glows to a green color. For a top coat I used Glisten & Glow's HK Girl Top Coat! It's my #1 go to for top coats!

Below is another swatch I had done with Simply Mad using Ethereal Lacquer's Neon Nectar, and Sinful Colors Cotton Candy as undies prior to painting with Simply Mad.

Victoria Dao; Founder and Creator of Serum No. 5 is a genius! The glow in the dark polishes also glow in shaded areas too! Below shows on the left photo my mani in bright daylight and on the right, it shows it starting to glow when the sun started to go down.

The glow pigments Victoria uses are awesome! Even the polish in the bottle start to glow if charged enough in the sun or light.

Below Shows my mani glowing in pure darkness. I charged it under my lamp and turned off my lights in my room and BAM! It glows so bright, I can light my way around! I never had a glow polish glow this bright, and I love it!
