LynB Designs: Vintage Fragrance Collection

LynB Designs Vintage Fragrance Collection launches Nov 8. You can get half off through Nov 12 with code SCENT. I giggled a bit when I saw the name of the collection because she is also launching perfumes this month! If you're interested in those, check back here for the review coming soon!

Can’t Figuier You Out- a plummy brown base filled with blue to violet shifting shimmer. One of my favorites, I think. That purple shimmer gets me every time!

Eau De Humanity- buildable turquoise base with loads of blue to violet shifting flakies and holo flakies. Ya'll. This finish is so pretty and sparkly and my gosh those flakes! They trick my my eyes into thinking they're floating above the nail. It is so wild. My favorite of the bunch, if you can only get one, get this one. Photos do not do it justice.

Good Scents of Humor- buildable celadon green base with aqua to blue to indigo shifting shimmer. I was a bit concerned that this one would not look good on me, but I was wrong. It is a pretty shimmery shifter of a polish. It has decent coverage which also suprised me. If you like minty greens, this is definitely one to consider.

How Oud- light terracotta base with red to orange shifting shimmer. This polish reminds me of a very sought after mainstream polish shade. Indies were trying to dupe it but couldn't because shifting shimmer just wasn't much of a thing that many years ago. The shimmer was difficult for my camera to pick up, but it is definitely present. What a classy look for an elegant mani!

If You Musk- dark blue base with copper to gold shifting shimmer. The shimmer in this one is just like in a previous polish I reviewed called Bombilate which has a much lighter blue base. If you enjoyed that one, you may like this one too!

Not for the Faint of Heart…Notes- black to pale pink thermal loaded with pink to green shifting micro flakie shimmer and holo flakies. May stain. Reminds me a bit of the throwback, only it's more pink and the "black" appears to me as a much darker brown. With a generous flakie load it seems to be a bit more shifty than the throwback. Definitely different enough to have both!

Run On Scent-ence- warm brown base with intense pink to orange to gold shifting shimmer. A delicately sheer finish with a lot of shift is what this one is giving. I enjoyed wearing it.

Stop and Smell the Roses- peachy pink base with pink to orange to gold shifting micro flakies and chunky holo. A little bit similar to Eau de Humanity, but in a pink colorway.

You’re a Scentsation- plummy base with silver magnetic pull and pink to orange shifting shimmer. First two nails are velvet style, last two are zig-zag. It looks great both ways!

LynB Designs: Throwback and Crackle of the Month (Nov)

LynB Designs Throwback and Crackle polishes of the month are launching Nov 8th at https://lynbdesigns.store/

xoxoJen's swatch of LynB Designs Throwback and Crackle of the Month (Nov)


Tits Up- grey to lavender thermal base with copper shimmer and added holo flakies. The lavender appears more of a purple touched pink shade to me and the coppery shimmer makes the grey look brown and I'm here for it!

Eat, Drink, and Be Cranberry- a cranberry red base with intense holo effect. First two nails shown with glossy topcoat and last two with no topcoat. While the holo is apparent in this shade, I think that it is a bit more subtle than a typical linear holo because it is cracked apart. The pigment load in this renders the polish a bit thicker than a typical polish, but it was still easy to work with. Underneath is KBShimmer's Nov PPU shade for some gitd crackle fun. Crackles are not included in the half off sale.

KBShimmer: Reach for the Stars
As kids, many toys and games caught our eye. Whether it was the latest dating board game, a cool pony with magical hair, or an oven to bake our own treats, these items filled our holiday wish lists. Some of us wanted cool room décor: a colorful see-through phone, a mini-TV of our own, or glow-in-the-dark stars to light up our ceiling.

Reach For The Stars nail polish is inspired by glow-in-the-dark stars that transformed our childhood ceilings into glowing planetariums. Pale yellow-green in color, a golden shimmer accents this glowing shade. Like the glowing stars, this polish shows a familiar green glow-in-the-dark effect, which fades over time into a pale mint glow.

KBShimmer Banana Coconut Scrub
Stickers were one of the best things about being a kid in the '80s and '90s. Collecting stickers with rainbow animals, holographic flair, or even stickers based on dolls with a trashy twist was a favorite pastime. But the best stickers were the scratch-n-sniff ones. The scents of grape soda, bubble gum, pizza, and banana could be found on many a notebook or book cover.

Banana Coconut Hand & Body Scrub is a strong mix of rich, creamy banana accented by sweet, smooth coconut. Adding depth to this fruity mix are notes of mango, strawberries, grapefruit, and kiwi. A hint of cotton candy and bubble gum adds a touch of sweetness to this tropical-scented scrub. Bright swirls of yellow against the creamy base add to the tropical feel, bringing a bit of fun to any shower or sink.
