Set fire to the rain by LynBDesigns over Zoya "Arizona"


Hello my fellow polish loving souls,
How are you all doing? All is well I hope. Are you ready to see a pretty that will just make your polish loving soul happy?? Because I got something that I believe just may do that. I mean, it did it for me!!! I believe I have told you all (ha..."all" as in a have so many followers, right?!?!?! Not being conceited at all...just my way of writing, k? I appreciate my few fellow, loyal viewers...lol...:) before that I am obsessed with polishes that have creme bases with glitter in them....know what I mean??? Well let me show you some examples...THIS is a great example, as is this one and this one and especially this one!..So, now that you know what I am talking about, what I love...I have another one to show you guys today:) This one is from another indie brand by the name of LynBDesigns and the polish is "Set fire to the rain". Now, most of these polishes work great on their own, and that is how I usually always wear them but I learned, by doing it with one of them, that if you use a base coat that is the same or close to the base creme, you end up using a lot less polish and avoid having to deal with a messy mani from it being thick from having too many coats. So, since this has a base of orange, the closest I found in my stash to it was Zoya "Arizona", which was an orange I had seen, fell in love with and wanted forever. I finally got it and had yet tried it so this was the perfect opportunity. Anyhow, here I go again...just babbling on..lets get to the pictures, right?? But first, as always, a bit about the polishes....

Zoya: "Arizona" : a warm, medium orange with a creme finish. Not the exact same as the orange in the polish I used with it, but very close but by no means a neon color.. . I was using it as a base, so, was opaque in two thin coats, but if I had been wearing it alone, I would have most likely used three, generous coats.
LyBDesigns: "Set fire to the rain": OMG! How can I describe this to express it's true beauty....?!?! It's a gorgeous, neon-ish orange  creme with orange/red strips and hexes. LynBDesings describes it as "A neon light orange filled with red orange strips and small hexes. It screams fire to me. With all neons there's potential for staining, so please use a base coat."

So the pictures you are about to see are two very thin coats of ZOYA "Arizona" with two coats of "Set fire to the rain" topped of with a heavy coat of seche vite.

HEHEHE!! Enough talk right? Anxious to see pics?!?!?! OK...OK....Here we go....

                                                                      Outdoors

I MEAN!!! COME ON!! Just look at this...How can you not like it? Really?! I mean, even myself, I am not a huge orange lover, most people, it seems aren't but this is just....umm...just gorgeous!! The orange is perfect, the hexes are the perfect complimentary color...everything just goes together perfectly!


If you know what a "jelly sammich" mani is well you can see, especially in this picture why i describe this as a "jelly sammich" in a bottle...


I just love the look of this!!!!

HEHEHEHE! Even the bottle is so pretty!



In the shade
Even without sun, you still have a vibrant, colorful mani!




So. there it is! Gorgeous, no? NO! NOT my swatches, but the polish itself. I absolutely love this polish! I must say, sometimes when working with cremes that have a glitter base, they are hard. They get thick very easily and the end result just looks awful but this polish was the absolute opposite. It went on nice and thin and...you can see how it kind of looks like a "jelly sammich" in a bottle! Anyhow, I am in love. I have another LynBDesign that I have not yet tried. It's called "Boardwalk empire" and after using this one, I am even more excited to try that one out and did I mention, it's BLUE!! HAHAHAH!
Anyhow, I loved the look of this and look forward to trying my other one out and getting more. You can check out her shop on etsy here.  But beware, this polish is just the tip of the iceberg...there are so many pretties in her shop, it should not be allowed!! lol....MY wishlist is just growing!!! Anyhow  hope you guys enjoyed this post and can't wait to share with you guys my other one. I have been busy lately and my posts have been sporadic, to say the least. I just started a new job so been busy but no worries (in case any are...lol) I have still been doing my nails and always take pics of my mani. So, I have A TON of pics to go through that will end up being posts....
But, anyhow, back to this post, what do you guys think of this polish? Do you share your love of "Cremes with glitter" polishes with me? Do you own any LynBDesigns? If so, which ones? If not, which would you love to try? If it's anything like my list, it's a long one!!! 
Well, hope you guys enjoyed my post and will be back with more shortly. As always, I love to hear from all of you, so comment away:) 

Till next time............... xxx

                                                                   

*All polishes in this post were purchased by me and are my own , honest opinion. This polish was not given to me for a review.

More Guest Blogger Fun

Hi little nailtastic fans!

My name is Briana and when Krystal asked me if I was willing to do a blog guest spot while her camera was out of action I jumped at the chance to help her out. Shes such a sweetie pie.
Ive been blogging over at For The Love Of Lacquer for a while and this is my first ever blog guest spot.

Today I decided to review one of my untrieds from LynBDesign. I recently got a set of 3 from her and this is the last one Ive got left to try out.

Time and Relative Dimension In Space is from her Dr Who collection, Im not a fan of Dr Who (never watched it sorry Who fans) but I am a fan of gorgeous sparkly blue polishes so this one was a no brainer for me.

I have to say out of the three I got this is probably the problem child of the group. I didn't realise when I got it that its a jelly, I don't mind jellys but I don't go out of my way to buy or use them so I don't have a lot of practise in using them and I think a jelly is something you need to practise to perfect the art of applying them well.

Time and Relative Dimension In Space is a deep dark blue with blue and silver small glitter throughout, as a jelly it is rather sheer, but the glitter is choc packed, you get a really good even coverage of glitter without having to work for it and I love that.



This was one coat of Time and Relative Dimension In Space, if I had of been able to get an even layer I would have loved to leave it like this with a white or nude background 

This is Time and Relative Dimension In Space with three coats, two probably would worked fine, but I wanted the extra depth of three. 



This was a bit of a nightmare with application, it might be because I'm just not use to jellys, they are thin and runny but thick at the same time and I don't use them often enough to be able to apply them with ease so maybe with practise or someone more skilled than I it would result in a better smoother application. Also the other LynBDesigns Ive tried don't have any application issues, her Passing Go is a dream and Sassy Snow Pants gives great glitter coverage.

Ive also noticed some shrinkage around the tips but I am blaming this on the new express dry drops I am trialing

LynBDesigns can be found on esty at http://www.etsy.com/shop/LynBDesigns and if you rush over right now she has a great buy 2 get 1 free sale! 
If your looking for more reviews of her polishes you can check out my swatches of Passing Go and Sassy Snow Pants on my blog www.briesvernis.blogspot.com 

Hope you enjoyed my little guest blog and Im sure Krystals camera will be back in action shortly!
Thanks :)
