LynB Designs: Mind Palace

*Disclaimer: some items in this blog post have been previously received for review.

Hello everyone!

I'm sharing another one of my LynB Designs polishes with you today from my mega haul - you already saw the gorgeous Galaxy We Call the Milky Way here. But today's post is all about the equally stunning Mind Palace!

This polish has been on my wishlist for SO long but I didn't get it until now because I was always afraid that it would be tricky to apply - I'm so happy to tell you that it only requires a little bit of effort and that it just looks spectacular on my nails!

Floral Print Nails (to match my dress)

Hi everyone!

I'm really happy about this floral design I did :)
I got a fancy black dress with yellow flowers at the top, and I wanted to match my nails to it :)


At first I wanted to do two accent nails with flowers on each hand, but I had spent a lot of time on the first two nail of each hand that I just didn't have the courage anymore to do it. But now I got the trick to making these flowers, so next time it will definitely go a lot quicker!

As you can see, I kept the rest of my nails very sober with black polish which I mattified. The bottom part of my dress is also black, so that matched as well. I made the flowers by creating swirl shapes (or half circle shapes) with yellow and brown polish.

I'm really happy with how this turned out :) I now know how to make these flowers, so next time I'll be able to do it quicker (hopefully)

Thanks for reading!

Crayon Colours

I'm really proud of today's mani, because I used some materials that were new to me, and I think the result looks very cool: it doesn't look like I painted my nails with nail polish, but with normal paint, or even just wildly coloured on them with crayons. 

To create this look, I used a small paint brush with pig's hair (like this one, for example).
The nail polishes I used are:
D'Orleac - Mate 01 (this polish doesn't have a name)
Catrice - 400 Blue Cara Ciao
Opi - Ate Berries In the Canaries
Gosh - 600 Matt Effect Top Coat

First I put a base coat on my nails, and then I painted them white. 
After that, I started with the purple: I took the paint brush and put some purple polish on it. Then I sort of cleaned off the brush on a piece of paper, so that there wasn't a massive amount of polish on it. Then I just painted a small part of my nails with this purple polish. I then did the same with the blue and orange, and quickly after that I put on a top coat, so the still wet polish would mix a little and the lines between the colours wouldn't be as hard.

After that, I wanted the colours to pop out more, so I just repeated everything above (except for putting the white polish on of course). Then I put a matte coat on to make it look more like paint, and that's it!

I really like how this doesn't look like nail polish, but more like paint on my nails. It's supposed to be a bit messy, so that's also quite handy :)

I realised that my blue polish was almost the exact same colour as the sweater I was wearing, so of course I made a picture of that as well :)

I hope you like it, and thanks for reading :)

Half Moon Mani

This is a design I did a while ago. It was the first time I tried to do half moons, I think they turned out quite nice if you keep that in mind :)

For the half moons, I just tried my best to make a round shape on my nails, and bit by bit I made the shape larger. I did another half moon mani a few weeks ago, and for that design I just based my half moons on the natural half moons of my nails, which was a lot easier!
