Hello, everyone! We've had a lovely cool shift in weather and it's starting to really feel like fall in Chicago. I know I should be worried that it means winter is just around the corner, but I love autumn so much I just can't care at the moment :)
On to the polish! I promised earlier in the week that I'd have the second half of LynBDesigns The Fault in Our Stars collection to share with you and here they are! (If you'd like a refresher over the first 3 gorgeous shades in this collection, you can see my swatches here.)
An olive-toned antique gold with a hint of pink shimmer, Tasting the Stars kind of snuck up on me. I wasn't expecting to love it so much just looking at it in the bottle, but once I got it on my nails I didn't want to take it off! I won't lie; this color is probably not for everyone but to me, it's a gorgeous, sophisticated color (and perfect for fall as well!).
Tasting the Stars was easy to apply and is opaque on its own in 2-3 coats (I'm showing 3 coats with 1 coat of Seche Vite here). Jenna (LynBDesigns creator) mentioned that this would also look great over black, and I'm pretty sure she's right. I'll definitely be giving it a try! No application issues here, just a smooth easy finish.
If you're a sucker for fall colors, be sure to snag Tasting the Stars for your stash. You won't regret it (I hear crunchy leaves in my head every time I look at it)!
Wish Granting Factory is up next. In the bottle, this polish looked bronze-y orange but, once I applied it, I discovered a lovely plummy jelly brimming with holographic flash and golden shimmer.
Opaque in 2-3 coats (I'm wearing 3 with 1 coat of Seche Vite), Wish Granting Factory has a smooth, easy to apply formula. I wore this polish for about 3 days with little to no tip wear, so durability isn't an issue.
Wish Granting Factory is another shade that will be perfect for fall, the wine-hued base practically screams autumn. It's another favorite of mine from this set (I seem to have a lot of those)!
Ok, I'm going to gush a bit. Our Little Infinity is by far and away my absolute favorite in this collection and is definitely in my Top 5 favorites of all time. Not only is it purple, it's a shifter with holographic glitter...it's like Jenna reached into my brain and made this one just for me! A royal blue to rich plum multichrome with flashes of gold and pink, Our Little Infinity is nothing short of spectacular. It's like a purple disco ball when the sunlight hits it and the shift in lower light is a vision. Our Little Infinity seems to glow and its distractability factor is off the charts! I'm thankful I don't drive when I wear this one...I can barely tear my eyes away from it!
*sigh*...I mean, just LOOK. AT. IT! In addition to her spellbinding good looks, Our Little Infinity has a beautifully smooth formula, though you might need an extra coat for full opacity. I'm showing 4 thin coats with a coat of Seche Vite in these photos. I wore this for 3 days on 2 separate occasions and had almost no visible wear. It's the perfect polish, I swear!
I did my best to capture the gorgeousness of Our Little Infinity, I hope you'll realize how special this one is because if you love purple and sparkly and shifty...you NEED this polish!
The Fault in Our Stars collection will be available on the LynBDesigns Etsy site on Friday, Sept. 19. Tasting the Stars and Wish Granting Factory will each retail for $8 for a full size bottle with Our Little Infinity at $12. I highly recommend following LynBDesigns on Facebook to keep updated on new releases, sales, and giveaways. Jenna recently started a fan group on Facebook as well called LynB Loves. Joining it will gain you access to sneak peeks and other great perks (like pre-order discounts!), so you might want to consider that, too.
I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks so much for reading!
All 3 of these are gorgeous! I'm putting them all on my wishlist.
