Cuticula

Blue Raspberry Lemonade is a perfect blend of sweet tangy blue raspberry and sugary sweet lemonade.

Inspiration:
Lemonade
$16.00 - This is being sold as a duo only.
This duo has  $1.50 in savings with the introductory pricing of the brand new Limitless Top Coat.
No Cap.

You might recognize the scent, and that's because the Blue Rasberry Lemonade Scent was originally in June's Polish Pickup in the Nail Nectar pens.

Limitless is Cuticula's very first 5 Free Scented Quick Dry Top Coat!

Limitless has been in the works for some time. Amanda worked long and hard to find the perfect five free quick dry top coat.  It had a lot to live up to.  Amanda wanted one that dried quickly, shiny, and hard.  It had to not dull holo's or cause shrinkage and it had to not smear stamping, and this formula  checks all those boxes.  I myself have been using it for several months and could not love it more.  It gives excellent wear time too.  I was able to wear it for five days with only minor tip wear.  I could have gone longer, but my swatch pile was getting out of control.

Benefits of Limitless:

5 Free of (Does not contain toxic chemicals; FREE of Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toluene).
Quick Drying
Scented
No Smearing
No Shrinkage
Doesn't Dull Holos
Glassy Shine
Long-Lasting Protection

My poorly executed attempt at reverse stamping for this wonderful scent!



Silk Base Coat

Silk Base Coat is a strengthing base coat that is perfect to wear under your manis or on its own. It is a milky white to give your nails a freshly polished look.

Cuticula offers Silk Base Coat is scented and this month it's being offered in the matching scent to Limitless, the wonderful Blue Rasberry Lemonade scent!

Silk Base Coat is 5 Free (Free of formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin, and camphor),

Fast Drying, has a high gloss shine, is non-yellowing, & offers durable protection if you like to wear it alone.


Cuticula

Nail Nectar Cuticle Oil Push Pens


Nail Nectar is a non-greasy cuticle oil full of beneficial oils to the skin and nails.   This nail oil has fast become my favorite and the one I always reach for.  I actually am able to wear my nails naked, without a base coat and not fear breaking a nail because of regular application of the Nail Nectar.

Use this product as many times as you'd like throughout the day. The cuticle oil comes in the new silent push pens with brush applicator and cap. These pens can easily be refillable.

Inspiration: Carnival treats
$10
Cap: 35 packs

Instructions:
Brush the product on your skin and nails. Let oil soak in for a few seconds and then rub the remaining oils into the skin and nails.

Scent #1: 'Funhouse' A scrumptious blend of Oreos, Funnel Cake, and Vanilla. This is my take on the Deep Fried Oreo.

Scent #2: 'Candy Carousel' A mouth-watering mix of Cotton Candy, Kettle Corn, and Salt Water Taffy.

I love these two scents, and honestly, if these weren't capped I would be getting another two sets.  If i absolutely had to pick a favorite it's Candy Carousel, I am always partial to anything that's cotton candy-like, and this has a wonderfully sweet kind of blend.  Funhouse is no slacker either, it smells good enough to eat.  Definitely makes me want snacks whenever I apply it.  Not the best when I'm trying to cut out the cookies and cake but, at least I can live vicariously through it, right?
