he first thing that my nose picks up is the coconut and pineapple, then the passion fruit swoops in for a gloriously tropical scent!

Inspiration: The Little Mermaid

$16 - sold as a duo only
No Cap.

Limitless is their very first 5 Free Scented Quick Dry Top Coat. This amazingly quick-drying formula is FREE of Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toluene, and Formaldehyde.

If you do a lot of nail art, this super quick-drying formula will keep your hard work perfectly protected without any smearing when using the floating method. As an artist, you can now apply your top coat without the worry of ever ruining your hard work.

Below is some stamping I did using Limitless. (I also have used it as a top coat for all the polishes in this post except Cupcake Polish and Different Dimension).
For this look, I started off with Mic Drop Base Coat then used one coat of Cuticula's Sparks Fly over a coat of China Glaze's I Count Even.
I stamped using Cuticula's Sweet Hearts, Gumballs, and Push Pop. 
I topped everything with the Limitless Quick Dry Top Coat.
Stamping plate is from Nicole Diary 083 and Born Pretty A001
Mic Drop base coat is available with the same scent, Treasures Untold. and is a combination of ridge filler, strengthener, and sticky base coat. 

This base coat checks ALL the boxes and is everything I could ever want.  Does it always seem like you have to give up something with your base coat? Or maybe apply multiple ones to get the affect you want?  For me, one issue I have with strengthener base coats is they don't do anything to help fill in ridges, and I have some deep ones on certain nails.  With Mic Drop, however, you don't have to make ANY sacrifices.  You get long-lasting wear time, a ridge filler and strengther.

 5 Free (Free of formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin, and camphor),
Fast Drying and hours of amazing scent once fully dry.

Please note:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the original Mic Drop has been discontinued. Mic Drop has been reformulated, but after testing the only difference is the green tint to the base coat is gone. The new formula will be a creme color like the Silk Base Coat.


 Cuticula | Licorice Black Stamping Polish

Licorice is a one coat black creme stamping polish.

Licorice stamps amazingly.  It's wonderfully opaque on pickup, and It picks up the first time every single time.  I stamped using a clear stamper too, which I always find to be the fussiest stamper type.
Licorice has a permanent spot on my desk for any time I need a black polish.

$10
No Cap.

The formula is buttery smooth and opaque in one coat.  Removal is easy and I didn't have any staining.





Below is some stamping I did using Licorice

For this look, I started off with Mic Drop Base Coat then did a smoosh marble with Cuticula's Sweet Hearts, and Push Pop.  using a clear stamper. I topped that with a coat of Cuticula's Sparks Fly.
Then stamped using Licorice & I topped everything with the Limitless Quick Dry Top Coat.

5ml bottle of Super Base, 5ml bottle of Royalty and 0.30 grams of Destiny

$15
No Cap

Swatches show 1 coat over Gumballs from Cuticula.
Pixie Magic is a burnishing powder that doesn't require anything fancy. You don't need any UV lamp, or gel, you use all your normal products. Base/Color/Top Coat.  It also removes from your skin easily.  I just use a thicker cleanup brush, or a baby wipe.

This kit comes with a 5ml bottle of Jreine’s Super Base (Burnishing Base coat), a 5ml bottle of Jreine’s Royalty (cobalt blue cream), 0.30 grams by weight of Pixie Magic in DESTINY, and an applicator for easier application.

This .30 gram pot should give you several manicures.

How to apply:
- Start with Super Base or you can use your favorite base coat.
- Apply desired polish and allow it to dry.
- Apply top coat.  That isn't necessarily a requirement, but Super Base may remove a small amount of your base polish, or if your base color isn't fully dry, you can dent it accidentally when you go to burnish the powder. To eliminate this you can top coat your polish first, with your favorite top coat. I used Limitless Scented Quick Dry Top Coat.
- Float one coat of super base and allow it to dry 30-40 seconds.
- Using your fingertip or included applicator gently rub Pixie Magic Destiny onto your nail.
- Use included applicator to further burnish Destiny onto your nail.
- Remove any loose powder by using a brush or your fingers.
- Use your favorite top coat to seal.
