1850 Artisan Polish | Earthquake Weather
Earthquake Weather is described as a smokey, blackened burgundy that leans slightly toward dark brown and has shifts from golden to burgundy and purple. Topped with iridescent multichrome flakies shifting from gold to green and red.
Inspiration:
This enigmatic color is inspired by the Earthquake Weather urban legend popular in Southern California which says that unusually warm weather without any wind is a sign that an earthquake is imminent.

77 Nail Lacquer | 13 Steps to Hell
13 Steps to Hell is described as a blue-based multichrome that shifts blue to green to purple with large particle shimmer that shifts red to orange to yellow and a touch of iridescent rainbow microglitter.
Inspiration:
The 13 Steps To Hell is an urban legend out of Maltby, Wa. As the legend goes, in Maltby’s cemetery, there is a tomb for a wealthy family that has been deceased for ages. The only peculiar thing about it is that it has 13 steps descending into it. As many may know, thirteen is a stereotypically unlucky number, for many reasons. In the past, many teenagers and young adults have dared their friends to go down the 13 steps, and touch the door to the tomb. Nothing too scary yet, right? You’d be wrong to ask, for when the person got to the 13th step, they would get a glimpse into Hell. Supposedly, this urban legend has emotionally scarred so many people, that some went completely insane and are no longer able to talk. It’s been said, since so many people were doing this on dares, there were actual signs, put in place warning potential victims of Maltby’s 13 Steps Into Hell.

Confection Nail Fortifier | Watermelon Slush
Watermelon Slush smells delicious! It smells just like it sounds, it's got a nice sweet juicy watermelon scent. I applied it on my nails one day when I was at someone's house and I heard someone else in the room say, "something smells really good!". That gave me a chuckle. That being said, it's not an overpowering scent at all. It's just the right amount.
Inspiration:
Inspired by the urban legend that if you eat watermelon seeds, a watermelon will grow inside your stomach.
Confection Nail Fortifier is a non-greasy formula that's creamy and fortified to help keep nails strong and cuticles soft and moisturized. This product gives the perfect amount of hydration, nutrition, and amazing smelling scent. A little bit goes a long way with this product.
I use this product many times during the day so feel free to use this product as many times as you'd like throughout the day.
Instructions:
Tap your finger lightly into the cream and ever so slightly dab each nail with the product. Rub the product into each nail and cuticle until you no longer see the cream. I like to rub it all through my hands after rubbing it into the skin. You should be left with moisturized nails and cuticles.

Cuticula
Limitless Top Coat & Blush Base Coat Duo
'Grim Grinning Ghosts' is a complex blend of blood oranges, sweet pineapples, mandarin, a hint of cherry, a dash of effervescence and a hint of vanilla.
I really enjoy the scent of this, the ingredients all blend together to form the most perfect fruity smell, I couldn't put my finger on it, but it reminded me of something I used to drink when I was a kid. I was a huge fruit punch fan growing up though, (fruit punch mouth anyone?) It's a more delicate type of fruity smell, but it's present enough to have you craving something sweet.
If you want to see more examples of how wonderfully shiny Limitless is, everything you see in this post was topped using Limitless except for the Cupcake Polish and Different Dimension, for those I used Glisten and Glow's Quick Dry!
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.
Base colors used are Polished For Days Dragon Fly and 2019 in a verticle gradient.

Blush Base Coat:
Blush Basecoat is the perfect way to start off any manicure. It protects your nails from staining and offers the same strengthing properties you have come to love using Cuticula's Silk, but this one has a pink tint to it which gives your nails a classy and delicate look when worn alone. This has the same wonderful scent that I described above for Limitless.
Blush Base Coat is 5 Free (Free of formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin, and camphor),
It's fast-drying, blurs imperfections, helps whiten and brighten nails, protects against splitting and breaking and has durable protection for a long-lasting mani.
This works best in 2 coats alone or one coat under your favorite nail polish.
For full transparency, I used one coat of Cuticula's Mic Drop for this picture, and two coats of Blush. Mic Drop is a strengthing ridge filling base coat, and my ridges are terrible. I wanted to show Blush how it was meant to shown, and not have my ridgelines distract from it, so I used the Mic Drop to smooth the ridges out.

I painted my nails normally using all my usual top and base coat products. Once it was dry, I applied a thin coat of Jrine's Super Base, and then took my finger, dipped it in the powder and rubbed it on my nails. Then I finished it with the applicator to burnish it. I started off using liquid latex this time to protect my fingers from clean up, but found I didn't care for it because I kept accidentally rubbing it off. So I went back to just using a baby wipe. All I did was take a baby wipe and clean around my cuticles and it was all gone. Super easy! I then applied my Limitless Fast Drying Top Coat from Cuticula and was done! Super easy with gorgeous results!
