July Polishes are up!

It's been a crazy last few months for me, but I think things are finally starting to even out (knock on wood) and I've finally been able to catch up on some of the new polishes I wanted to post! There's still more to come, and they'll be spread out over future months so they don't block up and delay each month's postings.

This month we have:

• Blink
• Eagle Nebula
• Enterprise and Vengeance
• Iron Man's Fixed
• Kristina
• Loki Stole My Feels
• Marie Curie
• Pacific Rim
• Still RED
• A Year of Full Moons
• Summer Solstice 2013
• Man of Steel
• Supermoon
• Tesla
• The Wolverine

And I relisted everything that was sold out, including the Polish of the Month Club, so we're ready to go!

In the future, look for Dragons, more heroes, the Fall and Winter colors for this year, my graduation color, the first-year-anniversary color, and a set made of a selection of this past year's Exclusive Colors from the Club!

New Stuff! Spring colors, ICFA, and a few randoms!

This past week, I posted all the new colors and reposted everything that was sold out, so we're at full capacity!

Here's the noobs for your consideration:

 Codex! First of what will be a full set of The Guild colors...when I get back from ICFA and then finish my novel and have time to formulate them...

I really like how this one turned out, and even with my funky nails, it was super-easy to apply when I tested it--and really, since I'm the one making these, that's how it should be.

 The new spring colors--Equinox, Crocus, Verdure and Caelum. Super-sheer, but sparkly and sweet, and I think perfect for a classic-but-kicky spring.

 Happy Accident -- it's what happened when I was trying to make something else! It was almost called Slimer, but I changed my mind.

 Unseelie -- My St Patty's Day color for this year! A little sheer like all my greens seem to be, but with shimmers of gold and green and lots of gold and green glitter, so that it looks opaque anyway. I love this shade. I've been wearing it all weekend.

 Prince of Stories and Trandformations, the colors I made for ICFA-34, the best conference ever, that I'm finally getting to go back to this year! Prince is what my head looks like when I read Neil Gaiman, or when I hear him speaking*, black with green shimmer, very small green flakies and green glitter. Transformations is a deep red with gold and pinkish-red shimmer and a slight duochrome, and is built on a batch of pigment I got that sometimes changes color--it transforms!

 3.14159 -- The color for Pi Day! It's the grey-black-green of those old chalkboards where I first learned about Pi, with bonus actual chalk powder, and a semi-matte finish. I really love it.

 Baby Rainbow -- Two different sizes of rainbow-iridescent microglitter in a topper to add all sorts of sparkle. It also looks impossibly sweet on it's own, but then you'll need lots of top-coat!

And last but not least, Vulcan, my first Star Trek color! This is for the dearly departed planet of the people of the same name, lost in the reboot. It's a desert-stone orange with gold and red shimmer and sparse silver stars. It's way more opaque than my usual polishes, a quirk of the pigment that works perfectly for a world that's bigger than earth and therefore heavier.

They're all at the shop now, as well as all the ones that had dropped off in recent months (like the entire Firefly Line, which is all back!), so have at em!



*Have I mentioned that I'm sort of synaesthetic? No? Well, I am. Sounds, especially voices, music, sometimes shows or movies, look like colors and shapes in my head, so I try to translate them into the nail polish. Cool, huh?

Two Custom sets, now for sale in the shop!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/116133836/lins-and-aylins-custom-nail-polish-set

https://www.etsy.com/listing/116133493/nilyas-and-reeces-custom-nail-polish-set

Both are only sold in sets, and only for a limited time, so get em while you can! They're $18 each!

Updates and junk

I ordered the colors for the Doctor Who line, as well as a few extras that were just too pretty to ignore and will probably show up sooner or later--one almost definitely in my sister's birthday color, since it's very close to her current favorite color.

I also ordered a backup bottle of base from Nailite, and to make the minimum order size, I bought some blue and green ready-made polish that they had on sale, so I'll probably post swatches and reviews, and probably also comment on what I'd do differently when those come in.

Guys, I'm loving this so much! I'm super-excited to bring you all more stuff as often as I can afford it!

New bonus line: Metalurges Line

Just listed!

 This is Alchemist's Daydream. Different kinds of gold microfine glitter, including some holo.

 Beneath the Milky Twilight. Several kinds of silver, including holo.

 Accidental Specimens. Orange and copper glitters, including a little holo.

The full set! Glitterbomb!

October and November nail polish premiers

It's almost October! I've launched the Halloween Line and the Firefly Line already, and I'm planning what'll come out next month. So far, barring sudden changes in the muse, shipping or supplies, here's what I've got:

• Early on: Doctor Who Line: Tardis, Control Room, Console, Time Vortex
• Later: Thanksgiving: Probably named after classic parts of the Thanksgiving dinner, or else super-jewel-toned harvest colors. Maybe both, if I can get the supplies.
• Possibles: Likely some additions to the Halloween line--probably opaque versions of the current sheers; if they're up in the first week or so, it's a go.
• Official Opening Day / Grand Opening color. Undecided on actual color, but it'll have lots of celebratory glitter!

In November, I'm looking at:

• Commemorative colors for my Sister and my Niece's birthdays, and maybe my Dad's
• The first of the Christmas / Winter Holiday colors, with more the closer to Christmas we get, and then toward the end, the New Years Glitter Bombs
• Somewhere around the middle, The Hobbit
• If there's still time, the first of the Downton Abbey classy post-Victorian colors (if not, this'll probably wait until January, because December will be busy!)

Stay tuned for the December launches, news and release announcements!

First Line!

I'm moved, and I'm working on settling in (and why is that always way harder than we think it'll be when we're planning the moves?), and I've decided on the first line! It's going to be the first four of an ongoing Firefly line:

• Tell Em I Ain't Comin' Back - A deep black with starry shimmer and glitter
• Feelin' A Mite Truthsome - Coppery
• Should We Shoot Em, Cap'n? - Glittery brownish
• Love Keeps Her Flyin' - Bronzy glitter

And I'm going to see if I can recreate Glitter 15, my personal birthday Franken as a special edition.

And I'm going to come up with something really festive and limited-run which I'll call Opening Day Celebrations for when I launch!

Stay tuned!

Wake up, Incidental Twin!

This site is now the site for my crafting, makeup-making and nail polish company Incidental Twin! Whoo! I'm working on nail polish formulas now. I have a few Frankens that I really like, but I don't have the means to mass produce them yet. The goal is to launch the company officially sometime in January, after I've built up stock and ironed out formulas. It'll be epic. So stay tuned!
