Psych-Inspired Nail Polish: I've Heard It Both Ways by LynB Designs

Press Sample

Greetings, dear readers, and happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and the new week is off to a fabulous start! As you can probably tell, it has been a busy one around here! Rest assured, you are in the correct place; The Jedi Wife has been rebranded to Laugh, Love, Contour! There was supposed to be a whole new look as well, but things unfortunately fell through at the last minute. I have a new look in store for you as well to go along with the name change so be on the lookout for that. I had debated on holding off on posting until everything was done, but I've got beautiful things to share and can't hold off any longer. With that said, let's jump on in!

Are you a fan of the television show Psych? If so, do I have something special for you! LynB Designs has created a custom thermal nail polish for the Facebook group Polish My Fandom and it is available for purchase now! Let's check it out!

Blue-toned green to blue thermal with a ton of blue to green to gold shifting iridescent flakies and iridescent shifting glitters.
Hello, gorgeous! This polish is so pretty to look at, and I just love the thermal colour change! While the inspiration is from Psych, this is something that I can envision mermaids wearing on their nails; you know I'm going to be sporting this beauty while at the beach this summer!
I've Heard It Both Ways is a little sheer and will have to be built up to opacity, but this sheerness really allows the iridescent flakies and glitters to sparkle perfectly. I found the formula to be a little uneven with the first two coats, but the third coat evened out my nails nicely. This third coat also was necessary to reach opacity although those with longer nails may find they need an extra coat. I recommend not painting with very thin coats as this can cause the flakies to dig into the polish and shift it around if you aren't careful. I have added a layer of top coat for these photos.
Thermal polishes are sadly a little wasted on me when I have short nails as I really throw out some heat and I usually only ever see the warm state. If my nails are lengthy with overhang beyond my fingertips, I can enjoy the gradient effect. Thankfully my nubbins had grown out enough that you can see some of the gradient effect in the previous photos. To get a better look at the cold state, the following set of photos feature this polish after dipping my hands in cold water. My nails never keep the full cold state for long so you will see a little of the blue warm state closer to my cuticles, but at least you can see the gorgeous blue-tones green colour more. Check it out!
I adore this shade, and it will make spending time in the cold Pacific Ocean here in Northern California much more enjoyable!

I've Heard It Both Ways is available for purchase from LynB Designs now! Please note that you MUST be a member of the Polish My Fandom Facebook group in order to purchase this polish. Once you are a member of the group, you can find the discount code which marks this polish down to $10.

It is only available for this limited time, and you do not want to miss out!

Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day!
XO!
