LynBDesigns: T.A.R.D.I.S., Snog Box, & Space Gandalf

We've had Sherlock and Dr. Seuss polishes, but to finish up my set of reviews of LynBDesigns, I've saved the best for last... Doctor Who!!  


Read on for lots more photos, a full review, and a healthy dose of fangirling!
First up is a polish inspired by none other than the Doctor's beloved TARDIS.  Time and Relative Dimension in Space is a deep TARDIS-blue jelly base packed with navy and silver glitters.

I was expecting this to be more sheer than it was, and was happy to find that it was opaque in just two coats.  I can assure you that the little bit of visible nail line you see in the photos wasn't visible at all in person!  Formula didn't give me any issues, though it does need a good coat of top coat to smooth it all out.  Absolutely love the depth of this... I think Jenna found a way to use time lord technology in polish, because this is definitely bigger on the inside.

Yet another TARDIS-inspired polish!  Snog Box is a bright metallic blue with a few white flakies here and there.  




Ahhh, Clara.  I love your sass. 


Snog Box required two coats for opacity.  I did find that the pigment was a bit streaky, but it didn't look as brushstroke-y in person as it does in photos.  This blue really glows!  Clara was the first companion that I watched (I only started during series 7 part 2!) so I've got a soft spot for her, and I was very excited to see a polish inspired by her calling the TARDIS a snog box! 



If you haven't seen the deleted scene that inspired Space Gandalf, go watch it. Now.  

Back?  Fantastic!  Space Gandalf is a very dark grey jelly base loaded with silver holographic moons, shards, and microglitter.  It's like a universe on your nails!

Being a big Lord of the Rings fan as well, I absolutely LOVE this scene.  I'm so sad it didn't make the final cut!!

Just in case you couldn't get the Space Gandalf image in your head:

You're welcome for that.

Like the others, this one only needed two coats for opacity.  I had to place the moon glitters, but they came out of the bottle in abundance so it wasn't much of an issue for me, considering the final result!  The jelly base gives it such depth, and all of that holo is SO amazing when the light hits it!!

You can purchase these and other LynBDesigns polishes on Etsy, and like Jenna's Facebook page for updates. 

So now that we're through with all of these awesome fandom-inspired polishes from LynBDesigns, it's time to pick favourites!!  Out of this bunch, T.A.R.D.I.S. and Space Gandalf are a pretty close tie, but the holo in Space Gandalf takes the cake for me!  But don't fear, Snog Box isn't far behind!  ;)  All in all, Space Gandalf is tied with Purple Polish of Sex from Saturday's post for the top spot! 

Your turn!  Which of these polishes is your favourite?  Are you rushing over to Etsy to buy any yet?  ;)
