LynBDesigns ~ Am I Ginger?
Orange linear holo
I received Am I Ginger? in a swap because it was on my wish list. The
shade of orange wasn’t just what I expected, so I decided to try and layer it
as well.
So here’s what I did: I used two coats of Am I Ginger? on its own on my
pinkie and my pointer. The middle finger and the ring finger had a layer of Douglas’ “Ready to Go” as underwear. It’s a lovely
shimmery orange which covers in one perfect coat. Over that I applied just one
coat of Am I Ginger?.
Here’s a flash picture of my little experiment.
There’s quite a difference, huh? The holo effect is way wilder when the
LynB is on its own, but bear in mind that the nails with underwear only has got
one coat of holo goodness.
I did another attempt of a leopard mani, because I do believe that
practice makes perfect. I used a lovely cherry red matte polish from Golden
Rose: #02. Here’s my final mani with flash:
And here’s a low light picture too, to show the colour difference with
and without underwear. I low lights I like it more with underwear but in the
sun I like it more alone.
Here are the three polishes I used. On this picture you can see the
orange LynB better, and perhaps you understand why I tried to layer it?
So, how was I doing with the leopard spots this time? Please be gentle –
it’s still a learning curve, haha!
Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Fast
Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: The rainbows are really awesome. The colour has an Autumn tone to it that isn’t quite me, but that’s not the polish’s fault!

Buy again: Probably not
I definitely prefer it layered - and it's really cute with the leopard spots :)
ReplyDeleteLayered is best for this. I'm not sure I'm going to keep it, to be honest.
DeleteAnd thank you!
I think I like it layered much more. I would love to see what two coats of am I ginger over ready to go would look like but that's four coats of polish. Hmm. On the plus side your leapard spots are getting better.
ReplyDeleteReady to Go is actually a one coater, so I could have done an extra layer of I am Ginger, and it would still only have been three coats. I'll try that - just to see what it looks like.
DeleteAnd thank you, at some point I have to get them right, right? :D
Wow, it so beautiful <3 And your leopard print gets better and better, it looks great :D
DeleteI prefer it solo but it's also nice layered :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that there are people that like both :)
DeleteIt looks nice on it's own but I love it layered.
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice to hear :)
DeleteI like the layered version a little more. The leo mani is great on that bright holo orange!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :)
