I invited the wonderful Jenna, from LynBDesigns, to do a guest post this week! She's one of my favorite indie makers, but she's also a blogger. Since I am always promoting her nail polish, I thought it was about time I help promote her blog!

Hello there, dear readers. I've been working on this review for the better part of a month. It seems like every time I wanted to do it one or more of my nails broke. So prepare yourselves for different nail lengths.

It's been close to a year since I've heard of this indie and I've wanted to try some of her polishes for ages. Strangely I never knew how to order them. I couldn't find her anywhere. Well, she's on Facebook, and that's it. The indie of which I speak is Whimsical Ideas by Pam. She makes such creative polishes, and I love that her cat Kismet is worked into her line. I have four lovelies to show you today, so let's get started.

Peanut Butter and Jelly:

It's the polish that launched a dozen sandwiches. I've never been a fan of PB&J's, but after I got this polish I had a need to eat them. I tended to avoid them because I'm not the biggest fan of jelly, but that's all changed now. Also, please ignore the cat hair. I never seem to get them until it's too late.
This gorgeous polish was great to apply and only took two coats to get full coverage, and look at that color.
I love a good vampy red base and the added rose goldy glitters really make the polish have depth. It creates the perfect jelly sandwich all on it's own.
I just can't get over how much I love the color of this polish, and how great it was to work with. I love that such a simple combination could look so deep and glowy.

On to Peacock Park:
I love a good monochromatic polish, and Peacock Park doesn't disappoint. It's a collection of teal glitters in a teal base.
I honestly thought it wouldn't be opaque in any amount of coats, but it was. I have it as two coats over Sally Hansen Blaze Blue on all but my ring finger. On that I have three coats over nothing. I had the hardest time picking undies for this mani. It looks fantastic over butter LONDON Slapper, but the true blue gave it more depth.
Just a word of warning. The Sally Hansen color I used stained like no other. I don't recommend that blue for undies. I can't wait to try this over Slapper.

Magical Mystery Tour:
How I love thee purple and blue. This again, is a case of simple looking way more complex. When I saw this polish online I was drawn in. I couldn't look away. When I finally got to order it, I was stunned to see how simple it was.
I did two coats over NYC Prince Street which is the perfect color match for undies. I left my left hand to just have Prince Street and there's no difference in color. Magical Mystery Tour even has a subtle shimmer in it's purple base.
I love how the blue glitter just stands out against the purple. I can't get over the complexity.

Lastly Kitty Glitter:
How could I not get one of her polishes inspired by her cat? I love my cats, and I love this color. Of the four, it's my favorite. Also, I'm a sucker for pastel aqua colors.
I did two coats over a cheap polish from Payless called Aqua Island. I do think that this polish would be opaque if you did three decent coats.
This is another polish that looks more complex than it is. It's just a simple light aqua base with silver glitter, and yet it's so scrummy. Yep, that's a mix of yummy and scrumptious.

Overall these were great to work with, and I can't wait to try more. Pam's Spring collection just launched April 24th, and those colors look just as tempting as these.

You can find Pam on Facebook, and order via email.
