Finally Back

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, May 29, 2012

After what seems like FOREVER... I finally have internet at my new house. It was briefly hooked up when posted on 5/22/12 about my new polish room, and then they came to bury the phone line outside the next day. It killed it. I've argued with my phone company ever since that they messed something up, but just got through their thick skulls today. So finally it's fixed and all is good in the world again. 

My nails are still in slightly pitiful shape, but they are getting better each day. In the mean time, I'll be showing you some pics that I had taken either before or during the move. Sorry, but because it's been so long I don't remember exactly what polishes I used or how many coats. Just enjoy pretty pictures. :)

I'm pretty sure that I used Deborah Lippmann Lara's Theme and Barielle Lemondrops.
I wanted to try out the two finger accent nail combo.



Then I added a coat of Lynnderella Connect The Dots because it always looks great over bright colors. 

Until next time ladies!

Pink Voltage + Connect The Dots

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, April 26, 2012

I really liked how it looked when someone (sorry I forget it was a long time ago) posted a pic of Lynnderella Connect the Dots over a neon pink. Well this is my recreation.
I first painted 3 thin coats of China Glaze Pink Voltage (neon) and then layered 2 coats of Lynnderella Connect The Dots over it. Topped it with a coat of Seche Vite.





 Lots of pictures just because I can! :P

Lynnderella - Connect The Dots

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, March 6, 2012

Today I have a nail polish filled with drama. And not that it gives a dramatic look. It just has a lot of history.

Lynnderella created this polish with black and white glitter. Bars, hexes, squares, shimmer, etc. It's got it all. It makes for an awesome layering polish that transforms any base color. She's a clever woman, right? Well this polish (as well as any other original Lynnderella's) are nearly impossible to get your hands on. She stays as the sole producer of her polishes and simply cannot keep up with the demand for them. They are for sale through the website Llarowe, but they sell out within minutes of being posted. And they sell for $15 a bottle when they do.... They go for crazy prices on eBay, if you're willing to pay that.

Well we all know that there are many other creative ladies in the polish world, that figured out how to make a "similar" nail polish. It is not an exact dupe, but it's got the mix of black and white glitter in all shapes and sizes. One for example is Sticks and Stones from Cover Band on Ninja Polish. And it sells for only $9. (It's currently out of stock, but they have a way you can sign up to be emailed when it's back)

Lynnderella was highly offended by this and posted an ugly blog post about it (which I think has since been deleted) and has pretty much shut down. So the entire twitter & facebook polish world has gotten heated up about it.

I don't know how I feel about it personally. I would hope I could take it as a compliment that my polish was so highly sought after.... but I can see the reality of being hurt at the same time. I just hope she takes time to think things through, but continues to make gorgeous polish.

Enough with the drama, and on to the pretty pictures!
This is 2 coats of CTD over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Blue Away.

It suprised me at how thin it was. It didn't have that thick suspension base you sometimes get with heavy glitters.... That's not to say it won't thicken up after several uses, but it was suprisingly manageable. It wasn't rough. 1 coat of topcoat smoothed everything out perfectly, and wear time was standard for me, 2 days.

5 Lynnderella Swatches & Review

Posted by Unknown on Friday, February 10, 2012

Well for those out there trying to get Lynnderella polishes know it's like impossible! Well it's possible just very tough. But I'm urging my readers to PLEASE be patient and to NOT purchase on eBay no matter HOW bad you want some Lynnderella's. Lynn made these polishes herself with passion and SHE should profit the money not some money hungry person. If you fail the first time, be patient and wait for the next one. Subscibe to Leah Ann's site llarowe so you can get updates on when Lynnderella's are available. I am not saying this to kiss a$$ to them but this is how I truly feel.

And that was exactly how I was able to purchase five polishes that I have for you ladies today. Of course I'll be constantly stalking llarowe to see if I can get the new collection!


Group shot


Shape Shifter is a mixed holographic glitter shapes in different varieties. I did this over a blackened teal so it won't be completely black and have a little color. There's a mix of diamond, square, hex, tiny, and bar glitters.

A diamond shaped glitter


Gotta Love Brains is a sheer gray with pink, blue, aqua, silver glitter in different shapes. This is two coats over Sally Hansen's Eel Skin. This reminds me a little of Deborah Lippmann's Glitter in the Air because of the soft shades of the glitter.


Bride of Franken is a purple shimmer with hologaphic micro glitter and blue iridescent glitters mixed with the bunch. I did two coats over Wet n Wild On A Trip. And boy do I love the turn out of this one. I love how the blue glitters just pops out of no where in certain lighting.


This angle shows more of the blue

Snow Angel is a shimmerry hex and square glitters in a sheer frosted white base. I did two coats over white. This is very hard to photograph as the glitters are quite subtle. I tried doing it over black and it just takes out the innocence of this polish, so I decided to just keep it over a white. My picture does no justice to polish. It's a definitely must see in person.


Connect the Dots is a mix of black and white glitters, bar, square, and oval in a clear base. I did it over a hot pink from China Glaze. I can't really remember the name but I *believe* it's Flip Flop Fantasy. But anyways, Connect the Dots is an instant nail art polish. It goes with so many colors because it's black and white, and it applies like you just splattered it on your nails. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Ok so the formula for these were amazing. They applied so smoothly, but that's also because most of these were over a base color. Nevertheless, it's still amazing. The only problem is that I needed at least two coats of top coat to smooth out the glitters, but that's never an issue for me since I barely keep my nails longer than 3 days. So even though I was showing minimal tip wear, it still looked awesome on my nails. I can't pick one favorite because I love all five of them. These are $15 at llarowe. But I feel it was worth every penny in my wallet.

Lynnderella polishes will only be available for purchase through Leah Ann. Once again I urge you to be patient and only purchase from her and not rely on eBay!

And that's all I have for today!
