Lynnderella Salad Days

It took me a while to narrow down which base colour to use under Salad Days. I can see it working with so many greens (amongst other things). I went with my most favourite Australis ever which of course they discontinued.

One coat of Salad Days over Australis Here Today Gone Tomorrow. Maybe it is just the power of suggestion, but the resemblance of Salad Days to a lovely bowl (or bottle) of real salad is quite uncanny. I mean, I can see the greens, the cherry tomatoes, the carrot sticks.... crazy!

Lynnderella is available here.

Lynnderella Connect the Heart

I have a special one for you guys today - another deeply generous gift from Lynn, Connect the Heart.

Connect the Heart is like Connect the Dots but with white, pink and red hearts as well as pink shimmer in a pink-tinted base. I've worn this twice already. The first...

One coat over Australis Bombshell. I'm sorry for the wrinkling. My Glitter Tamer desperately needed thinner and it caused some wrinkles because it was so thick - you couldn't really tell IRL though. Look at that gorgeous shimmer! And those pretty hearts just make my day.

And here's what I've got on now...

Over BYS Rebel Red, a juicy red jelly. I just noticed that the placement of the hearts and the big black hex are almost the same as when I previously wore it LOL. Now I don't get the best wear out of BYS, but I'm hoping to squeeze a few days out of this mani because I love it so so much! ♥

Past NOTD Spam

My nails are getting.... better. They should be all right after my next chop! Stupid peelies. In the mean time, here's some past NOTD spam.

China Glaze Lighthouse over Precision The Next It Girl. Sparkly yellow-gold glass fleck!

Here is The Next It Girl by itself...

Creamy egg-yolk yellow. Kind of seems like a blatant rip off of OPI The It Color. It is very nice nevertheless.

Anna Sui 300 over black. Anna Suis come in cute little rose bottles and smell like roses. Yummy! Plus, round glitter is surprisingly quite unusual.

BB Couture Bonnie. BBC glitter in a lush green, slightly jelly base. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Flomar U31. Deep, almost black base filled with duochrome flaky shimmer. It flashes predominantly purple to pink and ever so slightly golden at extreme angles. Thanks to Kristy and Erina for letting me know about this :)

China Glaze Something Sweet. I haven't seen myself wear pink for quite a while now. So many pinks just look off on me. I did like this one though!

Unnamed Sasatinnie over Australis Here Today Gone Tomorrow. I picked up the Sasatinnie really cheap while I was in Asia. It's got smaller silver, green and blue glitter with larger yellow (gold?) glitter. It's very nice layered.

And the Australis by itself...

How nice is this?! Erina tells me it's a dupe for Illamasqua Rampage. A beauty!

Australis Blue Tiger with China Glaze Cracked Concrete. I'm not too sure I'm so fond of this combo. I think it would have looked better with white crackle instead.

Precision Toxic-Wasting My Time. Reddish, caramel-y brown with lots and lots of gold shimmer. I really loved wearing this. I do so very much enjoy gold shimmer.... :)

Spam For Your Wednesday Worries...

Sorry for disappearing on you guys for a bit! I don't really have any excuse except I just didn't really feel like posting the past week.

Today was a long day and all I really want to do now is escape to my little space of the interwebs. So here is some Middle-of-the-Week Spam for your troubles.

BB Couture Horned Devil. That awesome signature BBC glitter in a bright orange jelly. Love this. LOVE.

Rimmel Azure. Shimmery blue.. slightly frosty. Meh. Nothing special. It has a purple flash in the bottle that doesn't show up on the nail at all.

American Apparel Manila. Manila folder yellow!

Rimmel Forest. I've shown this before. But it is so beautiful it deserves more pics!

Australis Valentine. Beautiful neutral red creme. Perfection in one coat.

And here it is with a little fail konading. It's so smudged! I believe this is plate BM203.

Jordana Wicked. I believe this is dupey to one of the Milani 2009 Halloweens. Orange glitter in a black base.

TBN Green Fluoro. An almost-neon green with a gorgeous shimmer. My pictures are a little colour inaccurate. Imagine it deeper, brighter and more saturated.

Zoya Crystal. Blue and gold flaky particle foil. Is that how you would describe that? I'm not really sure how you would describe this finish. Nevertheless, it's amazing! An exact dupe to OPI Reflecting Pool.

CM Disco Flares. Raspberry jelly loaded with silver glitter. It has a similar feel to Zoya Roxy.

Unnamed Miki. Deep, deep green shot through with gold shimmer. Wow!

China Glaze DV8. Bright teal holo. So nice... my second favourite from the collection.

Camouflage Colour Pumpkin. A slightly muted orange jelly. I don't think this colour is faded or "pumpkiny" enough to be considered a pumpkin orange. Still really lovely though. It's a jelly! Not something you see very often.

And with a tiny, simple black cat konad. Plate HB28. He came out a little wobbly but that's alright. I think it adds to the effect! Kind of like his fur is standing on end :D

I hope you guys are having a great week!
