Lynnderella Inner Space

Not much to say about this except holy crap I love it. In fact, a huge bottle macro is my current desktop wallpaper!

One coat of Inner Space over Bloom Hollywood. I like to think of Inner Space as an amalgamation of Connect the Dots and The Glittering Crowd. It's got a base of the black and white CtD style glitters while all the space in between (inner space?) is filled with colour.

Lynnderella is available here.

Lynnderella Spam

An aggregation of some past NOTDs. Sorry about the fluctuating nail lengths... I've been lazy about filing.

Attitude Adjust-Mint. One coat over Jordana Mint Candy (dupe for Chanel Jade...remember that frenzy?). Last time I wore this, my base was too stark of a mint. I like this much better. Soft and pretty.

Funny Money. One and a half coats over Essie Going Incognito. I wanted a bit more of the multi-glitter in this mani so I dabbed on a few glitters from The Glittering Crowd before going over it again with Funny Money to harmonise everything.

Cauldron Drippings. One coat over Cult Nails Devious Nature. I'm in love with Cauldron Drippings. I've worn it over pink, orange and black. Next time I think it's going to be purple!

Connect the Dots. One coat over Kit Top Gear. Is Top Gear still available? If it is... Aussies, get thee to a Kit store and grab it. It's awesome. This is the new formulation of Connect the Dots. Click here for a bottle shot comparison. But just quickly, the new formula is denser, has a heavier shimmer and more glitter variation. I love both deeply.

I Can Afford It! One coat over Bloom Bahamas. My current NOTD. The sprinkling of orange and purple is so cute. And another PSA for Aussies... make sure you go pick up any B by Blooms you've been eyeing since they're being discontinued from Target. So sad.... I prefer them over the regular Blooms. Good news is that they're only $7 now. Bahamas is an awesome fluoro green. Not as neon as others but it has a perfect, smooth two coat formula.

Some Red Spam

Reds can be so overdone but they are so very sexy! I know some people have trouble finding reds that suit their skin tone (kittytokaren!!) but I don't think I've ever met a red that has looked "off" on me. I've met some I didn't like, but never one that didn't suit my skin tone. Here are just a few I enjoy...

China Glaze Phat Santa. Love the name, love the colour. It's slightly jelly-ish.

Here it is with a coat of Dare to Wear Disco Ball sandwiched between. I loved this mani.

BB Couture Napa Valley Red. A particularly gorgeous take on the "red glitter in red jelly" polishes. It's a little deeper than others I have but not so deep that it's vampy. Actually, I'm wondering if the formula's changed since my bottle seems much lighter than other pics I've seen.

Chi Chi Va Va Va Voom. I keep wanting to write that as just Va Va Voom with only two Va's. Anyway, it's a bright red with hidden pink shimmer. The shimmer didn't want to come out and play in any of my pics though.

China Glaze Thunderbird. Super glowy metallic red. My camera had a mild freak out trying to capture this one.

Bloom Adelaide AKA Jessica Mauboy I. I heard that Jessica Mauboy I has been discontinued which is a shame since it's one of my favourites. Lots of lovely flaky shimmer.

Reds always apply so nicely, so smooth and opaque. I think it has something to do with the pigment... just like how yellow is always a little troublesome. Sometimes, at moments like this, I even understand why Suzi seems to love them so much.

Scandal Love Holic Green and Bloom Abbie

I was just swatching when I originally did this combo but I liked it so much that I stopped, finished off the rest of my nails and kept it as my NOTD.

Scandal Love Holic Green. Love Holic Green is gorgeous. Really beautiful. I've used up a good third of my bottle because I love it so much. It resembles this Shisem I posted about earlier on except it's a tad lighter and doesn't have any jelly-like qualities to it. It's a perfect two coater creme. I remember seeing Kiki Chaos raving about it which made me take it out of my untrieds where it had been sadly sitting.


Then I layered a coat of Bloom Abbie over it.

Abbie consists of transparent, crystal-like glass-flecks in a clear base. This combo makes me long for snow! It doesn't snow down here in Melbourne but I so wish it did. I want to wake up one morning and see something like this...

Of course, my backyard look absolutely nothing like that and it'd also be a shit cold morning... but a girl can dream right? :)

A green, a blue/green and a blue shimmer

Three shimmery polishes - one green, one blue-ish green and one blue! All three belong in my current, ever-changing Top 20.

The green...

Precision Poison Ivy. A medium-dark forest green with gold shimmer. I have a few colours like this but this one is my favourite. Greens like this just do me in every time. Plus the freaking gold shimmer is so darn lovely. Amaze.


The blue/green...

Bloom San Francisco AKA Bianca in the regular line. So complex. It's composed of a slightly teal, blue base with lots of gold shimmer but it also has a green pearl overlay which makes it look slightly duochrome and so astonishingly awesome.


The blue...

Etude House BL009. Super duper glowy blue with heaps of green shimmer. Kind of reminiscent of Orly Royal Navy since it has the same kind of idea. It's VERY vibrant. You have to see this one in person to fully appreciate it.


A while back, I promised Kris a picture of my furry little friend. So here he is (kind of, lol)...

Green Eggs and (blue) Spam!

I've found myself swatching a lot of my blues so I've decided to post them all at once so... Spammah! And just a warning: not only is there broken nails in this post, but my nails are also super nubs D:

Unnamed Miki. Reminds me of DS Magic/Orly Lunar Eclipse. Very pretty!

Etude House BL009. Sorry I'm not holding the Etude bottle. They are too curvy and funky for my fingers to wrap around properly, LOL. This is just... so. beautiful. Guise, if you no haz, you needz!

Ozotic 201 over a blue creme (I can't remember what it is). There's blue, purple and a sprinkling of holo bar glitter in this one. I must admit... it's not as awesome as I was hoping it to be.

Nfu-Oh 119. Wooo! Blue jelly! JELLEH!

LA Girl Alkaline Blue. Bright blue foil. I love bright coloured foils. This is one is very nice and glowy.

Essie Lapis of Luxury. I really liked last year's Resort collection. Nice squishy cremes that are almost-but-not-really jellies.

Color Club Pure Energy. Isn't that shimmer just glorious?! So so pretty! Tied for my favourite from the Electro Candy collection with the purple.

Bloom Tel Aviv. This pretty much looks black until it hits the sun. Then the bright blue shimmer flecks pop up.

OPI DS Glamour. Dark blue holo... nuff said.

Ozotic 617. Medium blue scattered holo. Love this one!

Hope you guys enjoyed that! ♥
