Lynnderella 50 Shades of May-Be

Ahh... 50 Shades. I have not and probably will not read it. Although I am a big devourer of, how would you say, Harlequin romance? The bad kind... Harlequin Presents. LOL. But yes.... it is true. Any other sad souls out there too??

One coat of 50 Shades of May-Be over OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui. Consists of black, white and greys like the name suggests. And if you look closely, you will also see a translucent, large-particle flaky shimmer that runs through it. The glitter is super shiny and I had a hard time taking pictures because I couldn't stop the reflections. Amazing.

Lynnderella is available here.

Layla Flash Black

Just a quick post today. I haven't been feeling too hot lately and being the silly goose that I am, I still decided to head out to the CBD for dinner in freezing cold, rainy weather. Smart move Stef. Smart move.

Layla Flash Black. Three coats on Aqua Base. Awesomesauce. Darker and more linear than Let's Do It In 3D. Blindingly holo in sunshine. Layla really knocked this one out of the park - it's oh so pretty. (Plus, look at how amazing the label is in the first picture!)

Lynnderella Lovey Dovey, LavenDear and Mlle. Violette de Bleu

Uhh... I just realised these have been sitting on my computer for so long and I've never posted them. I also realise that I say that quite often. LOL. Sorry.

Lovey Dovey. Two coats over I think Parlez-Vous OPI? I remember someone mentioning that this is kind of like Mercurial in reverse and I agree. Where Mercurial is grey with purple accents, Lovey Dovey is a smokey purple with grey accents. Just lovely and really elegant looking.

LavenDear. Two coats over China Glaze Gamer Glam. LavenDear is a blend of different lavender and what I think are little pink holo glitters. It also has a gorgeous blue shimmer running through it that makes the polish seem more cool-toned in the sun. However, my pictures pull it way too blue. The second picture is the most colour accurate.

Mademoiselle Violette de Bleu. Two coats over Diamond Cosmetics Not Your Hum Drum Plum. Again, my pictures pull this way too blue. MVdB is a mix of different blue glitters with a dash of violet in a blurple base. Really freaking gorgeous and Not Your Hum Drum Plum was perfect under this. Perfect.

Sally Hansen Gem Crush Collection

Well... not really the whole collection. Just my favourite three. Again, many thanks to the awesome Ali for getting these for me. *hugs!*

Lady Luck. Magenta microglitter and small silver holo hexes. Amazing! It's so strange that I would pick a pink as my favourite from a collection... but yes. This is my favourite. It's so bright and happy. And the shade doesn't give me corpse hands!

Glitz Gal. A couple of shades of charcoal microglitter plus small silver holo hexes. Sparkly! I love wearing this as a pedi. I know there are a few dupes to this one out there though.

Cha-Ching! Red microglitter and small silver hexes. Such a rich red on the nail. I love how this pulls together... the silver glitter looks like it's half buried in a sea of red. So awesome!


One thing I think should be mentioned are the brushes on these. They're the same as the Complete Salon Manicure ones resembling a big ass paddle. Do. Not. Like. I hate brushes like these. They don't give me enough control while painting. Love the colours though. I'm willing to forgo the brush for that!

Lynnderella Funny Money Part 2

Here's the second part of Funny Money!

Two coats of Mysterious Ways over Missha VL001. I layered MW over a lilac because I wanted to bring out the purple tones in the polish. The holographic glitter looks awesome glinting through the sheer base. It's ethereal looking. Really lovely!

Two coats of Attitude Adjust-Mint over ChG Re-Fresh Mint. Ahhh this one is so cool. I love the iridescent green-y, gold-y glitter. I think I should have chosen a different base though. Maybe a softer mint green... the China Glaze looks pretty stark doesn't it?

Two coats of Change over Essence Nude It. This one was one of the Lynn's I was most excited for. It doesn't disappoint! It's freaking perfect.... the best gold glitter ever. Actually, a lot of the glitter isn't even gold. There's silver, copper, flecks of red and green and also note that big ass bronze hex on my ring! I was stumped on what to layer this over though... Gold to match? Purple to contrast? I settled on a tan-based nude. I think it looks really nice!

Two coats of I Can Afford It! over Ulta3 Frog Prince. Bright as hell green glitter with specks of copper and purple. Did I mention it's really bright? It's kind of like a very subtle Mardis Gras mani...


As always, please check Lynnderella's blog and Llarowe for more info. I believe neither Lynn or Leah Ann will be selling until the new year.

Four More Lynnderellas

So uhh, I received my new Lynnderella package containing her new collection today and realised that I haven't even posted the rest of the Early Halloween's. My bad!

Shape Shifter. One coat over black. There are so many different shaped holographic glitters in this. I got a moon, star, butterfly and diamond in this swatch but I've also seen squares, hexes, hearts and flowers!

Bibbity Bobbity Boo Blue. Two coats over Pure Ice French Kiss (thanks Noelie!). All different shades of blue glitter. Put them together and what have you got? Bibbity bobbity boo.....

Bride of Franken. Two coats on black. Shimmer, holo microglitter and electric blue glitter. This one layers really nicely over pretty much anything!

Mercury's Rainbow. Two coats over Ulta3 Wild Berry. Just take a look at all that holoiness right there. Amazing! It's so sparkly in the sun.

For more information please check Lynnderella's blog. She's not opening shop until the new year though so be sure to stay tuned!
