Lynnderella I Don't Mean Rhinestones!

Ah, late post today! That Saturday post must have thrown me off :p Anyhow, today I have another Lynnderella from this past Summer's collection, I Don't Mean Rhinestones. I wore this over Nina Ultra Pro's Cobalt. This is one of the new colors in the new bottle. It is such an amazing jelly! I did not photograph it alone because I was in a bit of a time crunch, but next time I wear it, I'll be sure to make a post for it all on it's own.

 Now, this Lynnderella, much like most of the others I've tried from this collection is super dense! So I only did 1 coat over Cobalt. I'm sure if any of you want to wear it alone, you'd likely get full coverage in two coats. But enough talk, let's get to the pictures!

What do you guys think? Have you layered it over a different color family? Also, I wanted to say that my next few posts I'm going to take a break from Lynnderellas. Mainly because I just got some new goodies that I want to show off! So until next time, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful evening!

Finger Paints polish swatches

Finger Paints Late Night Rendezvous. Three coats. This is not a Zoya Charla dupe.

Finger Paints Red Marzipan. Two coats.

Kleancolor Fuschia Glitter. One coat. That is how fuchsia is written on my bottle.

Sinful Colors Ciao Bella

Sinful Colors Ciao Bella. Two coats. This one is subdued indoors but really comes to life in sunlight. It really sparkles. No trouble with application but I did get tip wear fairly quickly.

Layla Ocean Rush polish swatch

Layla Ocean Rush. Three coats over Make Up Store Aqua Fix. I am always hesitant to wear holos that require an aqua base since I've had so many problems in the past. The MUS Aqua Fix seems to be working for me compared to other brands. I did not get any cracking or any lumps. Unfortunately, this one chipped on me within the first 12 hours.

OPI Spark de Triomphe over Ocean Rush. One coat. I used a light hand since this glitter is quite dense but still easy to apply.

Sephora by OPI swatches

Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas. Two coats.

Sephora by OPI Cartwheels on the Catwalk. Three coats. The formula was a bit finicky.

Sephora by OPI Is It Payday Yet? Three coats.

Sephora by OPI If You've Got It, Haunt It. Three coats. This is one of my favorite polishes by them. The iridescent glitters really add a nice touch.

Sephora by OPI Dance til Fawn. Two coats. A really nice taupe.

Indies: Pahlish polish swatches

Pahlish Dark Parades. Three coats. My version is a lot bluer than other swatches I've seen. Dark Parades is usually a purple. The glitter is a bit challenging to apply so I added some thinner and it helped significantly. I really like the flecks in this.

Pahlish Great Wide Open and Kleancolor Born to the Purple. One coat each over black. Born to the Purple has large and small fuchsia hexes in a tinted base. 

Pahlish Great Wide Open over Sephora by OPI If You've Got It, Haunt It. One coat. I love this polish. The white mixed with all the colors and shapes.

Pahlish Fire in the Taco Bell. Three coats. 

Fire in the Taco Bell over OPI Y'all Come Back, Ya Hear? One coat.

Pahlish Lovesong Writer. Three coats. I had a hard time getting this one smooth. There were a few curling glitters in it. The large hex glitter and bar glitter in particular.

Lovesong Writer over American Apparel Downtown LA.  Two coats.

Overall, I was a bit disappointed with these. The only one I liked was Great Wide Open. My Dark Parades was a blue rather than purple and difficult to apply. Lovesong Writer was also a bit difficult for me to apply and the curling glitter did not help.

Pahlish can be purchased from www.etsy.com/shop/pahlish.

Indies: Candeo swatches

Candeo Glacier. Three coats. I wish I didn't get a bad bottle of this because I loved this one so much. All the glitters sunk to the bottom and shaking did not do any good. I kept my bottle upside down for a few days before doing this swatch. I did contact Melinda and she was sweet enough to send me a replacement bottle of Old City! Woo hoo! Good customer service is a priority for me. 

Avon Sequined Turquoise. Three coats. I purchase this last winter and I believe it was limited edition.

 Candeo Divebomb over Sequined Turquoise. Two coats.

 
NYX Girls Sea of Cortez. Four coats. This is not a Zoya Charla dupe. Sea of Cortez has green and gold while Charla does not. 

Candeo Divebomb over Sea of Cortez. Two coats.

Candeo Orchid. Three coats. The big hexes were a bit hard to get out. 

OPI DS Exclusive. Two coats. This is a really bad picture, but I didn't have sunlight at the time. It is holo indoors as well as in sunlight. I guess it shows the base color pretty well? 

Candeo Orchid over Exclusive. Two coats. 

Sally Hansen Freeze. Three coats. I had to decant this one immediately because I hate the insta dri brushes so much. It was wonkier than normal so it made it impossible to apply. I just picked this one up recently so you should still be able to find it stores. It was in a display so I believe it is limited edition, but don't quote me!

Candeo South St. over Freeze. Two coats. I think I need to try this one over black. I wasn't really liking it over Freeze. 

La Femme Galaxia. Two coats. 

Candeo Sprouse over Galaxia. Two coats. This is my favorite of the Lynnderella Connect the Dots types only second to the original. It has silver and blue glitters as well as holo shimmer. 

When I showed Mr. Janimal this, he said he saw a wrench and a skateboard. Haha.

Candeo Poison Frog over Elixir Lacquers Tricky. Two coats. A swatch of Tricky can be seen here. I suspect they might be made from the same pigment. It was a perfect match.

Candeo Poison Frog and Lynnderella She Lived in a Swamp. I did not expect Poison Frog to be so sheer so I sandwiched She Lived in a Swamp to make it more opaque. Two coats of PF, one coat SLiaS, and then one coat of PF.

Candeo Plumage over Revlon Guest List. One coat.

Candeo Plumage over Sephora by OPI I'm So Sari! One coat. A swatch of I'm So Sari! can be seen here.

Sally Hansen In a Flurry. Three coats. I purchased this one along with Freeze. They are from the same display.

Candeo Old City over In a Flurry. Two coats. Love this one, especially the bar glitters!

Candeo Mallard over A-England Princess Tears. One coat. A swatch of Princess Tears can be seen here.

Candeo Mallard over Cirque Vaudeville. One coat. A swatch of Cirque Vaudeville can be seen here. 

La Femme Esmeralda. Three coats. 

Candeo Mallard over Esmeralda. One coat.

Candeo Joker over Smitten Hydrangea. One coat. A swatch of Hydrangea can be seen here.

I was very impressed with the ones I purchased. It is hard to pick a favorite, but I especially loved Joker, Mallard, Glacier, and Old City. The formula was very good on all of them, except for the sheerness of Poison Frog. I did not have to add thinner to any! Orchid, Sprouse, and Mallard did settle a bit, but nothing a good shaking didn't fix.
