Lynnderella Common Sense

So I know there's a new Lynnderella collection out already (Early Halloween Resurrected), but not only have I not purchased it yet, I know that Sweet Somethings for a Summer Solstice is still available for purchase on eBay. So I figured I'd post swatches of it whenever I wear it in case anyone is still undecided on whether to get it or not :)

 Personally, I LOVE the collection. So today I'm going to show you Common Sense over BB Couture's Erotic Night. I did 2 coats of Erotic Night and 1 coat of Common Sense. But here's where it gets weird. This glitter is so dense that on my first finger it went on (my pinky), I over did it. You can see, even though I tried to spread it out, it just was too much that I glopped onto there! So my next nail (ring finger), came out ok and the middle finger, too. Then I thought, maybe just a bit more for my index finger and BAM! Too much again. So, my apologies for the uneven application. I would have taken it off and redone it, but then I thought this would be a good way to warn you guys about how densely packed this glitter is!

 Ok, enough talk, on to the pictures!

But now look at it in the shade!

So, what do you guys think? I think the copper and pink work really well together! More of this collection to come as I wear it. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :D

Lynnderella The Garden of Even

Hello! Today I wanted to show you one of my new favorite combos. Hopefully you'll see why it's a new favorite! For this combo, I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen's Purple Pizzazz with 1 coat of Lynnderella's The Garden of Even over it. This combo sort of reminds me of WnW's Back Alley Deals and Tokidoki's Stellina. Kind of, but this has some extra oomph to it! This was a very, very thirsty glitter. You'll see in the pictures and video that it's not completely smooth even though I did 2 coats of Gelous and 3 of Seche Vite. Regardless, the way this captures the light both indoors and out is just amazing!

Isn't that beautiful?! What have you guys been layering this over? I purchased the Sweet Somethings For A Summer Solstice over the Summer, so I will be featuring the colors over the next few weeks. For anyone interested in purchasing any of the Lynnderellas that will be shown, you can buy from Lynnderella's official eBay store (<---click to see it, Jan and I are in no way affiliated and get nothing for linking you), which is run by her brother. Well, thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful Monday and see you next time!

Indies: HARE The Sky Was Pink polish swatch

HARE The Sky Was Pink. Three coats. I was pleasantly surprised that this was opaque in three coats and the formula was very easy to work with. 

Kiko 229 over The Sky Was Pink. One coat.

HARE polish can be purchased from Nikole's Etsy store or Llarowe. 

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.

Candeo can be purchased from: www.candeocolors.com and also from Llarowe: http://shop.llarowe.com/.

China Glaze Good Witch? revamped

China Glaze Good Witch? Three coats. I purchased the Wizard of Ooh Ahz Collection Returns a few years ago and this was one of the polishes. A huge frosty mess. I decided to spruce it up with some glitter!

OPI Teenage Dream. Two coats. All better! I even like how it looks now.

Avon shimmer swatches

More Avon swatches, but now in the shimmer category. Most of them are kind of frosty though.

Avon Cosmic Blue. Three coats.

Avon Decadence. Three coats.

Avon Gunmetal. Two coats.

Avon Lagoon. Three coats.

Avon Romance. Three coats.

Decadence was the only one I remotely liked and even then it seems pretty dupeable. 

Nails Inc Nail Jewelry swatches

Nails Inc Princess Arcade. Three coats.

Nails Inc Piccadilly Arcade. Three coats.

Nails Inc Royal Arcade. Three coats.

Nails Inc Burlington Arcade. Two coats over black.

Revlon Street Wear Prism over Burlington Arcade. One coat.

More Nails Inc glitters! I can't complain. They all had nice coverage except for Burlington Arcade. These can be found at Sephora.
