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!

Glitter Gal Lizard Belly. Two coats.

Deborah Lippmann Believe. Three coats.

Diamond Cosmetics Hue Are You? Two coats. 

Icing Electric Emerald. Four coats.

Kiko 278. Two coats.

Smitten Polish Lovely Lilacs. Three coats.

Estée Lauder Smashed and Chaos Metal Mania polish swatches

Estée Lauder Smashed. Two coats.

Estée Lauder Chaos. Three coats.

Pahlish Sullen Girl over Chaos. One coat.

These are from Estée Lauder's new Metal Mania collection. I picked these up at Nordstrom and I do not believe they are limited edition. The formula was good on both of them.

China Glaze swatches

China Glaze 5 Golden Rings. Five coats. While I liked how this looked, I would probably layer this the next time I wore it.

China Glaze In Awe of Amber. Four coats. The formula was a bit runny and thin. 

China Glaze Mummy May I. Three coats. 

China Glaze Sugar Plums. Two coats. I think my bottle evaporated a little so the formula was a little thick, but nothing a little thinner didn't fix. 

American Apparel Supernova over Sugar Plums. One coat. The glitter looks a bit curly in the bottle but is fine on the nail.

Revlon swatches

Revlon Modern Grace. Two coats. I love periwinkles and this one is no exception.

Sephora by OPI It's Real 18k Gold over Modern Grace. One coat.

Revlon Invitation Only. Three coats. 

Icing Eenie Greenie Miney Mo over Invitation Only. Two coats.

Revlon Not So Blueberry. Three coats. This is one of the scented shades. 

Sephora by OPI Sugar Plum Fairies Gone Wild over Not So Blueberry. One coat.

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.
