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 Fall 2012 Fall of Surprises collection polish swatches

Finger Paints Fall-ing For You. Three coats. A bit on the frosty side. I had to be careful with brushstrokes.

Nicole by OPI Nicole...Spotted! Two coats. Fail. I loathe how this looks. I'm having trouble finding other colors that this looks nice over besides black or near blacks.

Finger Paints Be-Leaf it or Not! Three coats. This one is also a bit frosty.

Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular! One coat.

I also picked up the purple one, Plum Startled, but haven't edited pictures. I've been crazy busy lately which is also why I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. I will post them as soon as I can and update this post with a link.

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/.

Indies: Smitten Polish, Pahish, and Candeo swatches

Smitten Aquarius. Three coats. Very nice formula.

Pahlish Prayers for Rain over Aquarius. One coat.

Smitten Hydrangea. Three coats. I love periwinkle shades! Great formula as well.

Candeo Joker over Hydrangea. One coat.

These are my first two Smitten polishes and they did not disappoint. I was impressed with how nice the formula was (as I am a bit finicky when it comes to how thin I like my polishes) and I adore the colors and glitter combinations. 

Candeo can be purchased from www.candeocolors.com.
Pahlish can be purchased from www.etsy.com/shop/pahlish.
Smitten can be purchased from www.smittenpolish.com.

Sephora by OPI Indian Summer 2012 collection swatches

Sephora by OPI Henna-thing is Possible. Three coats.

OPI Movin' Out over Henna-thing is Possible. One coat.

Sephora by OPI I'm So Sari! Three coats. I love this one!

Candeo Plumage over I'm So Sari! One coat.

Sephora by OPI Looks Like Rain, Dear. Three coats.

Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me over Looks Like Rain, Dear. Two coats. I found the glitter pretty sparse.

Sephora by OPI Seriously, It's a Naan-Issue. Two coats.

The other two from the collection that I do not have are What Aura Gonna Wear? and Paisley Attention To Me. No formula issues with any of them.

Indies: Pahlish polish swatches

Pahlish Train Underwater. Three coats.

Finger Paints Motley over Train Underwater. One coat. I like the green that this added.

Pahlish Sitting in a Tin Can. Three coats.

Icing Mr Right Now. Two coats.

Pahlish Toxic and Timeless over Mr Right Now. Two coats.

Pahlish Toxic and Timeless over Milani Fresh Teal. Two coats of each.

Illamasqua Swinger. Two coats.

Pahlish Sunlight Shooting Through Pine Trees over Swinger. Three coats.

One coat of Sunlight Shooting Through Pine Trees over two coats of OPI Fly. This one reminds me of Chanel Illusion D'Or without the blue glitter. This is one of her underrated polishes yet one of my favorites. Sadly, it has been discontinued.

Pahlish Glittoris. Two coats.

Pahlish Total Eclipse of the Heart over Glittoris. One coat.

Total Eclipse of the Heart. Three coats, but I dabbed to get the glitters where I wanted them afterwards.

Old version of Pahlish Total Eclipse of the Heart. Two coats. This one had curly red bar glitter so it was reformulated. I like it too much to get rid of it, curly glitter and all. 

Nails Inc Princes Arcade over Total Eclipse of the Heart. One coat.

Pahlish Bixby Canyon Bridge. Two coats. This is like a upgraded version of Deborah Lippmann Superstar. This has also been discontinued. 

Sephora by OPI Don't Be Eggnog-ious over Bixby Canyon Bridge. One coat.

Pahlish Endless Static Sea over Orly After Party. One coat. I've posted this one before and you can see the Orly alone here.

Pahlish polishes can be found at her Etsy store: www.etsy.com/shop/pahlish
