Glitter Gal 10 to Midnight

Today's manicure is Glitter Gal 10 to Midnight. 10 to Midnight is a silvery grey base with linear holographic particles. Indoors it looks like a gunmetal grey shimmer, but outdoors in the sunlight the holo shows up like so:





This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of 10 to Midnight, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.

Lynnderella One Nutty Fruitcake

Outdoors in full sun:

Today's manicure is Lynnderella One Nutty Fruitcake over Illamasqua Boosh.
Boosh is a black creme. One Nutty Fruitcake is a clear base with fuchsia, green, red, purple, teal, yellow, orange, and black hex and square and some fine glitters
One Nutty Fruitcake is one of the two Holiday Houseguests in the Funny Money collection. It's a bit subtle and mysterious over black. It reminds me of the 80s somehow. Someone else recently told me it reminded them of New Years.

Lynnderella Mercury's Rainbow

Outdoors in Sun:

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Mercury's Rainbow (it is not really a part of any of her collections, but a really cool bonus/ one-off) layered over OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous (from the OPI Swiss collection).
Lynnderella Mercury's Rainbow is a smoky grey sheer base with silver holo glitter and dense gunmetal silver holographic hex (I feel the polish has a bit of a purple tone).
OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous is a gunmetal silver polish with silver sparkles.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous, two coats of Mercury's Rainbow, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Seche Vite.

Lynnderella Change

Outdoors in sun:

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Change (from her recent Funny Money collection) layered over OPI Sonata in Bronze (an old polish from the OPI Holiday in Harmony collection).
Lynnderella Change is a clear base with gold and holo glitter, gold, silver, and copper square and hex glitter in various sizes, with some red and green accent glitters. This seems a bit more sparse (with bigger chunks) than the last two Funny Money polishes I tried (Thank Blue and I Can Afford It!).
OPI Sonata in Bronze is a frosty copper with some golden shimmer.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of Sonata in Bronze, two coats of Change, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Seche Vite.

Revlon layering: Starry Pink over Girly

This mani is a Revlon Starry Pink over Revlon Girly from the Edgy Elegance foil collection.
Girly is a pale pinkish lavender/silver foil polish and starry pink is whitish silver glitters and hex glitter in pale pinkish lavender base.
The coverage/formula on Girly is great. The glitter in Starry Pink is a little bit dull and one-note, especially after working with Lynderellas...
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of Girly, one coat of Starry Pink, and one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc.

Tony Moly GT03 Mars

This mani is Tony Moly GT03 from the Galaxy Collection. As previously stated, Tony Moly is a Korean brand (not distributed in the US as far as I know). I ordered the whole collection on eBay for $10 a bottle. This is a brown jelly base loaded with red, orange, purple, and small gold hex glitter.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of polish, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.
These pictures were taken indoors with artificial light.


Because of the brown jelly base and metallic glitter, I thought of Lippmann Superstar and decided to do a comparison...

Lynnderella's The Glittering Crowd

Today's mani is the last of the three Lynnderella first editions that I ordered, The Glittering Crowd. I had a NARS Purple Rain mani from my friend's wedding yesterday that I layered one coat of Glittering Crowd over.
Sorry the pics are not the best ever. I am sick and trying to take it easy, but I really wanted to try this and share it before I get Lynderella's Halloween collection.
In case you're living under a rock or without a makeupalley, please check out the Halloween Collection here:
lynnderella-lynnderella.blogspot.com.
I ordered all 9 and I think they look amazing. She will be resuming the sale Friday, August 19 @ 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific.
The Glittering Crowd is intense. It is a vast collection of glitters in all shapes, sizes, and colors in a clear base. I'm fairly confident I cannot possibly identify them all. I know there are at least three sizes of hex glitters, two sizes of square glitters, bar glitter, mini glitter, and more...
Okay, I just checked Lynnderella's blog and here's what she says:
"New batch has over 100 different multi-coloured hexagon, square and bar glitters in various sizes. Royal blue, chartreuse, red,
violet, holographic silver, orange, lime, emerald, teal, cyan, gold, pink, aqua, fuchsia"
This polish is available again along with the Halloween collection.
It is so much better than Lippmann Collection Happy Birthday and all it's various imitators because of it's diversity. Literally every nail I painted looks completely different and it is impossible to predict what will come out of the bottle when you are painting your nails. As someone who has a lot of nail polish (and may be slightly jaded), I find the novelty of this exciting.

Lynnderella Mercurial

w flash:

Today's mani is Lynnderella Mercurial. I put it on for my friend's bachelorette party.
Mercurial is a blackened silver shimmer jelly-ish base filled with small and large silver hex glitters, large square silver glitter, and small lilac hex glitters. It is so variable (or mercurial) that it almost looks better indoors, since the complexity can get lost in the glare of the sun.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of mercurial, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.
All these photos were taken indoors with natural and artificial light.
