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.

Lynnderella Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue over Orly Royal Navy.
Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue is a clear base with blue shimmer loaded with purple hex glitter, silver hex glitter, teal rectangle glitter, blue hex glitter, blue square glitter, and tiny blue glitter. It's pretty freakin awesome and may be my favorite so far (though I really like Gotta Love Brains). I think Lynnderella's glitters that have shimmer in the base are my favorite because it just adds another layer of interest.
You can buy these Lynnderella polishes here: lynnderella-lynnderella.blogspot.
Lynderella posted yesterday that she's opening the shop for another sale next week (the week of Sept 19).
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of Orly Royal Navy, two coats of Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue, and one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc.

Lynnderella Gotta Love Brains

Gotta Love Brains is a milky grey jelly base with purple iridescent shimmer containing large and small silver hex glitter, square silver glitter, two sizes of lavender hex glitter, large salmon hex glitter, silver bar glitter, and blue hex glitter (that's all I spotted). It's a bit like a super awesome take on Lippmann Collection Glitter in the Air on steroids.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of CND Blueberry Whip, two coat of Gotta Love Brains, one coat of Out the Door tc, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.

Ozotic Pro Multichrome 503 Rainforest

Today's manicure is Ozotic 503 Rainforest over black. I would've bundled this post with yesterday's, but I took too many pictures.
Ozotic 503 Rainforest is a multichrome shimmer that shifts:
GREEN


PURPLE

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.

Lynnderella Mercurial

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.

Harry Potter (Slytherin) Themed Franken Collection

Left to Right: Emerald Encrusted Assets, Avada Kedavra, Malfoiled

Left to Right: Crabbe & Goyle's Death Burger Deluxe with Cheese, Nagini, Dead As A Dumble-Dorenail

I made all six of these in one evening. I had been gearing up for frankening and my manglaze franken juggs package arrived on Saturday. My favorite is Emerald Encrusted Assets, though Dead As A Dumble-Dorenail looks better in person (and it's my favorite OPI-esque name). I split the Malfoiled franken between two jugs (because it was super thick. You see, it was perfect until I went and added Green Sparks! mineral pigment from TKB and the franken immediately turned into a gel/paste. DO NOT RECOMMEND these for frankens) and added more clear to the Malfoiled and black to make the Avada Kadavra. I made Nagini by splitting the Dumble-Dore Nail between two jugs and adding NYS Amaranth. Some of these turned out great texture wise, but Malfoiled and the two Vintage Leaf Glitter heavy ones (Dumble-Dore Nail and Nagini) where a gooey bear to work with. All of the following swatches are three coats and topped with Seche Vite. These photos were taken indoors with an artificial light source. Now I have to decide which of these to wear with my Draco Malfoy halloween costume...


Avada Kedavra

1/2 bottle of Wet n Wild Wild Shine Toast
1/6 bottle of Wet n Wild Wild Shine Clear
1/4 bottle of Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme
1/4 tsp Apple Green Pop Pigment from TKB
1/8 tsp MAC pigment in Green Brown
+ some Green Sparks! mineral pigment from TKB
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Crabbe & Goyle's Death Burger Deluxe with Cheese

1 bottle of Wet n Wild Wild Shine Clear
1/2 tsp Martha Stewart Nephrite Glitter
1/2 tsp Martha Stewart Peridot Glitter
1/2 tsp Martha Stewart Sterling Glitter
2/3 bottle of Wet n Wild Wild Shine Confetti
Special Note:
The amount of clear polish I put in this franken means the glitter won't stay suspended and the nephrite glitter bled into the base and turned it black after I took these pictures. I don't know if the glitter would have bled if I had only used Confetti base, but the glitter would probably not sink to the bottom. The glitter did not appear to bleed into the silver foil based polishes I made.
