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.

Lynnderella I Can Afford It!



Outdoors in sun:


I haven't posted in awhile, but if you can believe it, I haven't worn nail polish at all since my last post. I had a tragic nail accident with my thumb nail and didn't want to get nail polish remover in the wound. It's pretty much back to normal now though. I should resume posting if the holidays don't get in the way.

Today's manicure is Lynnderella I Can Afford It! (from her recent Funny Money collection) layered over Kleancolor Leaves Jingle. Lynnderella I Can Afford It! is a sheer bright green base with true green hex and square glitter in multiple sizes, small holo glitter, sparse purple hex glitter, and sparse copper square glitter. Leaves Jingle is a green jelly with green glitter.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of Leaves Jingle, two coats of I Can Afford It!, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Glitter Tamer.
I'll need to thin Glitter Tamer as it's a little bubbly and stringy at the moment.

More Revlon layering: Facets of Fuchsia over Fierce


This mani is a Revlon Facets of Fuchsia over Revlon Fierce from the Edgy Elegance foil collection.
Fierce is a magenta/silver foil polish and facets of fuchsia is magenta glitters and hex glitter in a sheer black base.
As with the last Target glitter and Edgy Elegance foil, the coverage/formula on Fierce is great and the glitter in Facets of Fuchsia 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 Fierce, one coat of Facets of Fuchsia, and one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc.
