Riveting is a fiery red-orange macroshimmer with gold flash, similar to an old China Glaze release, Orange-Pacific. Electrify is a mixture of gold glitter and chunkier red glitter in a clear base.
Have you gotten tickets for the midnight show yet?
This manicure is one coat of SpaRitual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat of CND Stickey bc, one coat of Riveting (two on the middle finger), one coat of Electrify (on all fingers except the middle), and one coat of Seche Vite.

Lynnderella Sweets to the Sweet

Indoors in artificial lighting:


Outdoors in full sun:

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Sweets to the Sweet over NARS Rouge Andalou. Sweets to the Sweet is a sheer white base with white square glitter, sheer white square and hex glitter, red, purple, blue, and iridescent green glitters of various shapes and sizes. The glitter in this one is a bit sparse. The candy vibe I got from the bottle led me to pair it with a shiny candy apple red base (Rouge Andalou aka Red Dog).
This manicure is one coat of SpaRitual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat of CND Stickey bc, two coats of Rouge Andalou, three coats of Sweets to the Sweet, and one coat of Seche Vite.

Lynnderella Boy-Girl Party

Indoors in artificial light:


Outdoors in full sun:

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Boy-Girl Party over Butter London The Black Knight. Boy-Girl Party is a dense glitter bomb of red, blue, pink, turquoise multi-sized square and bar glitters with holo diamond glitters in a almost clear, pinkish base.
The Black Knight is a sheerish black base loaded with red, blue, pink, and gold fine glitter.

This combo was someone else's suggestion. They complement each other well as the have the same glitter color palette and the black is a good canvas to showcase the color play.
This manicure is one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of The Black Knight, one coat of Boy-Girl Party, and two coats of Seche Vite.

Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby



Outdoors in full sun:

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby over Rescue Beauty Lounge Chinoise.
Chinoise is a one coat true red creme. Ruby Red Ruby is a pinkish/sheer red jelly base loaded with a bunch of sizes of red metallic square and hex glitters. It's got a bit of a golden fire, but is pretty straight forward for a lynnderella. It's very difficult to photograph. Cameras tend to be not so great with red. It was originally released in Lynnderella's First Edition, but I bought it (in the new fatter bottle) during one of the halloween sales.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of Chinoise, two coats of Ruby Red Ruby, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Seche Vite.

This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of Illamasqua Boosh (black creme), one coat of 503, and one coat of Seche Vite tc.
These pictures were all taken outdoors in full sun (except where indicated).
Please forgive the tipwear and cuticles; I didn't have a chance to take pics for the first two days of wear...
