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.

Lynnderella Mysterious Ways

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Mysterious Ways over Cult Nails My Kind of Cool Aid. My Kind of Cool Aid is also a greyed purple, but it is a much more saturated hue. Here's my post on Cool Aid: Cult Nails My Kind of Cool Aid.
Mysterious Ways is, in my opinion, one of the shades that Lynnderella does best. It's an ethereal, pale, fascinating lacquer in the vein of Gotta Love Brains and Snow Angel. I love these because I feel like they're something that nobody else does (with the exception of the incredibly lame but cool in the bottle Lippmann Glitter in the Air). Mysterious Ways is a smoky grey slightly lavender tinged sheer base with holo glitter, hex, and square glitters and white, silver, and gunmetal glitters. I included my cloudy and sun pics, since the only thing the overcast weather obscured was the holo, and I thought moody whether suited this polish.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of My Kind of Cool Aid, two coats of Mysterious Ways, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Seche Vite.

Lynnderella Attitude Adjust-mint

Outdoors in full sun:

Today's manicure is Lynnderella Attitude Adjust-mint over Chanel Jade. This is a tonally matched mani. Here's my post on Jade from a few years back: Chanel Jade. There are many dupes just a google search away.
Attitude Adjust-mint is a sheer mint green base with iridescent and soft green glitter and hex and lovely pale green shimmer. I took all of my pictures in the overcast outdoors (because it's supposed to be cloudy all weekend), and when I finished editing them (and thinking about how crappy they looked without sun to expose the shimmery iridescence of this polish) the sun popped out. I ran outside and did it all over again. These look MUCH better.
This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, two coats of Chanel Jade, two coats of Attitude Adjust-mint, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Seche Vite.
I emailed Lynn and asked her if Attitude Adjust-mint is the same formula as Minty McMintface and this was her response:
"No, AAM is much different. I used Minty McMintface for a few different things and didn't want to use it again since I had been all over the place with it. In keeping with the theme of prosperity consciousness for the Funny Money Collection, the AAM worked better."

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 Thank Blue

This mani is one coat Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock bc, one coat CND Stickey bc, one coat of Winter Sky, two coats of Thank Blue, one coat of Revlon Quick Dry tc, and one coat of Glitter Tamer.

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.
