Lynnderella Sweets To The Sweet

So I really wanted to start my swatching of my new Lynns with I Don’t Mean Rhinestones but, I can't seem to capture the color perfectly with my camera :( I will post it soon though. My friend that was able to get me all my lovely new Lynns requested I swatch of Sweets To The Sweet. So here it is!


Sweets to The Sweets contains translucent white multi-sized hexagons and squares, with scattered yellow, red, purple, turquoise, lime and emerald squares and hexagons in a shimmering translucent white sparkling base. There are also small iridescent green hexagons to sweeten the mix.
 All nails are 2 coats of Sweets to The Sweets over 2 coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu. All have a base coat of Seche Rebuild and a top coat of Seche Vite.
 Normally, I'm not a fan of white polish but I think because this isn't a pure white color and has the mixture of glitters in it is why I like it.
I think not using a opaque white base helped give this color more depth to it. 
 It reminds me a little of funfetti ;)

Lynnderella is currently only selling through her ebay store, which can be found here. 

OPI Don't Touch My Tutu can be found at most major cosmetic retailers still and is from the Ballet Soft Shades collection.You can like OPI on Facebook here.

Elixir Lacquers Bad Kitty + Girly Bits Hippity Hop

Apparently, all I want to do is swatch my indie polish lately!
I decided to do a "jelly sandwich" with Elixir Lacquers Bad Kitty, Girly Bits Hippity Hop and OPI Don't Touch My Tutu  


Bad Kitty is described as a purple-teal duochrome.
All fingers are 4 coats of Bad Kitty over a base coat of Seche Rebuild and no top coat. 
I really love this color. It seems impossible to capture the whole beauty of it with my camera though.
Hippity Hop is described as a multi coloured pastel and holo glitter, and tiny purple glitter, in a translucent sparkling  purple base.
This is 2 coats over Bad Kitty and a thin coat of Seche Vite on top. 
I did have to search around a little for the glitter but, it was very easy to get out. I think it works perfect over Bad Kitty.
OPI Don't Touch My Tutu is a sheer white. It is the perfect option for doing things like "jelly sandwiches" 
This is 2 very thin coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu over the above concoction. I did not apply a top coat on top of this.
Overall, I really like how this turned out but I think it would be something better for spring since it reminds me a lot of easter.
Bad Kitty is unfortunately discontinued, but you can pick up it's "sister" Miss Kitty's Mee-yow (it is said to be slightly more opaque) from Elixir Lacquers here. You can also find Elixir Lacquers on Facebook here and find Nicole's, the creator of Elixir Lacquers, blog here.
Girly Bits can be purchased here. I was lucky enough to win my mini from Let Me See Ur Peacock in June. Girly Bits can also be found on Facebook here and you can also find Pam's, the creator of Girly Bits, blog here 
OPI Don't Touch My Tutu can be found at most major cosmetic retailers still and is from the Ballet Soft Shades collection. You can like OPI on Facebook here. 

Also make sure to check out Let Me See Ur Peacock as she is the awesome blogger I won my Girly Bits and a barielle polish from!

Lynnderella Gotta Love Brains

Despite all of the Lynnderella hate going on I still love her polishes. 
So, in anticipation for my new Lynns that are on the way to me I decided to swatch Gotta Love Brains

I decided to layer it over Cosmetic Arts Gray. I'm not 100% sure of the name as the bottle lists no name. 
The formula was ok, it took 3 coats to achieve this color. I probably could have gotten away with 2 coats but it was kind of splotchy, so I decided to do 3 just to make it look even.
The color is a nice creme gray, the only one like it in my collection, and it works really well underneath Gotta Love Brains.
Gotta Love Brains is described as a sheer neutral grey base with pink shimmer and scattered silver, gunmetal, pink, silver, periwinkle, aqua and lavender squares and multiple-size hexagons.
All fingers are 2 coats of Gotta Love Brains over 3 coats of Cosmetic Arts Gray. All have a base coat of Seche Rebuild and top coat of Seche Vite. 
I love this color and how complex it is. Some people dislike not being able to get an even amount of all the glitters on each nail, I feel that it livens up my nails by not having each nail look the same. 

Cosmetic Arts polish can be found at a variety of places though, I picked up mine at Ross for $1.99.

Lynnderella is currently only selling through her ebay store, which can be found here.

Nail-Venturous Humble Bee

Today I have more indie polish swatches to share :)

The color is described as a yellow glitter and ultrafine and medium size black glitter in a clear base.
Index and ring fingers are 2 coats over OPI Who The Shrek Are You?, middle finger is 1 coat tipped over OPI Who The Shrek Are You? and pinky finger is 3 coats over bare nail. All have a base coat of Seche Rebuild and a top coat of Seche Vite.
I'm not sure how I feel about this color yet. It's not something I normally would see myself wearing, but I figured I would give it a shot.It is very unique to say the least!
It is easy to apply and has a similar application to Nail-Venturous Floam. I didn't have to dig for any pieces whatsoever.

Unfortunately, Nail-Venterous has personally stopped selling her polishes. But, you can pick this color and a few other colors through Ninja Polish here. Make sure to sign up for email updates, as they go quick! You can also follow Ninja Polish on Facebook here. Amy, the creator of Nail-Venterous, can be found on Facebook here and also on her blog here

OPI Who The Shrek Are You? is from the Shrek Forever After collection. It is discontinued but you can pick it up from online retailers like Amazon and most likely find it on Ebay. You can like OPI on Facebook here.

Sonnetarium Never Glow Up

 I am very excited to share my first swatch post with Sonnetarium's Never Glow Up


I love the packaging, it is simple yet professional.
The color is described as a turquoise green jelly with iridescent 
glitter and shimmer. In the dark, it glows a bright aqua blue.
Pinky and ring finger are 2 coats, middle finger is 3 coats and index finger is 2 coats over Sinful Colors Snow Me White. All have a base coat of Seche Rebuild and a top coat of Seche Vite.
Personally, I love this color by itself but it is just as lovely over a white base color.
My absolute favorite thing about it is that it glows blue! And it does so very vibrantly. It glows so bright that it kept me up all night,seriously! I had to tuck my hands under my pillow just so I could get some sleep and stop staring at my nails.;) 


 Michelle is a wonderful lady, she lets her polishes "marinate" for at least 5 months to make sure they will have no problems. And makes sure to test each bottle before it leaves her hands. I had no problem with the constancy, I didn't even have to shake it up before applying it.

Sonnetarium Etsy can be found here and you can like her on Facebook here to get shop updates.

Sinful Colors Snow Me White can be found at most Walgreens and is apart of their core collection.
