Lynnderella Candy, Baby?, He Called Her Beauty & Venus In Transit

I can't believe it's already Friday! For me this week sure did fly by. Something great about today, besides that it's Friday? Love Lynnderella has started a new giveaway where one winner will receive LEs Mermaid Magic and She Found Herself Lost! Be sure to enter!

Candy, Baby? has a translucent lavender-pink shimmered base with scattered pink and lavender glitters as well as hot pink hearts. All nails are 2 coats over 2 coats of L'Oreal Lilac Coolers and a top coat of Seche Vite.

I didn't mean for the honeycomb action to happen on my index nail, it was just fate! Nifty looking fate at that. ;) If only there was candy out there filled with glitter and looked this delicious. *sigh* licking your nails is just always frowned upon and never tastes good. Alright someone invent glitter candy! :P 

He Called Her Beauty is a mixture of satin and neon glitters and few medium-to-large hexagons in a multi shimmer base. I layered 2 coats of He Called Her Beauty over 2 coats of Flower Cosmetics Eye of the Tiger Lily and a top coat of Seche Vite.

If this doesn't scream summer, I don't know what does! Some of the neon translucent glitters didn't show up too well over my base colors, but I'm ok with that since all the other glitters really popped! 

Venus In Transit is described as a lot of intense blue-violet glitter with chartreuse and other blue accents. Blue and pink shimmer in a clear base. "She’s the hot girl on the subway rushing home to check her nail mail". For this manicure I started with the green polish from Wet n Wild's Color Wave blue set and added 1 coat of Venus In Transit with a top coat of Seche Vite.

I think we all run home to check our nail mail! ;) Especially if this beauty is included! I love the shimmer in this polish and how the chartreuse glitters really stand out against the blues.

Butter LONDON The Black Knight vs Pure Ice Five-Some/Private Show

I haven't done a comparison in what feels like forever! So today is the day. ;) If you are wondering why I listed the Pure Ice with two names, the reasoning is my bottle has the name Five-Some when it was released last year. Recently they re-released it under the name Private Show. If you are on the hunt for it, I would look for it under it's new name. :)

Both polishes have a black jelly like base with multiple colors of micro glitter. All nails are 2 coats of each polish with no top coat. Can you guess which is which? ;)

Here is again 2 coats but with top coat. Any clue which one costs $1.98 and which one costs $15?

Alright so time to see if you were right! My index and ring nail are Pure Ice Five-some/Private Show and my middle and pinky nail are butter LONDON The Black Knight. 
Can't tell much of a difference can you? Neither could I! Formula was the same on both polishes and both of them required a top coat to smooth them out. Quality wise I can't comment on since nothing lasts on my nails for longer than a day. :P Either way if you have one you don't need the other. ;)

Purchase butter LONDON online or in store at retailers like Ulta, Sephora and Nordstrom. Follow butter LONDON on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Again my bottle of this Pure Ice color was renamed from Five-Some to Private Show if you are looking to purchase it. ;) Pure Ice polishes are available online and at local Walmart stores. Find Pure Ice on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

HARE Polish Rococo Grandeur

Morning everyone! I had planned on doing this post for tomorrow, but I noticed Nikole, the creator of HARE Polish, is restocking the Etsy store today. No better time to show you some pretty HARE Polish than right before a restock. ;)

Rococo Grandeur is a baby blue jelly with soft pink glitter in several shapes and sizes, with gold accents and a blue shimmer. All nails are 3 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite.

As mentioned on Nikole's blog the blue shimmer in this polish is very hard to capture, but it is there! The shimmer really comes to life in the sun, but is harder to see in indoor lighting. Even without the shimmer it's a beautiful, very delicate color! 

Purchase HARE polish through Etsy. The shop will be open today at 1:00 PST! Follow HARE Polish on Facebook, Instagram and Nikole's blog to stay up to date on restocks and new collections.

Lynnderella Pink and Red Went to Bed & The Mermaid's Magic Bag

Hi everyone! This is a quick post while I work on my, hopefully, second larger post for today. ;) If this weather would stop being so nice, I would have more motivation to stay inside and get some swatches done. :P

Pink and Red Went to Bed is described as having a nearly neon pink base with hot pink shimmer, intense blue violet sparks and nearly neon red glitter. All nails are 3 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite.

My camera did a pretty good job of capturing the neon-ness this polish gives off, yay! :) I love it on it's own and all those flakies *swoon*

The Mermaid's Magic Bag is a mixture of turquoise, teal and purple glitters with colour-shifting turquoise to pinkish shimmer. I used 2 coats over 3 coats of the duochrome polish from Wet n Wild's Blue Color Wave set and a top coat of Seche Vite.

I know these pictures aren't quite in focus because my camera freaked out and couldn't handle all this shimmer and amazingness! :P I think this polish would the be the only thing a mermaid would wear! ;)
