Lynnderella Bee a Dear, Granny Smith Granny Panties, Mystery Man, Primal Dream and The Adam of Her Eye

Hi there everyone! Back for round 2 of celebrating Atlcatsmeow's birthday week! :) If you haven't already, make sure to wish her a happy early birthday and enter her super-duper awesome giveaway! :)

Bee a Dear  is a mixture of various yellow, black, white and holographic gold glitters accented with tiny neon pink squares in a yellow-shimmered yellow jelly base. Shown is 1 coat over 4 coats of Granny Smith Granny Panties.
Love the yellow base in this polish! I like how it really changed up the true color of Granny Smith Granny Panties. When I first put it on I thought it really "soured" up Granny Smith Granny Panties, but writing "sour" and "granny panties" in the same sentence seems really....odd. >_< Hehe
Granny Smith Granny Panties is a warm, yellow-green creme with green and pink shimmer. All nails are 4 coats with top coat.
This polish looks super yummy! I'm going to refrain from using the name again because again I don't know how well the name and "delicious" go together in a sentence without things getting weird. :P The pink shimmer adds a nice spark to this already great color, even though my camera didn't want to pick it up. >_< The camera I use for close ups caught the shimmer though. :)
Mystery Man is made with purple and green microglitter in a lilac and green shimmered, translucent base. These photos are 2 coats with top coat.
It's definitely not a mystery, this polish is amazing! I wish my camera could capture all the beauty Mystery Man has to offer, but I hope I did it a little justice. :)
Primal Dream contains red, magenta, cyan and two shades of yellow glitter in a white-shimmered clear base. For this manicure I used 1 coat of Primal Dream over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Pixel Pink.
I'm always a fan of bright colors and for that reason Primal Dream, is a dream polish! :) But really how can anyone resist a bottle of polish that is filled with a bright, rainbow assortment of colors? :P
The Adam of Her Eye has assorted shades and finishes of red and burgundy accented with iridescent green in a translucent yellow green shimmered clear base. All nails are 1 coat over 2 coats of Mystery Man.
Shimmer and glitter, oh my! When combined, the shimmer from both polishes is intense and amazing. Also, the red and burgundy glitters in The Adam of Her Eye go perfectly with the purple and green color of Mystery Man. :) Together they are a force to be reckoned with. ;)

Salon Perfect Studio FX Holographic Nail Lacquer Swatches

Back again for another post today! :) I picked up these polishes last week at Walmart and if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you saw I posted quick nail wheel shots of them. Now most of these are in fact dupes for polishes in China Glaze's Hologlam collection, with the exception of Green Room and Spot Light. Salon Perfect is produced by the same company as China Glaze, except Salon Perfect's polishes lack the "hardeners" found in China Glaze products. I have a comparison post planned for tomorrow showing the Hologlam versus this collection, so stay tuned. ;)
All the swatches shown are 3 coats with no top coat.

Fade Out is a gunmetal gray.

Green Room is a dark green holographic polish.

Leading Lady is maroon shade.

Pixel Pink is a soft, light pink.

Silver Screen is a silver metal colored holographic polish.

 Spot Light is champagne, gold shade.

Starlet is deep, navy blue.

There all have the same holographic finish and formula as China Glaze's Holograms. The finish is not a strong holo like indies out there, but I don't think it's terrible. The formula can be tricky if you have a lot of ridges in your nails, if you do I would stick to an aqua base coat. Also, make sure to let each coat dry throughly before apply the next or you will experience bald spots. 


Salon Perfect Lacquers are sold exclusively at Walmart. These are a tad more expensive than their core line, costing $5.98 each. Find Salon Perfect on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest.   

Lynnderella Berry Much in Love, Elf Assured, Mrs. Shaperson, Mercurial & So Long Longing

Happy Labor day any readers in states! :) I thought it would be fun this week to try to do a Lynnderella post every day leading up to Atlcatsmeow's birthday! :) We both share a love for Lynnderella lacquers, so I'm giving it a go starting today! ;)

Berry Much in Love has assorted shades of red and pink glitters accented with yellow seeds as well as green stars all in a translucent strawberry-juice base. Here is 1 coat of Berry Much in Love over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Silver Screen.
 This polish looks just like some yummy strawberries! I chose to layer it over a lighter color, so you could really see all the glitter pop. I think it would look amazing over or between a jelly polish too, to give it that all over squishy vibe. :P
Elf Assured has black, white, pink and almost-neon red matte glitters with metallic and holographic aqua in a white-shimmer base.  All nails are 1 coat over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Fade Out.
 I'm a firm believer that polishes are never just for one season of the year. ;) And this is no exception! I personally think Elf Assured doesn't have too "elfy" of a vibe and looks great even in September. :)
Mrs. Shaperson contains tons of fun glitter shapes including skulls, clubs, hearts, stars, diamonds, dots, flowers, squares, bars, rectangles and hexagons. Shown is 2 coats over 2 coats of Color Club Silver Lake.
Ahhh skulls and club?! How awesome is that! :D I won't lie though, when I first saw the skulls, I thought they were 4 legged octopi. Hehe :P Hey I'm sure there are in fact 4 legged octopi somewhere out there. ;) 
Mercurial has multiple sizes and shades of gunmetal, black, lavender and silver hexes and squares in a metallic grey base. In these photos I used 1 coat of Mercurial over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Starlet.
 Maybe it's me (it probably is don't worry ;) ), but I never noticed the lavender hexes in this polish before! >_< I've looked at my bottle and seen other's swatches and I don't know for whatever reason it never clicked in my mind they were there.  They were a nice surprise when I put it on though! The larger hex glitters are always fabulous too. ;)
So Long Longing contains brilliant blue-violet glitters accented with neons and holographic dots in a translucent pink-shimmered blue base. All nails are 1 coat over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Leading Lady. 
I wish my camera would caught the "glow" this manicure gave off :( because it was awesome! Nevertheless, this polish is stunning in person and a must have! ;)
