Lynnderella Is Now on Amazon.com!!!

 *Sent for review*

There is big Lynnderella news on this Lynnderella Friday- Lynnderella has now been approved to sell on Amazon.com! To celebrate this new venture, Lynnderella created three Amazon-exclusive shades, and I have two of them for you today. The three shades are supposed to be like "'nail make up' and made to be used to match or highlight nails' natural shades". Lynnderella Glamazon Glow is a pretty seashell pink shimmer with holographic nanoglitter. It's soft, glowy, and delicate, almost with a pearly shimmer. It's a lovely flattering color on me! 

This is two coats and there is still some VNL, but I think that it goes with the soft delicate look of this polish. It might get a bit more opaque with a third coat, but probably not completely. It was easy to apply and not gritty at all, due to it being more of a shimmer than a glitter polish.

Lynnderella Honey Glamazon is described as a "Warm honey bronze shimmerella with multishimmer and gold holographic nanoglitter highlights". I am always a huge fan of golden bronze glitters, so I am completely in love with this one. It's honey caramel color offers a beautiful burnished glow for your nails. There wasn't much sun the day I swatched these, but this is spectacular in the sun and the holo nanoglitter really pops!

This was two super easy coats. Honey Glamazon is nicely opaque, almost a one-coater. It was great to work with and I had no issues at all.

The third shade in this collection is Glamazon, a beige taupe shimmer with holo nanoglitter. I will probably be purchasing that one, it's really gorgeous! These three shades are only available on Amazon and they are available as a set or individually. For more Lynnderella polish, visit Lynnderella.com or http://stores.ebay.com/lynnderella-lynnderella.

CrowsToes Indian Summer Raindrop Mani!

*Purchased by me*

Hi everyone, happy hump day! I wanted to share a mani I wore over the weekend, I really enjoyed wearing this one. I've been dying to try one of those raindrop manis with a matted multichrome polish and shiny raindrops, and I've also had CrowsToes Indian Summer on my list of polishes to wear for awhile. Indian Summer is a beautiful multichrome that shows colors ranging from a deep indigo, to rich purple, to a red-pink. It's a gorgeous polish and I was very entertained watching it shift in different lighting.

This is two coats of Indian Summer. It was easy to apply, I had a little balding when I went to apply the second coat, but I didn't wait for my first coat to dry completely. I would recommend waiting in between coats. I used OPI Matte Top Coat to mattify it and then dotted Vapid Lacquer QDTC on for the raindrops. I used an old bottle of the Vapid TC and it has thickened up a lot, so the raindrops definitely didn't come out perfectly. I would use a newer TC next time to make those perfect looking drops. Overall, I like the effect though, and it was a fun mani to wear.

CrowsToes Indian Summer will be available when CrowsToes re-opens on Friday, February 10. This is the original version of Indian Summer, but it will now be available in four different finishes- Original, Sparked (scattered holo), Linear Holo (self explanatory) and Bleached Holo (densely packed linear holo). I'll be ordering the Sparked version, it's so pretty with just a touch of holo!

Different Dimension Fatigued

*Purchased by me*

Hope you are all having a great weekend! I am relaxing and buying nail polish this weekend (Vapid restock, Color4Nails restock... too many goodies!!). For your viewing pleasure today, I have a Hella Holo Customs exclusive, Different Dimension Fatigued. This is one of the HHC exclusives for January and you actually still have time to join the group and order this if you love it as much as I do! The last day to order is January 31, so get moving!! Fatigued is a great army green holo with gold flakies and gold holo microglitters. The gold flakies and gold holo glitters are THE best part about this polish. You know when you get a cool linear holo, but it looks so lackluster in low lighting and indoors? Not this baby! The gold flakes really pop in lower lighting and the holo glitters offer a rainbow pop even when you are indoors and nowhere near the sun! I think you can see the flakies and glitter in the picture below.

This is two coats of Different Dimension Fatigued with one layer of top coat. It was pretty easy to apply, although on the first coat I had a little patchiness on one or two nails. Fortunately, that was all covered up with the second coat. I also don't think this formula cooperated well with my current base and top coat (Dr.'s Remedy Basic Base Coat and Vapid Lacquer QDTC). I had serious chipping after about 18 hours of wear. I am going to try again with a different combo of base and top coat, because I'm seriously in love with this color!

Different Dimension Fatigued is only available to members of Hella Holo Customs on Facebook. Head over there now and request to join! You won't regret it!

Lynnderella Friday, Vol. 68!

*Sent for review*

We made it to Friday again! Woohoo!! I have a seriously sparkly new polish to show you today. The stunning Lynnderella Palaver is described as "charcoal holographic nanoglitter with cyan, pink and bright green shimmer". This is a really unique grey holo super fine glitter and the different shimmer colors are visible on different angles and in different lighting situations. The glitter itself has a multidimensional look, it doesn't look like just charcoal glitter. It almost looks like silver glitter mixed with some teeny black flecks. This polish is honestly a lot cooler than my pictures are showing. The holo was so blinding, I think some of the detail of the polish is getting lost. I wore this as a full mani almost immediately after receiving it, it was SO gorgeous!

This is two coats of Palaver with one layer of top coat. It was nearly opaque enough in one coat, so if you do thicker coats, you may be able to get by with one. Since this is nano glitter, it's not that rough or bumpy, but when I wore this as a full mani, I did two layers of top coat. I just really wanted that extra shine. Lynnderella Palaver applied beautifully, very nice consistency.

Lynnderella Palaver is available now at http://stores.ebay.com/lynnderella-lynnderella. More Lynnderella pretties are available at lynnderella.com.

Vapid Lacquer NPX-BPRO

*Purchased by me*

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I spent the weekend trying to recover from the stomach bug that hit me like a bus last week. Now, I normally hate to show you polishes that are no longer readily available for sale, but every once in awhile I just have to break my own rules. Vapid Lacquer NPX-BPRO is so beautiful that I just had to share it with you!! NPX stands for "nail polish experiment" and BPRO is simply blue, purple, red, orange. I can see all of those colors in various lighting and the shiftiness is awesome! The colors I see the most are blue and purple. I saw some pictures with a lot of teal shift, but I only see a tiny flash of teal.

 NPX-BPRO has color-shifting flakies and shimmer. It was easy to apply and was perfectly opaque in just two coats.  It also wore like iron. I wore it for 5 days and had only a little bit of tip wear, no chips. I used Dr.'s Remedy Basic Base Coat (my current favorite) and Vapid Lacquer Quick Dry Top Coat.

The NPX series was just a one-time run, due to some ingredients not being available any longer. However, I have seen it for sale in the Vapid Facebook group, as well as Nearly No Rules. So if you look hard enough, you may be able to snag one!

Vapid will be launching some new pretties this Saturday (January 28), so check out http://vapid.mybigcommerce.com for more Vapid goodies.

Lynnderella Friday, Vol. 67!

 *Sent for review*

Happy Friday!! This is actually the first Lynnderella Friday of the new year, I had some post office delays that resulted in the Lynnderella packages coming a bit late. But I have a gorgeous Valentine's Day Lynn for you today called Lynnderella Cupid Sent Me. Cupid Sent Me is an orchid pink holo microglitter with holo pink hearts in assorted sizes and shades of pink. It's perfect for a little pop of pink Valentine's cheer. Love all the rainbow-y holo-ness!!

This is two easy coats. I didn't have to fish around for the hearts, but I can see smaller hearts in there and didn't get any of those this go round. Hopefully they come out to play next time I wear this. It was easy to apply. I did use two layers of top coat for glassy smoothness.

Lynnderella Cupid Sent Me. is available at http://stores.ebay.com/lynnderella-lynnderella. Check out lynnderella.com for more gorgeous polish!

Sally Hansen Moisture Rehab Strengthener Review!

*Sent for review*

I am really excited about the product I have to tell you about today! This treatment gave me visible results after just 2 weeks of use. This miracle treatment is the new Sally Hansen Moisture Rehab. Sally Hansen has always had good nail treatments, but I think this is the best one yet for my nails. My nails get extremely dry and brittle, especially in the winter, and then the dryness leads straight to peeling and breaking. Sally Hansen Moisture Rehab takes aim at that exact problem, drenching your nails in moisture to prevent brittle, dry, breaking nails. According to Sally Hansen, the formula contains a "blend of black orchid, açai and algae actives and humectants" and  "helps hydrate and rejuvenate severely dry or weak nails". 

I have been using Moisture Rehab for about 3 weeks total now, and after the first 2 weeks, I was sold. My nails are typically really short at this time of the year, thanks to the cold temperatures and tons of hand washing. But thanks to Moisture Rehab, I have managed to maintain a nice length for the past 3 weeks! And aside from the length, my peelies are drastically reduced and my nails just look and feel better. I have been applying this at night, even over polish. If I have bare nails, I will also apply it several times during the day. I apply a good amount to each nail, let it soak in for a minute, and then massage the rest into my nails. It really sinks in and provides immediate relief to my dry nails. I would highly recommend Moisture Rehab to anyone with dry, brittle nails!

Sally Hansen Moisture Rehab should be available in a drugstore near you now! For more Sally Hansen products, check out http://www.sallyhansen.com.
