Follow the Golden Rules

You know the rules! The Golden Rules! For Halloween, I offer up Lynnderella's Golden Rules, one gorgeous, glittery polish of awesome!  I got this with the $15 off of $30 Copious credit, so win!

So to begin this glittery goldness off, I used 2 coats of Barielle's Gold Digger, a gorgeous ligth gold polish. It has white undertones with light gold and silver micro shimmer in it. This was super easy application! Barielle is slowly moving up there to the top of my polish list!

Now to the awesomeness on top. Lynnderella's Golden Rules from her Summer 2012 collection. This polish has so much going on! Dark gold small and medium hexes, squares, stars (I love stars!), and dot glitter! There's also holo silver diamond glitters too. Most of the other glitters have holoness too! I love this polish! This is 2 coats with some dabbing for the stars and squares. Then with 2 coats of Seche Vite, I was completely satisfied! I give this a 10/10 for glitter and an 7/10 for application! I love Lynn's polish, but I can't really afford $23 a pop. Unless I get them on sale or swap, I probably won't get anymore for now!

The Nocturne of Shadow

It's playing in your head. You know it. That eerie tune you must play to return to the Shadow Temple in Kakariko in Ocarina of Time. The darkness. The purple. Seems a tad Halloweeny yes? Well here it is! Lucky 13 Lacquer's Nocturne of Shadow over Avon's Starry Sky!

This polish was a dream because the purple in it perfectly matched my homecoming dress for Stockton's Osprey Ball! I used 2 coats of Starry Sky and then 2 coats of Nocturne of Shadow. I love it! As you know, I'm a sucker for different shaped glitters, and this one had squares! Again I love squares! There were black and pale purple dots glitters along with dark purple square glitters. This was gorgeous and definitely made me think of the purple glow of spirits in the Spirit Temple. I also used 2 coats of Seche Vite to get rid of any grittiness. Look at the purple glitteriness!

I love this polish! Lucky 13 Lacquer has not ceased to amazing me. It's not too much thicker than other glitter polish, and it's not too difficult to apply. This lady also satisfies my craving for Zelda polish! She even gives you a discount code if you review her polish! That means you can get more ;) I give this mani a 9/10 for glitter and a 8/10 for application. Keep calm and get through the temple!

Frankenstein!!!!

Good afternoon foolish glittery mortals. I have decided to do a design I haven't seen any of my fellow bloggers do this Halloween yet. Frankenstein nails! This mani was inspired by the stitched together parts that make up Frankenstein! 

Let's get this started shall we? I started off with Seche's Ridge Filling Base Coat (cause greens like to stain my little nails!) and 2 coats of Zoya Ivanka, my favorite shimmery dark green! The fill line on this is slowly going down. Darn! Then I pulled out my Sinful Colors Black Striper to make the 'stitches.' This was super easy, but a little harder on my right hand. It's still a little hard for me too use a striper on my right hand, but at least this hand came out pretty good! I give this a 6/10 for glitter and an 8/10 for application. I love my Frankenstein nails! Let me know what you guys can come up with!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink!

Afternoon glittery polish lovers! So it's Wednesday, and in spirit of both Mean Girls and Breast Cancer Awareness, I'm wearing some pink! Zoya Kiki was calling my name, just as HITS MTV Pink Pop was. Why not use them together for a poppin pink mani?

My dears Zoya Kiki! Oh Zoya Kiki. This is my favorite and only shimmery hot pink so far! It is GORGEOUS. It's an uber hot pink (almost neon) with lighter pink undertones and light pink/silver micro shimmer. It even looked like it had some very very light blue undertones in some light! So much going on with this polish! It's slightly duochromy. This is 2 coats. Great formula with no difficulty in application! Then I used my Julep Quick Dry Polish Drops to dry my nails in preparation for the accent nail. I used 2 coats of HITS MTV Pink Pop over Kiki. It smells a little funky and is a bit thick, but there are silver, red, and pink hexes and dot glitter. perfect! Then I topped the whole mani off with a coat of Seche Vite! I give this a 7/10 for glitter and a 9/10 for application! I show my support, will you?

Bride of Franken....Beware!

Oooooo weeeee oooooo! Halloween draws even closer glittery polish lovers! Because of this, I've dipped into a Halloweeny Lynnderella I got a mini bottle of! The girl was selling Lynns in decants so everyone could get a bit of a Lynn at a cheaper price, so I got a mini of Bride of Franken, a ghoulishly gorgeous polish! Here it is over Zoya Indigo! 

I just have to say, that this is most probably my fave Lynn yet! Why must I have a tiny bottle? So for this gorgeous shimmery blue and rainbow galaxy on my nails, I used one thick coat of Zoya Indigo. This polish is a pain to apply, I'll admit, because it dries very fast, but it looks gorgeous! It's a nice blue black with scarce silver micro glitter. After a coat of Seche Vite, I used a generous coat of Bride of Franken, which went on wonderfully well. This polish really glows! 

This polish blew me away. It literally looks like it's glowing on my nails and in the bottle! It has glowing dark blue hex glitter, silver micro glitter, and as Lynn says, rainbow dust! I love this! My nails are an array of glittery glowing night sky goodness! I love this! And with another coat of Seche Vite, I'm sold. Again, I refuse to pay outrageous prices for Lynns, and to get them as minis from people who will pour out decants from a large bottle is the way to go! I give this mani a 9/10 for application and a 10/10 for glitter. This is love. This is glitter. This is glowing. Gorgeous! 

Candy Corn Gradient

Happy Early Glittery Halloween! So for this mani, I wanted to do my own spin on a candy corn mani. What better way to do this than use my little makeup sponge to make a gradient using white, orange, and yellow! This was my first time making a gradient, so it's kinda iffy, but nonetheless, here it is!

To do this, I used 2 coats of Sinful Color Snow Me White and then Courtney Orange and Let's Meet for the gradient. After topping my white with Seche Vite, I put a stripe of orange and yellow on my makeup sponge. I bounced it up and down on paper to blend it, then pressed it to my nail. The orange was a bit thick in some spots, so I didn't like it too much. HOWEVER, I got so many compliments on my nails that I couldn't believe it! Everyone loved them, even though I thought they were not my best. So perhaps it was not the epic fail I thought it was! I give this mani a 2/10 for glitter (there was only some slight shimmer) and an 7/10 for application. I will admit. These nails made me crave candy corn!

A Man Named Seuss

Morning all! Seems like I haven't made a morning post in a while, but when one must do laundry at college, morning is when you have to be up and about! For today, it seems everyone wanted to see Seuss, a great polish that reminds me of the man with the same name! All I can think of is one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish! And the Cat in the Hat as well! So without further ado, here is some Seuss by Whimsical by Pam!

Seuss is a gorgeous polish! This one is very loved by fans of Pam's polishes, and I'm glad I finally got to try it! Seuss is a sky blue jelly base with small red glitter hexes, large silver glitter hexes, and some blue micro glitter throughout. Gorgeous! The formula was also really awesome! I used 3 regular coats of polish to get this opacity. Sometimes the glitter didn't want to come off the brush, but in that case I just dabbed it where I needed it. This was easier to do than Super Hero, and I'm sure it will come off easier too! I love Pam's polishes and am now the proud owner of 3. Her polish looks great, even on my nubs! I give this mani a 8/10 for glitter and a 8/10 for application. It really brings me back to childhood :)
