Lynnderella The Telltale Heart and Color Club Sky High

I babble a lot in this post. Just want to see the picture and get the info? This is two coats of Color Club Sky High with a few coats of Lynnderella The Telltale Heart sponged on top in the attempt to create a gradient. 

I have a love/hate thing going on with this mani. I love the polishes and color combo but I hate how I applied the glitter. I was trying to do a glitter gradient and as you can see, I was much too heavy handed. Live and learn right? I used the makeup sponge technique to get this look. I painted The Telltale Heart directly onto a small piece of makeup sponge and dabbed it onto my nail. After the first layer of glitter dried, I dabbed on some more higher up on my tips to create a gradient. This was one of my first times playing with a Lynnderella so I wasn't expecting how quickly the glitter would become opaque. It was still very cute in person and I got a lot of compliments on them. That always feels good. =)

For those of you who don't know the scoop on Lynnderellas, they are a PITA to get a hold of. You have to fill out a wish list (when the wish list is available) and wait on a rotation to get your order. They are also $15 a pop (OUCH). I was lucky to have my name come up on the rotation when we got our tax return and my husband let me order a bunch. I <3 him. I plan on filling out another wish list when they become available again (mid June perhaps) and saving for the next batch. I think they are one of a kind and worth the hassle but that's just my opinion. ;)

For more information on how to purchase Lynnderellas, "like" Llarowe on Facebook and check out shop.llarowe.com . Llarowe is the only person who sells these beauties. Watch Llarowe's status updates on Facebook to find out when it's time to submit your wishlist. You'll need to send an e-mail to request the form and you'll get directions on how to get on the rotation from there. Man, it sounds like a secret polish society. I feel a little nuts just explaining this process. 

The things we do for pretty sparkly nails yes? lol

Do you have any Lynnderellas? Which one is your favorite? I think Connect the Dots is my personal favorite. Feel free to post pictures on my Facebook page, I want to see! =)

Color Club Wing Fling

Wing Fling is the last polish I have to show you from Color Club's Take Wing collection. It is a vibrant magenta with lots of silver and pink shimmer. It's one of those polishes that looks like it glows from within, it's hard to not stare at it sometimes! The formula was fabulous just like the other polishes in this collection. I used three coats and topped it off with Seche Vite. 

I'm pretty tired right now so I'll keep this short and sweet. I'll be back with some Lynnderella glitter gradients I did with a couple of polishes from this collection. 

Thanks for reading!

Color Club Metamorphosis

It's a good thing I didn't see the bottles before I bought this collection. I had only seen swatches and didn't know about the duochrome tease that is Sky High and Metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a pretty greenish teal glass fleck polish. In the bottle, you can see that it is a multichrome with purple, pink, and blue but like Sky High, you can't really see it on the nail. Bah. This also has silver shimmer in it. Love the polish despite the fact that it doesn't really show it's different colors.  It reminds me a little of Zoya Charla which is one of my all time favorite polishes ever.

Color Club Sky High

It's such a bummer when effects that show in a nail polish bottle don't translate on the nail. This is one of those cases but Sky High is still a beautiful polish. In the bottle, a purple duochrome is visible but don't get too excited, you can barely see it once applied. Despite that bummer, Sky High is a beautiful blue polish. It has a lot of silver shimmer making it's finish a little different than the others in this collection. Do I wish it had a strong purple flash? You know it but I still love it.

Color Club Fly With Me

Green is one of my favorite colors for nail polish. I used to think it was strange to wear green polish before my obsession collection started. I have since crossed over to the dark side and will put any shade and finish on my tips if it strikes my fancy. Glass fleck polishes have quickly become one of my favorite finishes as you know which is why I have enjoyed Color Club's Take Wing collection so much.

I love sporting green on my nails but this shade isn't my favorite. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty, I'm just not a fan of lime green. I don't think I'd even enjoy it on my toes. It would be a lot of fun to use in a water marble or in nail art so I'll keep Fly With Me around. As for a full mani, not so much. You be the judge, this may be right up your ally.

Fly With Me (4 coats)

Despite my not digging the color, the formula was quite lovely. It's just like Daisy Does it and Sparkle and Soar formula wise. It's on the thin side, wipe the excess off of your brush before applying and you shouldn't have any problems with pooling or flooding your cuticles. It dries quickly so putting on four coats didn't take as long as it sounds. If you like the color, you'll love this polish.

I'll be back tomorrow with more from this collection. Have you ordered any yet?

Color Club Sparkle and Soar

Every collection seems to have an orange right now. It's the in color for this summer so it's everywhere. Like yellow, I haven't been fond of orange. I felt that it didn't look good on me and reserved it for October 31. With all of the oranges popping up lately, it's starting to grow on me. I'm still not so sure about yellow but orange has become a color I love! Check it out! 

Sparkle and Soar (3 coats)

Doesn't it remind you of Orange Soda? I love how juicy and sparkly it is, it begs to be taken out in the sun. Love it!

Color Club Daisy Does It

This week I'll be showing you Color Club's Take Wing Collection. Today I'm starting off with Daisy Does It which is a juicy, sparkly, dark yellow that I think everyone should have (and I do not like yellow)! I haven't seen a polish quite like this, have you? 

Daisy Does It (4 coats)

Can we talk about how much I hate the color yellow? It washes me out to the point where I look like I'm dying. I only have two other yellow polishes and they aren't my favorite. This, I'm in love with. It's a darker yellow and the shimmer is to die for in person. A yellow I actually love? This is it!

About the formula, it was fabulous! It is thin but in a good way. It didn't flood my cuticles at all, just make sure you wipe off the brush a little as you bring it out of the bottle. With it being a thinner formula, I did need four coats to make it opaque. It dries fast so I wasn't bothered by needing four coats. Yellows are usually streaky and hard to work with but this went on smoothly. Maybe the fact that it's not a creme is why it worked so well? I highly recommend this! <3 <3 <3!!!

Thanks for reading! I'll be back tomorrow with another gem from this collection.
