My First Fauxnad w/ Savvy Garland and Orly Luxe

 There were a couple of things that I forgot to mention on my previous December Hauls post. I have always been intrigued by fauxnading/konding, but never got around to ordering the plates or stamper. Well, I finally bit the bullet and ordered the Konad stamper and a set of Red Angel plates last month. I actually haven't played around with them much, but I did do a manicure with them the first week I got them. The issue I have with konading/fauxnading is that I get overwhelmed and can never decide on what polish combos to do. I ended up just picking random colors on this one and substituted my stamping polish several times, since the ones I picked initially didn't show up well.

I started off with two coats of Savvy Garland. It's a beautiful dark green shimmer polish that I bought at Sally's last year.

I then stamped over it using Red Angel plate RA-112 with Orly Luxe.

 The particular image I used allowed for mistakes because it was difficult to spot where I messed up unless you were looking closely. I was happy the way it turned out even though I had a few issues with my stamping, but like they say practice makes perfect. ^_^

Lynnderella's Golden Surprise = Change

 Golden Surpise isn't actually the name of this polish, in fact this polish has no name at all. Lynnderella included this polish as an extra gift since the handle on one of my polishes was different. Honestly, I wouldn't have cared nor noticed this, but I was uber excited to have this polish sent to me.

 This polish is similar to Connect the Dots, except that it contains mostly gold glitters. It almost reminds me of Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday, but this polish is a lot more complex. I used Orly Luxe as a base and I think it's the perfect background to compliment all the different colors in this polish.

I don't know if this polish will be available in the future, since this was sent to me as an extra. However, there is great news regarding Lynnderella's Halloweeen Collection. I won't deny that I have been stalking Lynderella's blog every single day, sometimes multiple times, in hopes that she will post the new Halloween Collection. I adore her creations and cannot help myself, but yesterday this stalking paid off! When I opened her page, what do I see?? An update showcasing the names of the nine, yes nine, polishes that will be in her upcoming Halloween Collection!! I was so freaking excited that I literally jumped up and down. This will be my only purchase for the month of August, but really what more could I want?
