Neon Skittles Mani with Lynnderella Connect the Dots

 Connect the Dots is a really versatile glitter that will go well with any shade of polish, which is why I had originally planned to do several mani's with different colors. However, when I brought out the colors I was planning to use, it occurred to me that it would be a lot more fun if I did a Skittles mani. I have never done one and wasn't sure what colors to start with, so I went with five polishes from Color Club's Poptastic Collection. I used Wham Pow! for the pinky, Pucci-Licious for the ring finger, Twiggie for the middle finger, Warhol for my index and Chelsea Girl for my thumb topped with one coat of Connect the Dots.

 I think Connect the Dots was a great glitter to tie the look together, without covering up the base colors. I won't talk much about this polish, since I have previously blogged about it here, but oh man is this literally the greatest glitter ever made. I am really excited that Lynnderella has decided to restock this one along with The Glittering Crowd and Snow Angel, because I just might have to pick up a few more bottles of this incredible glitter.  This is her website http://lynnderella-lynnderella.blogspot.com/, she will update it as soon as she is ready to start taking orders. I would start practicing on your clicking skills now, if you are at all interested in her creations, since these polishes are sure to sell out FAST!

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?

Kickoff to Lynnderella's Week with Mercurial

 I am super excited to be doing Lynnderella Week and since I have seven of her polishes to show you, I am having to start on Sunday. I have to say that my favorite type of nail polishes are the ones with glitter. I absolutely adore them and cannot get enough of them. That being said, there is no mystery as to why I am in love with Lynderella's Creations.  Each one of her polishes is as unique as the next and they truly have no equal.

 To kickoff Lynnderella's Week, I have decided to spotlight on Mercurial. Above, I swatched this polish on an index card because I feel that the details of this polish is best seen this way. As you can see, there are many different shapes and sizes glitter. There are small, medium and large silver hexagons, small lilac hexagons, and small silver squares all mixed in a silver microglitter base with a hint of gray. This polish is almost jellyish except that it doesn't transfer like that on the nail. There's just enough amount of gray tint in this polish to create full coverage with two to three coats, depending on application. When I first wore this polish, I did three coats, but in my opinion the best way to wear this polish is with a black base. There is so much glitter in this polish, that if you attempt to use it alone, you will end up with a thick manicure.

This is semi-shade. There is one lonely large hex glitter on my middle finger. The polish doesn't have too many large hex glitters, but I think it works best that way. Too much large glitters would only take away from the effect of this polish.

 Before I knew about the danger of mercury, I used to break thermometers and dump the mercury in a plastic bottle cap and just pick at it with a toothpick. I was so amazed by it and loved seeing it separate. This polish has that same consistency. Some people might find this a little thick, but I enjoyed applying it because it took me back to my mercury loving days. I don't know why this is named Mercurial because other than the consistency, the polish itself reminds me more of outer space. It just has that "out of this world" look and looking at it makes me want to watch Nova! (Nova is show about everything space related and it airs on KERA.)

*Currently Lynnderella has post-poned her fall collection indefinitely, and her shop is closed at the moment. However, you can follow here here to make sure you don't miss the update when she reopens her shop.
