Hello darlings!  Today I want to share a gorgeous polish with you that I am super lucky to have swapped for...  This amazing purple and green epicness is Lynnderella Violet was the WILD One.  Lynn describes this as "a complicated mixture of violet, purple, green, black and white glitters with iridescent blue sparks and scattered multiglitter. All in a clear multi-shimmer base with holographic microglitter." 

I have shown one coat over Color Club Disco Dress and China Glaze Def Defying.  I almost always top my Lynns with Dior Gel Coat to smooth the glitter, and this was no exception.  I will say that this mani wore like IRON for me... I can hardly go one day without getting some chips or something, and I think IIRC, that this wore with no chips and minor tip wear for something like 5 days.


I was dying for this polish pretty much as soon as I saw it since its my favorite color combo.  I love the neon green stars, and there are some big holo purple dots in there too.  One of those is shown in one of the macros below.  My favorite thing about Lynn glitters like this is that there can be awesome surprises in them, stuff you didn't see and then you randomly pull something out onto your nail and you're like "WHOA, there are big old holo dots in here?! Who knew!?".  That is so fun to me.



I love that mutli-colored, holographic microglitter!



See the iridescent blue shimmer in the base?  It looks like tiny flakies to me... Soooo pretty!


And here is a macro bottle shot I took when I was playing around with a friend's camera.  Debating on getting a new camera, and his was a point and shoot, but it had a really epic macro setting.  What do you think of that shot?

Since this polish is a limited edition, it is only available from the Lynnderella Ebay Store in an auction style listing.  Prices vary depending on the auction.  Happy bidding if you try to snag this one! :)

Hi guys!  I made it to the last day of Skittle week, without being late or missing any posts!  Wahoo!  Its been months since this has happened.  :)

For the final skittle mani I did another skittlette design.  I used one coat of China Glaze Tongue & Chic on my index and thumb, two coats of Cult Nails Let's Get Dirty on the rest of my nails, and then I stamped the houndstooth design on my middle and ring with Tongue & Chic and the Mash-47 plate.


Then I threw some glitter on my index and pinkie, because, well... why not?!  The glitter is Lynnderella Are You A Good Witch?



Have a look at the other members' final skittle manis!

Hi guys!  Here is my 4th mani for Digit-al Dozen Skittles week!  This mani was composed of the following polishes:

• Pinkie - 1 coat of SH Lickety-Split Lime, 1 coat of Color Club Fly With Me, reverse gradient with Lynnderella Are You A Good Witch? (macro shot at the bottom of the post!)
• Thumb - 2 coats of Zoya Carter

I didn't realize until after getting ready to post this that I used that Mash star stamp more than once this week... Oops!  Guess I really like that one. :)

Hi darlings!  So, this is day 3 of the DD's Skittle week, and I've done a skittlette mani for you today.  this is when you do a skittle but at least two of the nails are the same.

Hi lovelies!  Here we are on Day 2 of Skittle week with the Digit-al Dozen.  I've chosen to do some fall themed skittles for today's art.  I find that for skittles its easiest to write what I've done in list form, so I will do that again today.

• Index - 2 coats Dior Czarina Gold, stamped with China Glaze Cross Iron 360 and Gals GA 38 plate
• Middle - 1 coat Color Club Almost Famous, 1 coat Color Club Daisy Does It, sponged on China Glaze Riveting and Models Own Scarlet Sparkle for the gradient
• Ring - 2 coats Ciaté Cookies & Cream, stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Coco a-go-go and Gals GA 12 plate... after stamping it was a little light so I went back over the lines with a small nail art brush and Coco
• Pinkie - 2 coats Dior Czarina Gold, stamped with Zoya Isla and Mash-50 plate
• Thumb - 2 coats OPI Shim-merry Chic

Phew, that's a lot of different stuff!  I feel like I've used almost every different brand in this mani!  I guess skittles will do that to you...



Don't forget to go see what the other lovely ladies are up to this week!

Hi guys!!  So I have been having a tough time keeping up with these Digit-al Dozen weeks lately due to my second job, but this time I was able to get all my manis done ahead of time!  Our theme this month is Skittles, which means using a mixture of different nail designs or colors in one mani.

The polishes and stamping plates I used in this design are:

• Index - 2 coats Zoya Dovima, 1 coat Lynnderella Devil In A Black Tie (scroll down to the end of the post for a macro of this nail!)
• Middle - 1 coat Cult Nails Nevermore, stamped with Zoya Isla and Mash 49 plate
• Ring - 2 coats Ciaté Mistress, stamped with Zoya Dovima and Gals GA-3 plate
• Pinkie - 3 coats OPI Stay The Night

I really love Lynn's DIABT... I like the mix of matte glitters with the holographic micro-glitter.  I'll definitely need to use that one in another mani soon!

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the group is doing this week!

Hi lovelies!  Today I have swatches of Liquid Sky Lacquer Twilight Rain for you.

Twilight Rain is a dusty purple shimmer with a fine scattered holo glitter in it.  This is the type of scattered holo that feels a little gritty if you don't use top coat, so you will certainly need some if you want it to be smooth.  I've shown two coats with one coat of top coat.  No problems with application.




You can find this polish and other Liquid Sky Lacquers at Norway Nails for 129 NOK each.  Don't forget to use the code SMASHLEY10 to get 10% off your order!

Hi guys!!  I am finally back from our holiday in the US visiting all of our family, and we had so much fun.  I'm glad to be back home with our kitty cats now though.  I hope to quickly get back into the swing of regular blog posting.  I also hope you enjoyed the guest posts I had for you while I was gone!



Today I have a swatch of a really pretty Emily de Molly glitter topper for you!

This is Emily de Molly Rhodium.  This is a mix of silver holographic, charcoal, and lavender glitters in a clear base.  There are some really large silver holo squares which look really awesome.  As with most larger glitters, some fishing is required, but I didn't put too much effort into getting that one on my index finger and thumb.

I really liked this glitter.  It was easy to work with and you can layer it over whatever you want since silver will go with pretty much anything.  The holo pieces were plenty holo, I can totally see myself getting distracted by this polish if I wore it during the day, haha.

I've shown it layered over two coats of Depend Nr. 2076, which is gorgeous but stained like a bitch!  And I used base coat and it was only on for a short period of time for just swatching.  The color is awesome and just glows, but I will definitely be doubling up on the base coat if I use this again.





This and other Emily de Molly polishes are available from Norway Nails.  If you are ordering from NN you can always feel free to use my 10% off code, which is SMASHLEY10.

I hope you enjoyed this mani! I really loved it and enjoyed wearing it! This look is so easy to create and didn't take very long at all!

Thanks for reading and happy polishing! ♥
