Soundwave and Mermaids Scales.

Hey guys, this is going to be big post today because I am so bored and want to make this as long as possible to pass my boredom.

On Friday I went to Soundwave Festival. For those you who don't know, Soundwave is a giant metal, rock and punk festival that happens every year in all the major cities of Oz. I love it. I go every year. It's always heaps of fun and a great way to find out about awesome international bands. And I found a gem this year. They are called Kverlertak, a Norwegian band. They are a cool mix of rock and roll, punk and black metal. They really wail. They sing in Norwegian as well so I have no idea what they are saying, but apparently they sing lots about the Norse gods. I saw ton of other bands too: A Day To Remember, always good, letlive, Four Year Strong, Your Demise, Limp Bizikit who were surprisingly good, and System of a Down. I cannot tell you how amazing SOAD are as a live band. They're vocals are insane. It was great day and to mark it special I did a little skittle mani. Unfortunately I only took shitty quality photos of it, so I am sorry for that but I'm sure you get the idea.

I used nine colours and mixed colours for two nails (The green ones because I do't have much green). I also toped it off with Lynnderella Connect the Dots. T'was great, when I put my hand in the air in the mosh, the people behind me would get a face full of colour!


Anywho, onto the real reason I have this blog. I've had this idea for a while now. Ever since I saw Glitta Gloves post, I have wanted to recreate it somehow.  This is one coat of Orly Lucky Duck followed by a coat of Color Club Holiday Splendor and a coat of Kleancolor Chucky Holo Bluebell.

The Chucky Holo flakies are very subtle in these photo but they were more predominate IRL. And unfortunately, we have't had a sunny day since Friday so I wasn't able to take photos with the holo goodness that Holiday Splendor provides.

But it's nice a glow-y, right!?

I love how it has sort of a golden glow. To me, this manicure reminds me of a sunset reflecting on the waters of a tropical island.

Am I right? Aww man I so wanna go to Bora Bora now!

Connect the Dots.

I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEE this polish so much. This was a lemming for a good six months and I never thought I'd get my hands on it because Lynn doesn't ship outside the US. Thankfully, us international ladies have Llarowe. I tried this over Zoya Areej. Areej is a smooth smokey pink creme, a perfect base for Connect the Dots.

When I was wishing for this polish and stalking other sites to see their layring combination, I didn't really like the little shimmer that's in. I liked the stark contrasting look of the white and black glitter, and the white shimmer sort of took that away. But the shimmer looks more noticeable in the photos. It's very subtle in read life. I much like it on my fingertips. It's a perfect polish to spice up an old creme manicure.

 

Also Areej is one hard polish to capture. My camera makes this polish look very bubble gum pink, which is just not. Its a nice dark smokey magenta.

I have so many idea for CtD. I'm thinking a creme ombre with CtD layered over it, and a bright skittle mani and CtD. Oh! I need a light grey to under this now. The possibilities are endless. Thank you Lynnderella!

The Lynnderella's Arrived!

My very first Lynnderella post. I've wanted Snow Angel for agggggeeeessss. It's the most beautiful white ever! I bought this off Llarowe a week before Xmas and they arrived yesterday. Only took three weeks to here from USA, really quick considering I ordered it during the busiest time of year. So lets see shall we? This is 2 coats of Orly Au Champagne and one coat of Snow Angel.

 This is such a beautiful polish. It does, however, go on very lumpy. I used 2 coats of Seche Vite and its still very gritty. This polish is best layered over something else. I think it would take 3 or 4 coats to get full opacity, and like I said, this is lumpy polish. But look... its so PERFECT.

It's so frosty. I think the reason I love this polish so much is because it give a lot of depth to what is a shallow boring colour. It's just so pretty. (Please excuse my lobster fingers. I took these after coming home from a long walk.)

You know this was make a wonderful wedding day mani or pedi. I'll probs wear a bright red  to match my lipstick on my wedding day... in the very distant future. VERY DISTANT! Hahaha! My Kleancolour Chucky Holos arrived too. What do you want to see tomorrow? More Lynn or Chucky Holo Layers?
