Lynnderella - Chocolotta Love

Hi, everyone!

Happy Monday! How was yours? Mine seemed to fly by - which is ALWAYS nice!

I wanted to share with you pictures of my recently-acquired Lynnderella "Chocolotta Love". I got this polish through a swap, since it's next to impossible to buy this one directly from the producer or distributor. 

I have to be honest, I'm very "meh" about this one. As much as I love browns and unique polishes, this doesn't seem like a very practical polish for me. I know that sounds silly, but what I mean, is I don't see myself wearing this for more than one day. I know Lynnderella polishes are very, very hard to find, but I'd be okay if I never owned any more. I know, I know...I'm a minority when it comes to Lynn's!


Here were the base colors I chose to use:

Left to Right: OPI Brisbane Bronze, Espresso Your Style!, Romeo & Joliet, Color Club With Abandon

(2 coats of each)

Now, one coat of Chocolotta Love on top of each of these:

My favorite combo is CL layered over OPI Brisbane Bronze. 

Do you own any Lynnderella's? If so, which ones are your favorites?

Color Club - "Revvvolution"

Hi, everyone! It seems that I only blog on the weekends. Not sure why that is, actually. I've been noticing lately that I've had "naked nails" quite a bit during week. Maybe it's because I'm just too pooped from working all day to take the time to do a full mani, snap decent pictures, then write a post about it. Or maybe I'm just lazy..........
I'll work on it, I promise!


Anywhoooo, I wanted to share with you all some pics of my very first Color Club polish, "Revvvolution". Now I know this polish has been out a couple of years and there are tons and tons of pictures on the internet of it. But I figured, since it's a sunny day today and I've already got it on, why not get some pictures of it?!


I received this beauty last week from my friend Kristin (check out her nail polish blog here) who is in one of the groups I belong to on Facebook. She swapped me this, along with China Glaze "Cosmic" aaaaaand one of her handmade nail polish rings! How sweet was that?! Up until recently, I never wanted to get into swapping. But now, I'm addicted! It's so much fun! I *heart* nail mail!

For some reason, Color Club polish is darned near impossible to find here in St. Louis. I really liked the formula of "Revvvolution", so I'll probably be wanting (needing!) more of these. I was shocked to find out that this polish could easily be a one-coater (BONUS!!!!!). I couldn't believe how opaque it was with one brushstroke. I guess to get more usage out of the bottle, you could layer it over a black polish like OPI's "Black Onyx". I've already got a swap going with someone else to get a back-up bottle of this polish, so I think I'll be set for a while!

Application:

Deborah Lippmann 2 Second Nail Primer

1 coat of Seche Clear Base Coat

2 coats of Color Club "Revvvolution"

1 coat of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Here are a couple of pictures taken indoors, using artificial light:

Drumroll please.....................

Now, the OUTDOOR pictures!!!!!!

This polish is EVERYTHING I've always wanted my "newer version" of OPI's "My Private Jet" to be. Even when I used to layer the Northern Lights Top Coat (by Out The Door) on top of MPJ it still never gave me results like this! And I'm not a huge fan of holos (GASP!), but this made it to my Top 10 List immediately after I put it on. 

So my question for you all: If you have experience with Color Club polish, what is your favorite color? What Color Clubs do you think I should add to my wish list?!


Thanks again, everyone, for taking the time to read my blog post today! I know there are a ton of polish blogs out there, and it means so much to me to know that you took time out of your day to read mine! THANK YOU!
