NOTD: Urban Decay Miss T & a little bit of Lynnderella Boy Girl Party

Pin It

Hey y'all,

Happy Queen's Birthday weekend New Zealand!!!!

Sadly, getting Monday off doesn't mean too much when you're on Study Break! Two long weekends a year always land on the first day of study break for the mid and end of year exams. Grrr UC, gggrrrrrrrr!

It's nice for all the working peeps though :)

I am wearing a pretty cool mani right now and it's always fun to share what I'm actually wearing in real time than swatches from the vault, so here goes:

Miss T - 2 coats - white light

First off, Miss T is darker and more vibrant in person but after lots of fiddling with the camera, it still washed the heck out it!!! Temptalia has a really great swatch here showing the true colour. I won this in a giveaway from Jenna Froggy at I'm Still Thinking.
Mademoiselle is a gorgeous and vibrant ultra blue toned fuchsia shimmer. It is slightly brush-strokey, but it looked awesome regardless! MT has great pigmentation, needing two coats for good coverage.
I added 1 coat of NYC top coat for these photos.

 Boy Girl Party is a mix of different pinks, blues and red glitters of all shapes and sizes in a slightly pink tinted base. It is a serious party on your nails. I never do tape manis, mainly because I can never find my cellotape!!! I didn't want to cover up all of Miss T because she's so HOT, so I taped off my nails on an angle that didn't quite reach from corner to corner of the free edge (nail tip). Then I painted on one layer of BGP. Lastly, I topped it with 1 layer of Seche Vite and then a coat of Revlon quick dry top coat because the glitter corners still felt rough.

I'm very pleased with the result! It just looks more stylish than a full glitter nail, but I'm thinking I ought to glitter the whole of my ring fingers as an accent!!!!

I love wearing girlie pinks every now and then. I know heaps of you are anti-pink and especially anti-pink glitter, but it feels good to be a quintessential girl! I never wear pink clothing, in fact I think the only pinkish thing I own is a pair of fuchsia suede high heels (which are super high with a closed, curved toe and haute!) - so I feel like my nails can deal with screaming, "I have a v-jay-jay and I'm proud of it!"

Hope your weekends are everything you want them to be!!!

Lynnderella Forget Me Not Layering Requests

Pin It

Hi everyone,

After my last post, I got a few comments wondering what Forget Me Not would look like over different coloured bases; so I thought I'd do a quick post with the old nail wheel.

 On all the nails I put 1 coat of FMN over the base polish.

L-R: China Glaze Lemon Fizz, OPI Alpine Snow, Maybelline Colorama Urban Yellow

I'm not sure how keen I am about FMN over yellow. In the photos it doesn't look too bad, but in person it looked quite dirty. The slightly blue tinted base and pink/purple/blue shimmer didn't look too great.

L-R: Maybelline Colorama Urban Yellow, China Glaze Grape Pop, Depend No. 171

I love how the purple and blue look!! And I've decided that the yellowish glitter just seems to take on the pink/purple/blue sparkle of the shimmer over darker colours. I really couldn't distinguish them, so it's either that or they just look clear?

I hope these have satisfied your curiosity, ladies.

If you ever have any requests, please just ask me in the comments or email me, it's fun to oblige (when I'm not feeling lazy!!!!

Lynnderella Forget Me Not

Pin It

Hey guys,

Is this my first ever Lynnderella post?!

I got 7 Lynn's from Llarowe last month - yes April was a bit of a humongous haul month!!!  And one of them was Forget Me Not! It's also probably my favourite of the bunch, so, so, pretty and it really reminds me of the flower. It just so happens that Forget Me Nots are my favourite wild flower too!!!!

 I layered 1 coat over yesterday's featured polish Revlon Powder Puff. I thought the ice blue shimmer would compliment the periwinkle blue of FMN. And I WAS RIGHT!

Forget Me Not is a beautiful periwinkle blue themed glitter polish. There are 3 sizes of periwinkle hex glitter as well as a smattering of opal-ish medium hex glitter (that looks yellow on a light base, but sparkles different colours over darker bases) and pink/purple fleck shimmer. It's all set in a clear base, so there are endless layering combinations to try!

It applied pretty well. I basically brushed 1 coat on, only dabbed a few bald areas. I topped it of with 1 coat of Seche Vite and Viola! Fantastisch und extrem schoen!!!!

I can't get enough of the gorgeous shimmer in the base! And it goes perfect with Powder Puff.

Do you have any layering recommendations for FMN?
