Lynnderella She Lived in a Swamp and Ozotic 507

Hello everyone. So sorry to have ignored my blog for so long, but I am back. I thought I would do a short post to show you some pretty polishes that had been sitting in my untried pile. I paired Ozotic 507 with Lynnderella She Lived in a Swamp to wear for St. Patrick's day. Yes, that was a while ago but anyway. I used two coats of 507 which is a gorgeous multi chrome. It shifts from gold, to green to almost blue at certain angles. SLiaS is a clear base packed with chartreuse hex and bar glitter, light green and dark green hex glitter of varying sizes. The dark green glitters are rather sparse. I didn't have any issues with application. I found it was best to dab the glitter on and then spread it around. I didn't take any pictures of 507 by itself. I'll have to do that on another post.
Take a look:

The golden shift in 507 really shows in these sunlight shots.

You can really see the different colors of glitter in these last two pics. Like I said the darker green glitter is very sparse and small. I think I managed to get a large green hex on my other hand.

Well, what did you think. Pretty cute and blingy for St. Patricks Day right? Ozotics can be purchased at several retailers like Harlow &Co, Ninja Polish and Llarowe which is where I got mine. Lynnderella is only available through Llarowe. It's best to check her website and Facebook page for updates on when and how she is taking orders for Lynnderella polishes.

Thanks for taking a look.

NerdLacquer Batcave

Happy Sunday Everyone! Today I have NerdLacquer Batcave. I had to get up pretty early to get this pretty, but I got it! It was well worth the trouble. Batcave is a charcoal black base with tons of silver shimmer, blue, purple and holographic hex glitter plus black square glitter. The pictures below are two coats of Batcave, one coat of gelous and one coat of topcoat. I tried Poshe topcoat for the first time. I thought it dried just as fast and shiny as Seche Vite. May switch to this since it does not contain Toluene. Anyways on with the pics...

You can see some of the square black  glitter in this pic. With the dark base it can be hard to see them.

Love the holographic sparkles.

Batcave is one shade in a NerdLacquer trio that is exclusive to Harlow &Co. She is currently out of stock, but will have this available again soon.

I hope you enjoyed this. Thanks for checking it out.

NerdLacquer Holy Grail

Well hello there! I couldn't wait to do today's post. This is a brand new Special Edition polish by NerdLacquer creator Amanda Collier. When her Etsy store finally opened back up I saw this and had to have it! She describes it as: "a super-fine-grained satiny linear holo in a dusty blue-green base with silver microglitter, medium blue-green iridescent glitter, and a liberal sprinkling of big square and hexagonal silver holo glitter. Oh, also? GLOWS IN THE DAMN DARK."
Now as much as glow in the dark may excite some people it doesn't do anything for me. She had me at linear holo plus glitter.
Application for this like the rest of her polishes I have tried was easy. It can be worn alone, it is opaque in two coats. I chose to layer it over OPI Thanks a Windmillion, which is a dusty light green, because I didn't want to cover up any of the glitter with multiple coats. One coat of Seche Vite is enough to get a nice smooth surface. I took lots of pics. Enjoy.

This is in the sun and shows off the linear holo effect. I know some have said that the holo effect is lessened with top coat. I did not have that problem.

This is in the shade and you can better see the glitter in this pic and the next.

Well, what do you think. Pretty nice huh? As I mentioned I bought this directly from the NerdLacquer Etsy store. It can also be purchased at the new Ninja Polish store that just opened. Just be warned this polish retails for $16 due to the special ingredients most other NerdLacquers are $10.

I hope you enjoyed this. Thanks for checking it out.

Ozotic 505 + 528

Hello all. Today I have my new favorite polish to show you. I've been waiting two months to get my hands on Ozotic 505. I actually had it on order and then changed my order to 518 (red holo) at the last minute. Not that 518 isn't nice, but I didn't expect to have to wait this long for the opportunity to get 505. Anyways it was well worth the wait. I have a few of the other Ozotic multi chromes this one by far has the most intense color change! It's so hard for me to wear any non-glitter polish by itself, so I combined 505 with Ozotic 528 which is a clear based micro-glitter with the same color shift. I thought they complemented each other well.

This is gorgeous in the sun!

the sparkles in 528 really show up in this pic

I had the hardest time trying to capture the all green shift. When the sun hits my nails the color shift was simply amazing. I had the hardest time not to keep staring at them when I drove home from work. I wore two coats of a black polish as a base color since 505 is too sheer to wear on its own. I added two coats of 505 and one of 528 for a little sparkle. I topped this off with one coat of Seche Vite. This is definitely a color that I will wear again and again.
Both of these polishes can be purchased from Llarowes website which is where I got them. They are also available from Harlow&Co or the Picture Polish website.

What did you think? Thanks for taking a look.

Lynnderella- The Telltale Heart

Hello. I have another Lynnderella for you today. This will be a quick post of an older swatch since I am out of town visiting my daughter in college. The Telltale Heart was part of Lynnderellla's Early Halloween collection she describes it as magenta squares, hexagons and micro-glitter in a blue- and pink-sparked translucent magenta base that can provide opaque coverage in three coats. Here it is over two coats of Illamasqua Phallic.

I really liked how the glitter stood out against the deep blue of Phallic. I got a ton of compliments when I wore this combination. I would recommend a coat of Gelous along with top coat when wearing TTH.Check Llarowe's website to order Lynnderella polish.

Hope you enjoyed this.

Lynnderella- Matter of the Heart

Happy Valentines Day All! Or as some of my unattached co-workers prefer, Happy Singles Awareness Day. Today I will be showing you Lynnderella's Matter of the Heart. A perfect glitter for Valentines Day. I will borrow Lynn's description "Matter of the Heart has red, fuchsia, pink, silver holographic multi-sized hexagons and squares with scattered holographic holo hearts in a sheer milky pink base with subtle pink shimmer." In the bottle it is gorgeous! When I first swatched it on a nail wheel I was a little disappointed because I couldn't get much glitter onto the brush. Well I am over that! I have swatched it on my nails and love it! I'm wearing it over Illamasqua Loella and Pure Ice Busted for added shimmer.

I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. I found that if I dab MotH on I can get more glitter. I even managed to get some of the holographic hearts on a few fingers. I ended up using one coat of base coat, two coats of Loella, one coat of busted and two to three dabs/coats of MotH. I topped this off with a coat of Gelous and Seche Vite. MotH has a milky base so you do have to be careful not to end up with streaks when wearing it over darker base colors.

Check Llarowe's website for information on how to order Lynnderella polishes.

Nerd Lacquer- Nebula

Today I have Nebula which is from Nerd Lacquer's "From Space" Series. It is "A blackened fuchsia with red and silver glitter, red and fuchsia small and medium hexagonal glitter, iridescent glitter, small lavender glitter, and generously spiked with fine and ultra fine holographic sparkles". I bought this and Pinin' for the Fjords from the Nerd Lacquer Etsy store. After seeing the crazy amount of glitter in the bottle I decided I had to swatch this one first!

I found Nebula to be easy to apply. It was opaque in two coats. The pics shown are with base coat, two coats of Nebula, one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite. I love this color. I have since bought three more and am waiting for her Etsy store to re-open. Nerd Lacquer can also be purchased at Harlow & Co.

Thanks for taking a look. What do you think?
