Lynnderella Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue + OPI DS Temptation + SPAM

Okay, so...yeah. There's been a lot of craziness surrounding Lynnderella's polishes. I'm not going to get into it. What I will tell you is that the ones I have, I love. I enjoy the crap out of glitter crazy mess polishes, and BBBB is no exception. For this mani I did 2 coats of NYS Hot Purple jelly, then 2 coats of OPI DS Temptation (a very non holo DS), then 1 coat of Gelous, 1 coast of Seche Vite, and then 2 coats of Lynnderella Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue, and then a coat of NYC Grand Central Station topcoat. WHOO! That's a lot of coats, now onto the sparkles!

I just love all the different colors of blue and purple and green! I just wish there were more different shapes/sizes. Good luck getting your hands on this polish, not only is it discontinued, but now the only way you can get your hands on Lynn's polish is ebay :(.

Now onto some spam!

Catherine Arley 805 - Black holo!

Things are getting pretty stressful at work, so I felt like I needed a palette cleansing vampy mani. I chose Catherine Arley 805 because its a gorgeous black with a little holo surprise. I hauled Catherine Arleys last year as one of my first big internet nail polish purchases. They are relatively hard to find because you have to order them from a European website that's very tricky to maneuver. But I regret nothing! Their brushes are a little wonky, and the formula is a liiiittle thick, but the colors... Yum. And they dry quickly and with a glossy finish, even without topcoat. The CA polishes tend to be less linear holographic and more scattered or a sparse almost-linear formation.

I added a rose painted on with acrylic paint and a dotting tool. I have a Lancome executive type visit today at work, so hopefully my rosy nail art will woo them.

Blurry to show the rainbowy-ness.
