Lynnderella's "The Stars In Her Eyes".... ON THE FLY!!

Good Morning! 

Today's quick "Mani on the Fly" is featuring one of my first Lynnderella polishes!

 "The Stars In Her Eyes..." is from the Early Halloween Resurrected collection released in Sept/Oct 2012.

I was lucky enough to receive this polish, and another Lynn, as a Random Act Of Kindness from a woman I can't say enough nice things about! I had been struggling with the decision of which Lynnderella polish I should buy for myself as I have only had one, did not like it at the time, and promptly swapped it for something else. This woman contacted me, expressing the desire to send me a *single* polish. I cried I was so excited! (I know, it almost sounds silly, but it's the little things in life... isn't that true?) When the package arrived a few days later, needless to say I was knocked speechless when not one, but TWO gorgeous glittery polishes fell onto my lap!

Lynnderella herself describes TSIHE as, 

"Large and very tiny (and oh so adorable) holographic stars with intense gray and black holographic hexagons in a clear base. Application may require patience and skill due to the tiny stars being slightly thicker than other glitter with a slight tendency toward temperamental behavior."

 To test it out, I put on a single coat of China Glaze "DV8" from the OMG Holographic collection. Once dried, I topped my middle two fingers with two light coats of "The Stars In Her Eyes..." and topped with a coat of Seche Vite quick dry top coat.

LOOK HOW SPARKLY IT IS!!!! There's so many little stars in it, I honestly at times had to swipe a few back onto the bottle neck because I didn't want a messy pile everywhere! It's simple enough that you can pair it with honestly any color in the rainbow, but still sparkly enough to catch your eye all day long!

Like most Lynnderella's I've heard about, application was a little tricky because of how much glitter is packed in each bottle. The dab method worked best to put the little stars exactly where I wanted, but I was still able to swipe the polish first before going back and dabbing any strays into place.

I hope you've enjoyed this quick Mani On the Fly!

China Glaze Atlantis, On the fly!!

It's been two weeks since my last post, I apologize! It is easy for me to become distracted lately with so much weighing on my mind..... moving in two weeks, packing everything slowly, buying more things for the house! Plus lots of work, normal day to day chores/errands, and getting sick a few times.

To top it all off, when I was home sick yesterday, I wound up biting my nails down to little nubs again :( That's what happens when you are distracted! My poor fingers!

So! Until I finish editing some photos, and all that fun stuff for a few posts that are overdue.. I will be sharing with you another Mani on the Fly!


As you know, I received China Glaze "Atlantis" as a Random Act Of Kindness from Brittany at Adventures and Mishaps in the Land of Nail Polish a few weeks ago. This is a polish that seems to grace many people's polish "Wish List", mine included. I was so thrilled to cross it off my list!

Can I just say............ WOW?!

Because these are "pics on the fly" they might not be super clear, but you can certainly see how glittery and gorgeous it is!

This is two coats + base and top coat. It's like having jewels all over your nails! I ogled these every second I could!

Formula was a bit thick, but because it's so packed with glitter, I was not too surprised. If that bothers you, try adding a few drops of thinner to it! 

On day two they started to chip a bit (though possibly helped by my "picking" at edges LOL)

Removal was a bit difficult (again, due to amount of glitter on each nail!) but with some pure Acetone and patience, it did not take long at all!

This will be a great polish to break out around Christmas-time, too! ;)

Thanks for reading and following along, as always!

Nail Mail Galore! Reveals (Part One)

Last Thursday, October 11, I came home to a wonderful sight if you are one that gets easily excited over mail ;) Especially when you realize, something is a surprise!
After a long week (if you don't know already, my boyfriend and I are in the process of buying a home! So, needless to say, busy busy brains.) this was the perfect pick-me-up!

(I've been playing with the Halloween features of PicMonkey hehe)

I was greeted by a RAOK (Random Act Of Kindness), my Daring Digits order, as well as October's Birchbox package and Ipsy/GlamBag package!

 Of course, realizing one was something I had not been expecting, the RAOK, it was the first I opened! At that point, there was no daylight so I apologize for my lamp-light photos! I promise to share a better photo when I use this beautiful polish... China Glaze "Atlantis" !!!!

This polish has been on my "wish list" for a looong time! When I opened the bright green tissue paper, flowers rained down on my lap revealing a sparkly green beauty wrapped in bubble wrap. Surprise! was right!!! I must thank the wonderful Brittany at Adventures and Mishaps in the Land of Nail Polish // aka Nails by Brittany Moody!

Next on my open list was my Daring Digits order! There was a sale of all full size polishes for $5 each, so I snagged two that I had my eye on for a while! Meet....

(L-R) Why So Serious?, and Master Shake! 

Showing love for the Joker from Batman, and well, MS from Aqua Teen Hunger Force!!

My boyfriend loves all things Batman, and so before I showed him the polish, I told him what I had just unwrapped and he was dead right in his guess of what it looked like! I quote, "Deep purple, with little green flecks?" (Well, glitters, but way to go babe! hehe)

Be on the lookout for a post all about Daring Digits polishes soon... this makes 6 now that I own, and they keep getting better! I've already got plans for the Joker ;)

As always, thanks for following along!
