Lynderella Chit Chat, Swatches, Questions, and The Kitchen Sink

[loveuga]

I might have to do my nails again tonight just because I want to try another Lynn...not sure which and with what though...

I need to do a mani today too!

 

[lulu3955]

I've got Nubar Brown Rose with Lynn Chocolotta love on my toes. I'm thinking I might match my mani pedi but wanted to know what other color bases people are using for Chocolotta love.

I layered Liquid Valentine over Julep's Glenn which is a nice metallic-y red that flashes hot pink a little, especially in the sun. I'm finding it hard to find a good color, some of the glitters get lost on red/darker pinks, but the base is tinted so it looks strange over light colors.

^wow...great combo!

Here is Nosegay on top of American Apparel L'Esprit ( I added Jordana purple hearts on top but they don't show very well on the AA polish):

And here is Heart Strings layered on top of Butter London Disco Biscuit (I am having a hard time thinking of what to put underneath Heart Strings):

^both combos are beautiful, but I really love the nosegay combo!

My newly obtained Lynnderellas!

^congratulations!

And here is today's mani:

Zoya Zara with 1 coat of Lavendear and 1 coat of Bride of Franken. So blingy! I am going to have so much fun with these.

(please excuse the huge pic, too lazy to resize)

^fantastic lynnderlayering!

I would suggest you try things you don't think would look good with it, sometimes the most unlikely match is the best!

I've heard it can be opaque in a few coats too though. Most of the photos I've seen don't show anything else poking through

I would try yellow below, orange, blue, green, etc. See what you can find to work, I normally use a very thin coat, and angle the brush where it's not in full contact with the nail when I drag it across.

Yep, I got it opaque in two generous coats, or three thin ones.

Connect the Dots over Chanel Nouvelle Vague

 

[danae]

Perfect combo! It reminds me of vintage graphics on the opening credits of shows like Saved by the Bell! So cheerful, love, love,love!

Connect the Dots over Chanel Nouvelle Vague

Thanks! It reminds me of the kitchen table we had when I was a kid - mid-century modern. LOL! My SO said it looked like a robin's egg. Which is a far sight better than what he said last time I wore Connect the Dots - he said it looked like a seagull crapped on my nails - LOL!

Love this!

fantastic color combo! I agree with you & danae...very mid-century modern.

Hahaha! I remember when you wrote about the seagull comment, hilarious. Athough I agree with you, it's more Jackson Pollock

:lolots:

I really like the combo you have now, looks very pretty.

I'm not sure if I like CtD on me yet. I really like how it looks in pictures, but I tried it on a nail yesterday over Barielle Do Unto Others and didn't like how it looked. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood.

I ended up doing a mani with Boy-Girl Party over Julep Helena. Boy-Girl Party is so fun!

Wooo! I finally made it to Florida, all settled in and internet connected, etc. Now for the important business: deciding on a nice warm, beachy mani/pedi combo for the weekend! I wish I had more orange polishes, I feel like Telltale heart would be really pretty and summery over an orange base.
