So...I drank the kool-aid. I did. I bought a Lynnderella. Well, sort of. I split a duo with a dear friend. The hipster in me is wholly offended, but the addict has beaten that hipster into submission...which is good, because this is a lovely shade!
This shade reminded me of that purple that I had as a teenager, and I needed to own it. When someone I actually knew posted in a group, asking if anyone wanted to split the duo I figured it was a sign from the polish gods. She kept a pale microglitter, and I brought home this lovely purple pearl.
The formula was decent, though I admit the brush was a bit stiff and narrow. Some folks love that though. It didn't flood, or streak, or misbehave at all...so I give it a B+/A- in that department. I only needed two coats for these pictures, and I was ready to rock. I wish I had a good matte topper, because I think this would be pretty awesome mattified.
I feel like I have hit a milestone. I almost posted an "achievement unlocked" picture...and I still might. I imagine that this brand was probably the shit-and-a-half back when the ball first started rolling, but nowadays there are just so many brands that I don't think my budget will allow me to spend this kind of money on the regular. Maybe just the occasional treat...once a year, or quarter...or month?
I know the feeling! I had a similar experience recently, when I bought my first polishes from Enchanted Polish :)
ReplyDeleteAnd on Vampy Velvet: that's a lovely purple!
my friend gifted me an Enchanted, and I'm afraid to use it! What if I looooove it? That is a serious financial commitment!
DeleteTrue! I love the ones that I got, but I don't see myself buying more, because they're so pricy, plus the shipping to Europe isn't exactly cheap either.
DeleteBeautiful color! I love the shimmer in it!
ReplyDeleteit really is neat!
DeleteOh Lynnderella. In all my thousands of bottles I own not one, nor have I ever seen one in person. If she started to do more finishes I like, I'm doomed, but so far I am safe. It felt like the end of the world when she first did a shimmer, rather than glitter.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I think I'm in the same boat. Glitters don't really flip my skirt up, but this purple spoke to me.
DeleteI was thinking the same thing, this color would do well matte!
ReplyDeleteI need to get a good matte.
DeleteSuch a pretty shade! I've really been into purple polish lately.
ReplyDeletePurple is a great thing!
DeleteSuch a perfect purple!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is gorgeous! Your photos do a really great job of showing off the different colors in this!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try a lynderella polish. I feel like once I do it'll be all over for me and I'll want them all lol.
