Lynnderella Early Halloween (2011)

 

Earlier this month, I featured the first public collection from Lynnderella.  Not long after posting, I realized that it was October and I should feature the second Lynnderella collection, Early Halloween.  I foolishly sold 2 of my original bottles (Bride of Franken and She Lived in A Swamo) but later purchased later versions in the current square bottle.

I apply Lynnderellas by dabbing on some polish, then use the brush to position the glitter over the surface of the nail.  Bride of Franken can be easily applied on like a regular glitter polish, but the others are far more difficult (such as Gotta Love Brains).  I like having control of how much glitter is dispersed on the nail.  

Since I swatched these polishes just for pictures and not long-term use, I used a peelable base coat so I could easily remove the glitter.  I would suggest to do the same if you're only planning on wearing the mani for a day or two.  However, if you decide to wear it long-term, I recommend soaking a cotton ball in acetone, placing it on a nail, wrapping it in foil then waiting 10 minutes to easily remove.

I have difficulty describing early Lynnderellas due to the variety of glitter featured in those polishes.  I now consider early Lynnderellas as "nail jewelry".  I'm not much of a jewelry person, but wearing Lynnderella is as gaudy as I get.
