Nail Mail: Lynnderellas!

Last week I got two packages in the mail on the same day.

I got some nail art tools and brushes, including my first dotting tools, that I had ordered at the end of April from this store on ebay recommended by Lacey of Lace & Lacquers.  She had used the tools for an Easter-themed manicure.  You can see her manicure and more pictures of the tools here.

I also got my first two, my only two Lynnderellas.  I got them during a flash sale the week before last on llarowe.com.  They didn't take long to get to me!  I got Cauldron Drippings, which I had been wanting for a while, and I got Funny Money on a whim.  Turns out I don't really like Funny Money now that I see it up close.  If any of you would like to trade with me and are interested in Funny Money, please let me know.  I've never done a swap or trade before!

I also got HITS Speciallita No Olympo Ares, a truly red holo, deep cherry red!  This was also from llarowe.com.  I am just a sucker for that No Olympo collection of holo polishes.

Here are some pictures of the packaging and the bottles and some swatches on nail wheels:

Cauldron Drippings on #14 on the top wheel (and #15 on the top wheel is HITS No Olympo Ares and #13 on the top wheel is Lynnderella Funny Money).  China Glaze Cross Iron 360 on #9 on the bottom wheel and Confetti 053 Papa-Razzi on #10 on the bottom wheel.  I was trying to find a suitable "underwear" color for Cauldron Drippings so that I don't have a crazy amount of glitter layers from Cauldron Drippings.

#13 on the bottom wheel is L'Oreal L'Orange.  This may be what I end up using as my "underwear" for Cauldron Drippings (#14 on the top wheel).

All my HITS No Olympo holos.  Ares is #15 on the top wheel, Demeter is #6 on the bottom wheel, Hermes is #7 on the bottom wheel, and Poseidon is #8 on the bottom wheel.

 

Funny Money is #13 on the top wheel.  On the bottom wheel, #7 is China Glaze Holly-Day, and #8 is China Glaze Glittering Garland.

Thank you for reading my blog!

Revlon Colorstay Brush

I did not post pictures of the brush in my blue nails posts here and here. The Revlon Colorstay brush is shorter and wider than the "regular" Revlon brush. It's not shovel- or mop-wide like some of the Sally Hansen brushes. The brush worked the same for me as the regular brushes in terms of number of strokes I use to cover the small width of my very curved nails, but I feel like it holds more paint. I don't know if I'm just imagining that, though.  The color of the polish is Indigo Night.

The pictures below are a little blurry, but I couldn't get the camera to focus better:
