Lynnderella Friday - Orange You A Saucy Little Cranberry and Torrid As Her Glance..

Hello radiant readers!

I've got another edition of Lynnderella Friday for you. Although I'm thinking it really should be changed to Lynnderella Saturday at this point :/. The little time I get for myself usually consists of the few hours between when my toddler goes to sleep and when I go to sleep so I apologize that many of my posts are so late at night! Anyways, I've got some fun Lynnderellas to show you today so I hope you're excited to see them.

This beautiful microglitter is Orange You A Saucy Little Cranberry. This one is "a deep cranberry microglitter sweetened with a holographic edge, assorted orange and red accents in a red- and pink-sparked clear base." I used two coats with topcoat. I don't know why I haven't tried this one sooner! It's so my kind of color. I will be wearing this one a lot more often now that I've discovered how great it looks on the nail. Easy formula, perfect color. I'm callin' it a win!

This next one I knew I would love. In fact I hunted it down for a few months because I wanted it so badly. It didn't disappoint. This super fun topper is Torrid As Her Glance.., a clear microglittered base containing assorted satin teals contrasted with neon red, purple and green glitters. This is one coat over Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Go Deep (another beautiful polish that I will have for you in an upcoming post). I love everything about it!

Sadly, I believe both of these Limited Edition Lynnderella polishes are now discontinued. I know for certain that Torrid As Her Glance... is, but it's possible that I'm wrong about Orange You A Saucy Little Cranberry. Keep an eye on Lynnderella's Ebay Shop because it may pop up in a future auction, and they've got a ton of other great polishes over there too! You can also purchase Lynnderella's Core Collection from the storenvy shop. If you'd like to stay up to date on new releases from the brand, follow them on social media, including their Facebook page and Instagram account. 

What did you think of the two polishes in today's post? Do you have a Lynnderella or any polish that you hunted down for months? The struggle is real... ;) 

Have a fabulous weekend!

Colors By Llarowe Vegas 2015 and the Go Faster Collection swatches

Hello lovely readers,

I hope you're all having a good week so far, and woo hoo! It's finally Friday (well almost). I've been working on swatching for the majority of theweek and will be pumping out posts as quick as I can for all of you. If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook, you've had a peek at a few of the upcoming posts, but trust me, there are many more still. So stay tuned! Tonight I've got some beautiful CBL's aka Colors By Llarowe to show you! All four of the polishes featured in this post are seriously stunning and unique to my collection. Get excited!

The first three polishes I have today are from CBL's recently released Limited Edition Go Faster Collection, which was created to benefit Llarowe's office manager, Deanna's passion for racing. All proceeds raised from this collection will go straight into making Deanna's mustang even better!

This perfect pink is Fast Girls, a neon pink crelly with violet shimmer. Just when I thought I had all the pink polishes I could ever need (HAHAHA right...), this baby showed up! The shimmer in this one is breathtaking in person and in photos. LOVE IT! This is three coats with topcoat, but you can totally get away with just two. Awesome formula.

Next is Need For Speed, a black linear holo with intense pink, gold, and copper shimmer. I'm probably going to sound redundant in this post, but oh well, I LOVE THIS! I did not want to take this polish off to continue swatching. It is so damn mesmerizing in person. You NEED IT! Two easy peasy coats with top coat.

The last polish from the Go Faster Collection is Girls Shift Faster, a deep lilac crelly with intense pink to gold to red shimmer. Again, you need this. It's purple perfection in a polish bottle. This is 3 super easy coats with top coat. I didn't need the 3rd coat again, but sometimes I just can't help myself. ; P

Finally I have the Vegas 2015, a polish you could only get by winning a raffle hosted by Llarowe. Fifty bottles were available and proceeds were donated in equal portions to the following:  RSDSA (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy research), The Shady Tree (domestic violence shelter in Las Vegas) and the Kathleen Foster Trust (trust account set up by the daughters of a member of the polish community that passed away suddenly). I was so excited to see this beauty in my package that I immediately used it and have used it quite a few times since then. It is on the sheer side, but I actually like the effect with this one. I used 3 coats with top coat for the swatches below. You can see a bit of VNL in the photos, but it was much less pronounced in person. Another one that I really LOVE!

Wow that is one gorgeous blog post! :) Sadly these will no longer be available on Llarowe.com, BUT you can still get them or will be able to get them in the very near future through the following stockists: Harlow & Co., Hypnotic Polish, and Rainbow Connection UK. Vegas 2015, however, was created only for the raffle and will not be for sale. If you'd like to keep up with the latest news and restocks from Colors By Llarowe, follow them on their social media accounts: Instagram and Facebook.

I will be back tomorrow with a Lynnderella Friday! See you then :)
