Hello lovelies,

 

Firstly I have to say this - I FINALLY OWN CONNECT THE DOTS!!! If you've been interested in nail polish for years you will know that Lynnderella's Connect The Dots was one of the first, maybe even the first indie black and white glitter topper and 'everybody' wanted it. I wasn't as lucky in restocks and I wasn't able to get it but now I finally own it!

 

I have used BE Creative Make Up Clouds and Magma to create a monochrome gradient base. Then I layered one coat of Lynnderella Connect The Dots over it. One coat was all I needed because the bottle is loaded with glitter in different shapes and sizes. The clear base also has glass iridescent particles giving the topper some sparkle. The glitter dried fast but a bit uneven so I applied a coat of Seche Vite to get smooth surface.

This was also the first time I was trying out BE Creative Make Up polishes. They come in quite a specific and unusual bottle shape that to me evokes hourglass. The cap is made out of matte plastic and has white branding on it. I like the matte cap as it gives it elegant look. The polishes were good to work with so I will be showing you some more later. BE Creative Make Up polishes are currently available in stores in Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Malaysia and Germany (check locations here). Hopefully they will be available in the UK soon if they are not yet and I will inform you as soon as I know more.

 

As for the Lynnderella Connect The Dots - I'm so happy to have it. I do have many other black and white glitter toppers that I have collected over the years but CTD is still unique to my collection. Lynnderella polishes are available at their online store and eBay store. You can also check out the latest colours on their blog.

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

 

Many of you have been asking if my collaboration shade Dragonfly is the same as A England Saint George - it really isn't. Let's have a look:

So as you can see, Dragonfly is a lighter shade of green teal whereas Saint George is quite dark in comparison. On top of that, Dragonfly has slightly different holographic finish and coloured glass particles - bijou holo finish. They can looks very similar in picture depending on lighting, sun, how much the picture has been edited, your monitor etc. but when they are next to each other they are clearly different. At least in my opinion.

 

These swatches were taken under artificial light because I haven't seen sun in a long time..in fact I don't even remember how it looks! HELP, send some sun to the UK!

 

I hope you can see the difference and yes, it's worth to own both!
