Lynnderella Princess in Punkatory

  I'm aware I've done a pretty fantastic job convincing you I've fallen off the face of the earth. You can go ahead and thank the polar vortex for that, because the brutal cold we'd been having these past few months had its way with my nails and broke them something fierce. Now that things are finally thawing out over here, the fancy phalanges are making a comeback. 

    Nailporn resumes with a very special polish gifted to me by someone extra-spankin'-awesome, and you know who you are! Lynnderella Princess in Punkatory is a sheer electric pink base with pink-violet shimmer and a plethora of multicolored glitters, including stars and (!) butterflies. The name alone reminds me of this song (hello senior year of high school). And Cyndi Lauper.

My eyes are getting all googly staring at the deliciousness.

Lynnderella Lacquers are available on lynnderella.com and through Glitter Connect and Norway Nails. This one is a limited edition, and was a gift as I mentioned before, but there are plenty of amazing core colors as well. So what do you think? Will you (like me) be coming back to this one time after time?

Liquid Lacquer Dancing Days

     

     Today brings something of a somber post. Not too long ago, a minor tragedy happened. I'd just done my nails with Dancing Days and put the bottle on the kitchen table. This is a cautionary tale about leaving a parrot unattended for even .2342523 of a second. Lestat made a beeline for the shiny, got it in his beak, and dropped it smash on the floor in less time than it takes to whip your head around, apparently. Kind of made me go like this:

Is that the way it should start?

     Needless to say I was not dancing. This also means, sadly, that there are no bottle shots this time around because I hadn't gotten the chance to photograph it yet. But for the few days I had it on the color was still positively dance-worthy. Dancing Days was--sniff--is a pinkish lavender jelly holo. Shown is three coats and maybe a few tears of devastation.

Direct lighting:

     Even more sadly, this one is currently sold out, and I have no idea if it's coming back. Supposed to have been LE. But check out all the other awesome colors on the Liquid Lacquer site and updates with new colors on Facebook, and maybe dancing days will be here again.

This polish was purchased by me (and broken by a very naughty parrot).

Elevation Polish Pata Puffer

Do I have a glittergasm for you today. And. it's. pink.

Jinkx Monsoon is enthralled.

According to Lulu, the creator, Pata Puffer was inspired by one of these:

No sarcasm here (gasp!). It is what it looks like, a pink Patagonia puffer (try saying that ten times fast). Behind the brand is Lulu's joint passion for mountain climbing and nail polish, and as you can see from my other Elevation posts, most of the colors are inspired by natural wonders. This one, more something you'd wear while exploring said natural wonders. Not sure if this is the *exact* jacket that got bottled into this polish, but let's just say it must be a member of the family. Second-cousin-once-removed perhaps.

                                     

Pata Puffer is a magenta jelly stuffed with as many magenta hexes and microglitters as a real puffer is stuffed with goose down. Shown is three coats.

Sunlight:

Photo-glutted yet? No? You're in luck. I just couldn't resist tacking these on. I originally did them for a giveaway, and while I didn't win it gave me an excuse to partake of this amazeballs chocolate raspberry wine.

Sadly this one was a limited edition that isn't available anymore (Lulu, if you hear my wails of desperation, please bring it back someday!), but you can dig up many more colors Jinkx Monsoon would approve of at the Elevation Polish store. Did I mention there does exist a Pata Puffer II, which is a clear-based glitter topper that captures all the scrumptious pinkness of the original. Don't forget to stalk the blog for updates on monthly releases!

This polish was purchased by me.
