Blue - Girly Bits Stormy Skies, SInful Colors Midnight Blue, Lynnderella Pentimento and OPI The Flowers are BlueMing

Hello! . .

I have a combination of colours today. A pale blue/grey (Girly Bits Stormy Skies) with a rich dark blue shimmer (Sinful Colours Midnight Blue), Lynnderella Pentimento and a scattered blue jelly (OPI The Flowers are BlueMing).

All polishes applied well and dried reasonably quickly. I used Seche Vite as a topcoat. It is interesting to see the effect of adding the OPI jelly over Lynnderella Pentimento. There are a selection of pictures below before and after adding the OPI over the darker blue nails. I left the pale blue nails without the jelly as I think the colours look amazing as they are. Two very different looks using Pentimento! For those who don't know Pentimento, it is a mix of a gazillion glitters in a slightly tinted transparent base. I'm unsure if the base is intended to be tinted or if the glitters have bled a little. Either way, it is one of my favourite Lynnderellas.

Please excuse the dry bits! My nails are recovering from an attack of dry cuticle syndrome!

Zoya Demi & Lynnderella Pentimento

Hello!

My swap from Lynda arrived! We were introduced to each other in a Polish Swap group and to cut a long story very short, for a random pairing it was amazing how much we had in common. From age to hair colour! My part of the swap made it to the USA quite fast. Lynda's part seemed to have gone missing.

We decided to wait for the recommended time period before deciding what to do next. That day was today. As I was discussing my dog's skin with the vet (as you do) the door bell rang. Postman Pete handed me a stack of letters and a tatty brown (from being handled in the mail system for too long) bag. My heart rate started to increase and then I saw the label! It was Lynda's parcel (I had seen a photo taken before she sent it).

So here are the main contents! There were lots of other things including a San Diego surf board keyring, a US magazine and chocolate and sweeties!

You can see Butter London Fishwife, a polish I have wanted forever. There are 3 Zoyas; Heather, Demi and Robyn.

The polishes, Skittle fashion! Zoya Demi is a rich plum cream polish. It applies smoothly and dries well.

Zoya Heather is a lovely light lilac-pink cream shade. It is a lovely spring colour. I smudged it before it dried sadly and I repainted with Demi after taking this picture.

Zoya Robyn is a fabulous cream bright light blue. Again it applied flawlessly.

Butter London Fishwife is a sheer pale green/blue holographic shade. It is a sheer shade, it is painted over a periwinkle blue in this picture. This is two coats. It applies smoothly and dries quickly. If I was doing it as a proper mani I think I'd have used a different base, perhaps something like OPI Thanks a Windmillion.

I added a coat of Lynnderella Pentimento. This is one of the mixes of colours and white glitters that Lynn does so well. I love almost everything she makes but some of my favourites are in this style. I think she was one of the first to do this type of polish and she does it the best! Seche Vite was my topcoat.
