Kell's DIY Nails

I hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day... Or Walking Dead Day! Was that mid-season premiere awesome or what?!? As I browsed my stash to find a good polish for Valentine's, I realized I still had Lynnderella's Matter of the Heart that I picked up in a stash sale some years ago. Sadly, the formula was quite bad; very runny, sheer and the base would not suspend the glitter. So when life hands you lemons you make lemonade... And when you get a crap polish you either layer it or Franken it. I did attempt to layer; but I just could not get the glitter on my nail due to the very runny & thin base. I'm not sure if it went bad over time, if I got a bad batch, or if it had been doctored with too much thinner in the past. Who knows. I grabbed a light pink cream that had sat untouched for at least a few years, Julep, Reese . She's a nice polish but I don't wear light pinks too often. I mixed equal parts Reese & Matter of the Heart and got lucky because it end...

I've got the Alanis Morisette song stuck in my head now. It's actually not a bad song to have stuck in your head so it's all good. You Yacht To Know Better is a very pretty dusty blue shimmer with blue glitter. It leans a little dark on me but I'm very pale. If you are a fan of navy blues I think you will love this. It's not the best color on me though. I tend towards brighter blues.  What you see here is 2 coats. The formula was a little on the thick side and the brush didn't want to fan out on the nail so I had more clean up than usual. But you could easily add thinner to remedy this issue (I don't know why I didn't). It dried pretty quick but left a little texture behind due to the blue micro glitter. I topped it with a coat of In A Hurry to get a glossy finish. After a few days I topped it with a glitter; Lynnderella's Boy-Girl Party. I know I swore off Lynnderella's but I snapped this up from a stash sale for a really good price. The applica...

Lynnderella, Connect the Dots. 1 coat over: Barielle, Sweet Addiction & Cosmic Kiss.  Did I really just post a Lynnderella?!? I did! I did! I bought this sooo long ago (back before it was a chore to purchase) and then the drama hit and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. If you don't know about the drama that ensued; just do a little digging and you will quickly find it - along with a lot of opinions. Me, I'm gonna keep my opinion to myself. While, you won't see me buying any more Lynnderella creations I did buy some back in the Early Indie years (not that long ago; I'm just being silly) and I've since used the other two I bought but this one was waiting... waiting for the right moment. That moment is now. Whenever I do an accent nail I feel I need something to pull it together; in my last post I mentioned this color combo reminded me of the 90's.... Well, now it's even more 90's... add a little black and white and it looks like the p...
