Ya want a little sneak peak pressie?

A little bird send me another Lynnderella Polish.  God only knows why strangers think I deserve such wonderful gifts.  But I was so excited to see it, I couldn't sleep until I threw it on under a few colors and decided on a base color for a full mani.   

The awesomeness that follows is Lynnderella Connect The Dots.  This is now my MOST FAVORITE POLISH EVER!  Hahah...

I thought Snow Angel couldn't be topped.  Well I, my friends, was wrong.  

Observe:

Lynnderella Franken Polish: Connect The Dots over various base colors.

Wearing brown while feeling blue

 Yeah, that's right.  Feelin' blue.  *sigh*

lol JK!  =0P

I just thought that would be a cute title for this post.  MUWAhahah.....   <-- that's my evil laugh 'case you can't tell... 

 anyhoo.  This post is all about my brown polishes.  Well, some of them anyway.

Fall is fast approaching and if you're like me, you will reach for brown polish more than once as the seasons change.  I have a gorgeous shimmery drug store brown to show you and a comp between a drug store polish and an OPI.  Let's get started!

First up is one of the Revlon Top Speed polishes that came out a while back.  This one is Espresso.

Sally Hansen Crackle Distressed Denim Swatches

Here she is- One of the new Sally Hansen crackles.  The blue one to be exact.  Called Distressed Denim.  Let's see how she does...

Sally Hansen Crackle Distressed Denim

Swatched over an orange and lime green polish

not great over the orange, lime green= yum!

Distressed Denim over Lickety-Split Lime and some orange. ;)

OK.  Here are my thoughts.  Not in love with the blue crackle.  My whole reason for wanting a blue was to put it over orange polishes.  I think the sheerness of this polish made for kind of a yucky combination over the orange.  =0(  Still looking for a great blue crackle.

Over the green and probably other blues, however, it's ok.  Still sheer like I said, so if you overlap layers it will show, but it's a crackle- so the sheer factor is not that noticeable over the crackle effect.

I've heard some people complaining about the Sally Hansen crackles NOT CRACKLING.  This has NOT been my experience.  I have tried quite a few of them, and all of them crackle just fine given a few tips:

• SHAKE THE BOTTLE!!!  ( yes I know, you're not supposed to shake polish.  But in this case, just DO IT! 

•  Wait until your base polish is DRY!!!

The only time my SH Crackles did not crackle was when the base polish was not totally dry, or I did not shake the bottle first.  So there ya have it.   What is your favorite SH Crackle polish?  ;)

Comparison: Ski Teal We Drop v. SK Taunting Teal

Can you guess wish is which?

 Today I have for you lovelies a quick comparison.  OPI Ski Teal We Drop verus Sonia Kashuk Taunting Teal.  Both are lovely polishes!  The SK is a cheaper alternative to dropping the dough on an OPI. But honestly, I like the OPI better...  =0P

OK. So middle and pinkie are the SK and pointer and ring fingers are the OPI.  STWD just has a *bit* more life to it.  Which translates to= it's not quite as dark as Taunting Teal.  Here's a couple more pix for you to see:

L-R: STWD, TT, alternating

Similar, though, n'est pas?  Maybe a shade or 1.5 shade difference between the two?

Ahem.  In conclusion I suggest you go out and buy both of them like I did.  I totally heart wearing the OPI.  It's a FAV of mine in the fall.  BUT- Taunting Teal is an awesome stamping polish!  I only use it as such now that I own STWD.  Let me illustrate:

China Glaze DV8 stamped with SK Taunting Teal.

AAaahh... Teal holo + teal zebra stripes = yes!  Love this mani!

What do you guys think?  ;0)
