Lynnderella Early Halloween - Vampink

Hello! Today I have another polish from Lynnderella's Early Halloween collection for you. Vampink is a mix of small burgundy and black square glitters, small magenta hexes, large magenta squares, and tons of pink holographic microglitter, all in a tinted burgundy base. Application was pretty easy, I think the only issue I had was that some of the large magenta squares were kind of stuck together when I wanted to spread them over the nail, which was kind of odd, but I was able to work with them ok. There were plenty of those square glitters in there too, which was nice :) Due to that tinted base and the abundance of glitter you can reach opacity with this one with three careful coats (just let them dry so you don't accidentally create bald patches). However I decided to go with a base color of OPI DS Extravagance, which was a perfect match in my opinion :) Check it out!

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
1 coat OPI DS Extravagance
2 coats Lynnderella Vampink
1 coat Seche Vite
1 coat OPI Topcoat
1 coat Seche Vite
1 coat OPI Topcoat
1 coat Seche Vite

As you can see, this one was insanely topcoat-hungry! I thought it would be from the start so I did my usual Seche sandwich of Seche-OPI-Seche, but even then it was still ultra gritty... so I did one more combo-layer and it was finally fairly smooth (still a bit bumpy to the touch, but mostly good). I think this might be one of the grittiest polishes I've ever worked with, which seems odd since it is mostly just a lot of small glitters... but it was definitely pretty enough to make up for that :)
