Lynnderella - Connect The Dots
2 coats over Revlon Modern Grace. This is the Lynnderella that I wanted the most. I am so glad that I snapped it up when I got the chance. It gives a unique look to essentially every other polish. I love it. I can't stop looking at it!

Chromatic Cosmetics
Okay so I was trolling Etsy the other day looking for shadows. I came across a seller with a lot of stuff I wanted (Chromatic Cosmetics). I pm'd back and forth with her and settled on the following 30 samples.
PREPARE FOR LAZY POSTING!
I am just spewing out everything from my camera here. If they are blurry.. sorry.. no time to put Spit&Polish on them. So lazy.. want sushi.
All are swatched over Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I apologize for the tiny swatches but.. there were 30! It would have taken 60 years to swatch them all individually :S
Speed Ballin' (Stardust), Terrestrial, Razzle Dazzle, Smoke & Mirrors,
Beamers, Steel City, Mo Murder, Starry Night,
Monster Mash, Cadaver, Widower, Autopsy
Walk of Shame, Cambria, Home Wrecker, Volatile,
Infatuation, Midnight Lights, Black Magic, Intuition,
Fizzy Pop, Mary Jane, Pina Colada, Spare Change
Oh Mr. Sun, Juiced, Ginger Kid, Sangria,
Platonic, Dizzy Drunk, Bereavement, Siren,
Dream Weaver, Beer Before Liquor, Cafe Mocha
The formula on all of these was fantastic. Some were a touch gritty but only the more etherial colours so I imagine it is whatever makes them hauntingly beautiful. I am in love with Oh Mr. Sun, Sangria and Mo Murder. That being said, if I had the money I would gladly buy nearly all of these in full size.
Speaking of $$ I got 30 samples for 20 dollars plus shipping. My only complaint is that the samples were really really sampley. There is no way that I am going to be able to do much more with them than what you see up there. Maybe swatch again? I could probably get a bit of actual eye wear out of them, but they are in bags (LOATHE although I see the purpose) and will be a PITA to work with.
Although the samples were super tiny, the full size (2g in a 5g sifter jar) shadows are only $4.17 CAD (doesn't tell in USD) and I am DEFINITELY going to be buying a great many of these once Xmas is over and I have resuscitated my wallet.

China Glaze - French Bliss
Okay so the title is very slightly misleading. This is not the entire collection. I could not find the plain white in the bargain bin :|
I love this collection in all its stinky white label goodness. All are 3 coats with no top coat. I am so totally going to need to reswatch these though :\ I was very eager to swatch them, but my nubs are frigging nubbly. There is essentially no white on my nails in these pics which means you cannot see the VNL which I think is essential when swatching sheers like these just for judgment of opacity. There are fluffs and dry skin and wounds and.. Why am I posting these again? :|
Anyways I snippety snapped so here they are.
Ooh La La Peach 3 coats, no topcoat.
+1 coat of Ooh La La Peach Pearl
3 coats Ooh La La Pink no topcoat.
+ 1 coat Ooh La La Pink Pearl
Indoors to show the blue flash
3 coats Ooh La La Beige no topcoat. I didn't realize until after I had removed this one that the camera setting was set to indoor light even though I snapped this outdoors :|
+ 1 coat Ooh La La Soft Pink Pearl
Indoor lighting
2 coats of Ooh La La White Pearl
Regardless of shab swatching. I love these :) I never thought I would get so squishy for neutrals! Nevermind sheer neutrals!
