Lynnderella ChocoLotta Love

As my Lynnderella Connect the Dots Giveaway enters its last week, I've got another Lynnderella to share with you today. This is Lynnderella ChocoLotta Love. This is the first Lynnderella polish I saw that really created a lemming for me. I love the combination of deep velvety brown glitter with bright candy-like glitter in a multitude of colours: turquoise, ruby red, pink, purple, and even a few specks of bright chartreuse. The overall effect is satisfyingly chocolate-y and sweet.

In order to amp up the opacity, I layered this over Sally Hansen Cocoa A-Go-Go, from the Insta-Dri line last fall. I remembered to nab this picture before I painted over all of the fingers with ChocoLotta Love (the index and middle fingers have one coat of Lynnderella over Cocoa A-Go-Go, while ring and pinky fingers have just one coat of Cocoa A-Go-Go). This is definitely a layering polish.


This is how ChocoLotta Love looks at two coats, layered over a dark brown base:




Overall, I'm pretty happy with this. A base colour is definitely a necessity in order to achieve opacity, but the end of effect is quite nice. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth!

What do you think of Lynnderella ChocoLotta Love? What other colours might be nice to layer it over?

  1. I would be curious what that looks like over a nude or a nice light tan color. This is one of the most interesting polishes I think I've seen.

    1. I'll put that on the list of things to try- I'm curious myself as to what it will look like. I'll try to get that up within the next week or two!

    1. I really liked all the Sally Hansen Insta-Dris from that fall release. They were pretty awesome. Bronze Ablaze was pretty great, too! Lots of shimmery goodness.

  3. I'm not really into browns, but it sure looks like this one had a facelift LOL
