OBSESSED: Blinged out Nails- Lynnderella Nail Polishes

Have you guys heard of Pinterest.com?

If not, let me tell you about this site.  Remember back in the day when you were in high school and you'd flip through your Seventeen and Teen Vogue (RIP!) Magazines and cute out pics of cute boys or dresses that you liked?  Well, it's kind of the same concept, but brought to you now through the magic of the world wide web.  Pinterest allows you to create mood boards based on whatever you want.  See something on a blog (say, this blog, for example) that you like?  "Pin it" to Pinterest and then share that board with friends.  It's a great site and it's actually really addicting.

Anyway, I was browsing on Pinterest recently, when I saw this:

I visited steffels.blogspot.com, which is where the image was originally from, and found that the seemingly DIY nail polish shown here is actually one of a collection by a woman named Lynn Chrisman and she sells them on her blog.  THEY ARE AMAZING.  They are really creative combinations of glitter into nail lacquer.  I am all up in the weird nail trends and, I have to say, I haven't seen any glitter polishes that match the uniqueness of these Lynnderella ones.  The bad news is that she puts them out in collections and they are in pretty low supply when she does put them out.  

They are $12 a bottle and you better believe that I'm going to try to get my naked nails on these!  If you want to see more pictures and try to recreate these glittery polishes on your own, check out Steffel's blog for some awesome holiday nail ideas!  Here are my favorites:

TOTALLY OBSESSED.  

Ogle: Glitter pumps? Really?

I love the fact that living in New York, you can wear whatever you want and feel comfortable.  I think that's how the trend of glitter pumps was born.  I do think that they are fun type of shoe to look at, but something about them just seems too Do-It-Yourself to me...here are some of the more high end ones that I've seen...

 These are from Giuseppe Zanotti

Miu Miu

And even Jimmy Choo (though I think that this is much  better and more subtle option)

All in all, I get why people are drawn to this trend.  It kind of reminds me a little of the Dorothy Ruby Red Slippers but in a much cooler and more adult way.  Not porn start style, but it could be border line here.  I'll ogle this trend from a distance but I probably won't dabble.  If you're looking for some cheaper options, there are plenty of options- check out ShopStyle for an huge selection.
