Lynnderella - Undead Red

Lynnderella Undead Red has both matte and shiny red glitters in various shapes and sizes.  There is also iridescent blue glitters, which shine more purple because of the red base.  

There are also quite a lot of pinkish medium sized hexes.  I'm not sure if they are meant to be red and have bled a bit, cause I can't see them on Lynnderella's swatches on her sticks or in her description. But looking at her bottle shot macro, I can see something like them. I dunno, either way, I liked the way this looked wearing it.

This is one coat of Undead Red layered over two coats of China Glaze Ruby Pumps.

I'm going to try and join in as much as I can with the Aussie Christmas Nail Challenge.  I know there are a stack of other challenges starting now, but like how this one is about our hot and summery Christmas with BBQs and pool parties, rather than snowflakes. I only just saw it on Aussie Nails, so I'm a day late starting, and I'm totally cheating using the above Undead Red mani I wore earlier this week as my mani for 1 December.

Another Ulta3 Nail sticker design

Here is another set of the Ulta3 nail stickers that I tried.  The design has a combination of raised gold droplets together with gold mesh design.  The stickers themselves are translucent, so your base colour shows through the little diamond shapes and around the droplets.  I chose to wear them over a black base.

When I first applied these, they were lovely and smooth, but I decided to add a coat of Seche Vite to seal in the tips and help stop any lifting.  Unfortunately, this caused the tips to wrinkle up a bit, and created some creases in the sides too.  The following day the Seche Vite peeled off in a large sheet off every nail.  It lifted off up to the textured part, where it ripped like perforated paper.

The instructions don't say anything about adding a top coat to the stickers, but I thought, at the time, it was a good idea. In the future though, I wont be adding Seche Vite and I will see what the wear is like and if the tips peel.

This is what the packet looks like.  It comes with 16 stickers, costs $5 and I use the five largest sizes.

Has anyone else tried these Ulta3 nail stickers yet?  What was your experience like.

I still find them rather thick, especially compared to the PERL strips that I reviewed (and have since purchased various other designs.)
