Comparisons between Lynnderella The Glittering Crowd (pointer and ring fingers) and Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday (middle and little fingers).
- DL looks more uniform and elegant, since it only has small rounds and medium hexes, and has mostly small white round glitter so it’s a shinier, prettier finish. It’s slightly gritty without a top coat.
- Lynn has more colorful, larger flakes in different sized hexes, squares, bars, and also has holo pieces. It’s much more noticeably gritty without a topcoat, though the bars are short enough to not need 2 coats. 
They both go well over OPI Just Spotted the Lizard and glam it up in different ways. Lynn’s version is chunkier, more colorful, and more bling, while DL’s original is beautiful and more structured. Definitely both are great additions to our polish collection!

OPI Just Spotted the Lizard (Chanel Peridot dupe) with Lynnderella A Glittering Crowd. Sorry for the tipwear but got the glitter and thought it’d look nice on top. Will try the glitter again on a black base :]

Deborah Lippmann Let’s Hear It for the Boy (baby blue — on sale at HSN right now with Dancing in the Sheets, which is awesome too, post coming soon) and Hot Mess Lacquers Fuego (red shift shimmer top coat) paired together is so pretty. Fuego helped hide the sheet marks on the blue base, and also adds a beautiful pink glow. Reminds me a bit of Rescue Beauty Lounge’s halcyon.

A-England Guinevere (pale lavender creme) with A-England Morgan Le Fay (silver white shimmer) and Deborah Lippmann Stairway to Heaven (pastel square glitter and larger orange hex glitter in a translucent white base). Oddly, Stairway to Heaven was a bit thick and almost clumpy—all other DLs have been dreamy in their formulas and how smoothly they glide on to the nail. I might add some thinner to it, the clumpiness seem to make the glitter appear bumpy but it’s actually really smooth after a coat of SV.
