Colors by Llarowe June Polish Pick Up Exclusive: The Great Escape
Phew, we had an exhausting weekend! We were here, there, everywhere! And I slept so poorly every night. I typically sleep bad the first night then I'm ok, but every single night was bad, ugh. Do you have issues sleeping comfortably in a hotel room? Anyways, I'm home now so hope to get a better nights sleep in my own bed (I may have already taken a long nap). Ok, the real reason I am here tonight is that the June PPU is THIS WEEKEND!! Sales will be from 6/1 - 6/4 and I've got several gorgeous polishes to share with you...I'm starting off with a stunning shade from Colors by Llarowe. This is called The Great Escape and will be $11 with no cap! This color excited me so let's jump right in to the post.

Colors by Llarowe Mild & Wild 2018 Collection
Good morning and happy Saturday! We have survived another week, it was an especially long one for me. I worked out 3 separate times yesterday just to have some stress relief. I got it, and my body is sufficiently sore from doing new things (paddle board cardio/yoga anyone?!). So needless to say, I was a bit preoccupied with my body yesterday and didn't have a chance to sit down and get a post up. I'm making up for it today with a post or two, starting off with the up and coming Colors by Llarowe Mild & Wild 2018 Collection. 2 4-piece sets of coordinating polishes with a "mild" or "wild" theme. All 8 are fantastic. The Mild & Wild 2018 collection will be available on 2/1 for $5 or $11. I'll comment on the ones that are $5. You can buy the whole collection for $68. Now that you have all that info, let's check out some polish!

Colors by Llarowe - NailLand Exclusives; Scattered Sun & Berry Gem
Morning. Monday comes too fast around here. I am looking forward to Summer when I can actually sleep in a little. Not much, just a little. There's really no such thing as sleeping in when you have kids. I guess I failed when I was supposed to teach my kids that skill. But only 12 days of school left then I'll get a little break from the 6am wake up call. Anywho, I've got a post for you today featuring 2 gorgeous Colors by Llarowe polishes that are exclusive to the NailLand shop. These were creating as a collaboration between Llarowe and LakkomLakkom. The good news is these are both still available in the shop. The bad news is you're going to pay some steep shipping as this shop is in Hungary. So let's delve in and check out these shop exclusives!

A Box Indied, January 2016
Good evening friends! Long time no talk! Sorry for going silent, I really didn't mean to and thought I'd be able to jump right back in to blogging (amongst other things) but when I got back from vacation I found myself pretty jet-lagged for a whole week. On top of trying to get a handle on laundry and the regular schedule (running, soccer practice and games, basketball, taxi mom-life, school, etc...) I found myself a bit overwhelmed. But the laundry piles have been put away, the Christmas decorations are packed up, the house is back to is clean-ish state that I can deal with and I can now get back to the old blog. Phew! So please accept my apology for sharing this one late - so late in fact that it's no longer available. But I figured I would share it anyways since I do have the February box on the way to me and well, I hate being behind on things so it just won't feel right to share that one and not this one. And with that we can all take a gander at the January A Box Indied collection. Hopefully you were able to snag on of these - not only are they great winter colors, but there are also some fabulous shades for Valentines Day! Let's jump in and check it out!

Colors by Llarowe Winter Jellies/Crellies
Good afternoon dears! It feels like the calm before the storm this weekend. I know I need to get potatoes and things for side dishes, but the thought of going to the grocery store has me wanting to crawl back under my covers! If I wait longer I know it'll be worse! As will the everything to be done next week up until Thanksgiving. And then after that the malls and stores will all be jam packed until Christmas Eve. I love the holiday season, but I can do with out the added hustle and bustle. The fact that I've had 2 lazy weekends in a row with no plans has really made me appreciate being home in the peace and quiet (as much as it can be peaceful or quiet with 3 littles running around). So I'm about to get my hair did, darkened up but but I wanted to share this post with you right away as these jellies and crellies from Colors by Llarowe will be releasing tomorrow (11/23) into the core collection. If you weren't in the know, the Winter collection will also be launching tomorrow and you can see my post and pictures HERE. So let's jump in and check out these lovely polishes!

Colors by Llarowe Winter 2015
Good evening! Hopefully it's not too late for you lovelies...but I completely understand if you are already headed to bed for your beauty rest. My day has been full of blog stuff, mostly prepping, and I'll be doing some swatching soon. But I just had dinner and am about to start up a pumpkin pie/cheesecake bar desert for a potluck tomorrow. So I decided to take a little rest while things digest and enjoy the fireplace for a few. I figured it was a good time for you to get comfy and hunker down for a long post! Tonight I have the Colors by Llarowe Winter 2015 collection on my blog. This is a 12-piece collection, almost all holo, definitely all gorgeous. The Winter Collection will be available for pre-order on 11/23 from 12pm to 8pm MDT. These will be $12 USD each. Now grab your cocoa (or coffee, or tea, or water, or wine) and let's jump in to the post!

Colors by Llarowe Amarena
Good morning dears! Doesn't October just seem to be flying long? Way too fast for me! I don't even have all my kids costumes yet. Eeep! I am going as a witch and with all the gorgeous polish coming out at least I know I'll have fabulous nails! Point in case, this group custom Colors by Llarowe called Amarena! I don't believe this polish is available any longer but you can get in on the current and future customs by joining the Indie Polish Lovers United group on Facebook! And if Facebook groups aren't your thing, there are loads of jaw-dropping, gorgeous shades available in the CbL shop!
*nothing to disclose*
Amarena is inspired by the small, dark Italian cherry of the same name. The amarena cherry is usually dripping in syrup and used on desserts. Yummeh. I think this color is stunning and really does capture the look of the sticky, sweet fruit. Amarena is a deep red/burgundy base full of gold shimmer and tiny flakes. The formula was fan-flipping-tastic! Leah Ann really makes fabulous, opaque polish and this is a prime example. Amarena could easily have been 1 coat, but I used 2 for optimal depth and color richness. I finished with a layer of topcoat.

Colors by Llarowe Go Faster Collection (partial collection review)
Good morning lovelies! Today is the kids first day back to school! Yay preschool, 1st and 4th grade! I swear I'm afraid to blink because the next thing I know I'll be sending kids off to college! Sniff sniff tear. Let's distract me today with this post full of gorgeous polish from Colors by Llarowe. Actually the Go Faster collection is Limited Edition and is only available on Harlow & Co right now and it's selling out fast so if you love these shades ya best hurry on over and pick a few up! Go Faster was created as a benefit collection to support Llarowe's close friend with a love for racing! There re 6 polishes in the Go Faster collection, I have 4 to share with you. Alright, let's check them out!
*press sample*
Colors by Llarowe Go Faster is available on: Harlow & Co
The first polish I have to share with you is Fast Girls. This is a fabulous hot pink polish full of purple shimmer. It had a jelly like finish that was sheer on the first coat but built up to a perfectly bright neon pink. I used 4 coats of Fast Girls and a layer of topcoat.
*indirect natural light*
Girls Shift Faster is a stunning soft lavender purple full of a shifty shimmer. I see mostly red or a vibrant pink. It is beautiful! The formula and application were both amazing, creamy and very opaque. I used 2 coats of Girls Shift Faster for perfect coverage. I finished with a layer of topcoat.
*indirect natural light*
Life in the Fast Lane is a total looker! Just check out this berry-magenta jelly full of purple and pink microglitters. Life in the Fast Lane had a nice squishy formula that built up great in a few coats. Application was easy peasy. I would suggest letting each coat dry completely so you don't get spots that are lumpy and uneven. I used 3 coats of Life in the Fast Lane and 1 layer of topcoat.
*indirect natural light*
I saved my favorite for last, Need For Speed. Everyone NEEDS Need For Speed. It's a slap you in the face gorgeous black holo full of coppery-red shimmer and a blue flame. This baby is full coverage in 1 coat. 1 perfect coat. I finished it with a layer of topcoat. Seriously I should just stop gabbing so you can appreciate the beauty just from looking.
