Winter Mani with China Glaze Glistening Snow and Colors by Llarowe The Devil Wears Polish

Ahhhh, you smell that?  It's Winter,  it's finally cooling down, the Christmas decorations have officially come up from the basement and it's time to have a schedule packed full of holiday things to do with the family.  Now if only my dern kitchen would be up and running...I want to bake Christmas cookies and cakes and pies!  Well today we had our annual family portrait day.  We got all dressed up, the kids wore red Leo and I wore black.  Everyone looked great.  You get to see the pretty nails I did, not that they will show up in the pictures but I will know they looked pretty (and now so will you).

I started this off with China Glaze Glistening Snow.  Glistening Snow is a silvery holo glitter that builds up to opacity on it's own.  It's very sparkly and perfect!  I love it.  I used 3 coats.  The formula was really smooth flowing and applied easily.  The glitter spread nicely and didn't clump or glob up anywhere.  It was a little topcoat thirsty so I ended up using 2 coats and could have used another.  I then used Colors by Llarowe The Devil Wear Polish (I know - again!  I love this color!).  The Devil Wears Polish is a stunning red crelly that's full of red holo and iridescent magenta sparkles.  You can see my recent post on The Devil Wears Polish HERE.  I used 2 coats and when they were fully dry I applied a cute sparkly snowflake decal...adorable!  I used 2 layers of topcoat on my accent nails to ensure the decals stayed on.

Colors by Llarowe The Devil Wears Polish

Good morning!  Ok now that Thanksgiving is behind us I can start posting holiday polish.  Not that I have an over abundance of holiday themed polish right now but I'm sure I can rustle something up...like in my humongo pile of untrieds!  I might as well start with one of the best reds I've ever put on my nails!  This beauty is The Devil Wears Polish by Colors by Llarowe.  CbL has some amazing polish, I adore the holos and have tried and liked the few shimmers and jellies I've tried.  This is the first crelly I have put on by this brand and I am seriously in lust with it.  Before I jump into the details here is the info you need to purchase Colors by Llarowe and follow Llarowe on social media sites:  website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.  

The Devil Wears Polish is amazing.  That should be enough said, but I'm wordy so I will say more.  It has a stellar crelly formula that applied like a dream.  It was smooth flowing and covered amazingly in 2 coats.  Really it applied itself...I sat back and watched with my jaw on the floor.   TDWP is loaded with red holo sparkle and a sparse smattering of iridescent purple sparkles.  It is SO sparkly and blingy, my pictures only show the blowy effect.  Trust me when I say this is a very distracting polish.  TDWP is topcoat hungry, I noticed a slight textured feel on my nails after the 1st layer of topcoat dried so I applied a 2nd coat.  The topcoat also helps keep TDWP super glossy and shiny.  This polish is no longer available on Llarowe but there are so many other Colors by Llarowe I am certain you will find something you love.  *These pictures were taken indoors.
