August Is Indie Month Day -- It's My Birthday, I'll Wear What I Want To!

Only a sort of half indie today! It's my damn birthday and I'm gonna wear the colors I want! Lol!!

China Glaze For Audrey with Colors by Llarowe Leather & Lace as an accent for the thumb and ring finger.

This is two coats of For Audrey, one coat of Leather & Lace on the nails applicable and Duri 2 as top coat (I smell another Duri review coming).

For Audrey was unfortunately a little thick and goopy - I discussed with the company I purchased from and they believe I may have gotten a bad bottle and are sending me a new one. Leather and Lace was gorgeous as always, though it did alter the color just a little bit.

For Audrey is a perfect Tiffany blue, it is exactly that shade and I absolutely love it!

August is Indie Month Day 11!

The day I've been waiting for! Colors by Llarowe, one of my favorite brands of indie polish.

Today I've got three coats of I'll Be Sea-ing You from the Emily's Imagination Collection on. With one coat of HK Girl top coat.

I've included a few more pictures than usual as I was trying to capture the different faces of this gorgeous turquoise-blue jelly full of pink-green shimmer.

The photo in sunlight shows this off the best, this was the face I saw most often, with either purple or green shimmer depending on which way the hand was moving. There was some visible nail line in certain lighting but usually it was not visible.

I wore this for four days with minimal tip wear and removed it because Toga! Toga! Toga! arrived and I needed to put that on right away. This polish is absolutely gorgeous an I can't wait to wear it again. The application was super smooth, dried quickly and evenly (even with 3 coats). The only downside to these types of shimmer polishes is they are a bit of a pain to remove.

NOTD - Fun With Toppers

I have so many untrieds right now I've been doing different colors on each hand. This one is so striking. I wish that I could truly capture the sheen of Hurt No Living Thing but you get a hint of it in the pictures I've chosen. I think it might be time to build a light box. I'm thinking about doing a 30 day challenge in the near future - I want to use more of my polishes.

Anyway, on to my NOTD!
Left hand is Colors by Llarowe Smokin' In The Boys Room - a gorgeous smoke grey jelly that went on very smooth and evened out to an opaque finish in 3 coats.
Right hand is Colors by Llarowe Liquor Is Quicker - a very beautiful purple hinting blue crelly that went on smooth and was opaque in 3 coats.
I have topped my thumb and ring fingers with Colors by Llarowe Leather and Lace in one thin coat - this is a gorgeous linear holographic topcoat that adds amazing shimmer and shine with minimal greying.
The other fingers are topped with one coat of A England Hurt No Living Thing which is a sheer smokey color with pink-purple shifting shimmer.
All topped with HK Girl the new topcoat I have been using and loving after hearing so much about it. It certainly does live up to it's name and I will definitely be purchasing more of this!

Colors by Llarowe - Bring Us The Girl

Colors by Llarow Harlow & Co Exclusive - Bring Us The Girl

This is an absolutely gorgeous pink holographic. Application was very smooth and only required one coat for opacity. There is some texture to it as it is a bit of a glitter style formula. In the end I used 3 light coats of top coat for a smooth glassy finish. In this photo there is only 1 coat. This polish was particularly forgiving to mistakes as one finger was dinged and easily corrected, I do love that about it and any polish that offers that little feature in general.

This is my very first pink nail polish, I am not a pink girl. I am however a huge Bioshock fangirl and could not say no. I'm glad I bought it, I will happily wear this pink when the occasion calls for it, though I don't think it has turned me into a pink girl.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this if you enjoy a peachy pink with some serious holographics. Gorgeous, and one coat. Five stars!
