Colors by Llarowe

Continued after the jump...




I love smaller, well-rounded collections and this one fits the bill. Four polishes that are very diverse.

So let's jump right in with, what else, my favorite!

OABTRAD (Orchids Are Better Than Roses Any Day) is an orchid holographic. The shade is a rich pink/magenta and the holo is a loose linear. No issues with formula or application. Two coats and no top coat for the photos.

Artificial lighting...





Sunlight...





Indirect natural lighting...

Bless Your Wicked Little Heart is a red jelly sparkle polish and man does it ever sparkle. I think it made my camera cross-eyed. Great formula - over-the-top-sparkle. Two coats with one coat of top coat.

Artificial lighting...





Sunlight...






Indirect natural lighting...

Single Ladies is a black jelly-based polish with loads of holographic micro-glitter and red sparks. It's on the sheer side as far as the jelly base so you can see on the photos that it's thinner at the tips of my nails. You can really only see that in the photos, not in real life. But it's great alone in two coats (as I'm showing here) or layered over black. No issues with formula or application. One coat of top coat makes it perfectly smooth to the touch.

Artificial lighting...




Sunlight...




Indirect natural lighting...





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sweetest Thing is a blurple (blue-purple) crelly with a violet purple glow and red, green, copper and blue shimmers/sparks. Again, no issues with formula or application at all. Two coats and one coat of top coat for the photos.

Artificial lighting...





Fading sun...






Indirect natural lighting...

And there you have them! What do you think of this collection? Favorites? My favorite is OABTRAD, of course. It had a fantastic color and just the right amount of holo.

    2. I was looking for mentions of OABTRAD and have just seen your response from over a couple years ago... I am so sorry, I think it came across wrong, but I didn't mean it that way, about things being sent to you for free. I literally meant I wished I could just receive all CbLs sent to me bc they are all so pretty, like a standing order/auto pay.
