Colors by Llarowe: Doctor Who-Inspired Flakies Collection - Quick and Dirty Sneak Peek

Press Sample 
*These products are Cruelty Free 



Good evening. (Not sure why I always hear/say that in Alfred Hitchcock's voice, but I do.)

Tonight I have a "quick and dirty" sneak peek of the new Colors by Llarowe Doctor Who-Inspired Flakies Collection. By that, I mean one-finger swatches with one coat of each flakie polish over black, no top coat on any of them and no real review. I will be doing a full post with "real" swatches soon.

LAUNCHING DECEMBER 15th, 2014: Pre-Order
NOT Limited Edition




There are 16 Flakies, 1 creme (black for the perfect undies) and 1 jelly (oxblood red) for making flakie sandwiches!

Literary Lacquers Gloss48 Duo: Catherine and Heathcliff

Press Sample 
*These products are Cruelty Free 


I'm baaaaaack! I never considered how difficult it would be to polish your nails with a dislocated shoulder! But I'm coming back with a great Duo, though.

Tonight I have the Literary Lacquers Gloss48 Duo: Catherine and Heathcliff. Gloss48 held a "Show Us Your Indies" contest, and the winner, Amanda, had the opportunity to work with Amy from Literary Lacquers to create this new duo inspired by Wuthering Heights.

Literary Lacquers Gloss48 Duo
Catherine and Heathcliff



Let me just tell you right now that Wuthering Heights is one of the first movies I remember seeing and falling in love with. I thought Merle Oberon must be one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen and Laurence Olivier was so brooding and handsome. There's one scene I've never forgotten: "Goodbye, my wild, sweet Cathy" and "he's with her, they've only just begun to live" as Heathcliff and Cathy strolled hand-in-hand across the Moors.

And then I read the book.

Um, I would ALWAYS recommend if you plan on seeing the movie, never read the book first. I accidentally did Wuthering Heights in the right order. The book was SO much more. More detailed. More involved. Darker. And the ending was SO different! I loved the movie and I know I wouldn't have if I'd read the book first. And as I read the book, I pictured Geraldine Page, Donald Crisp, Larry and Merle. This is the movie that made me fall in love with movies and the book that made me fall in love with literature. So naturally I couldn't be MORE excited to be reviewing this Duo.
