Colors By Llarowe Y U All Up In My Grill

I have for you today another Colors By Llarowe which is a glitter this time.

This one is called Y U All Up In My Grill and is a gold and silver holo glitter in a clear base.  This was actually so difficult for me to photograph due to how blingy (I don't ever use this word, but couldn't think of another way to describe it) the polish was. 

It was also very dense glitter and coverage was amazing with just the one coat, and even despite of this application was not tricky at all.

This is my previous mani of Bubs Don't Make Bubbas with 1 coat of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Colors by Llarowe are super popular and do sell out quickly so keep an eye on the Llarowe Facebook and official site for restock information. (at the time of writing this post, this polish is in stock but may not be for long!)

a-england Encore Margot

Today I have for you all the first of four polishes from the new a-england Ballerina Collection.

You have probably been seeing these around a lot, as I know I have, and love them each time I have seen them. 

a-england polishes seem to be a bigger and bigger hit with each collection and this is due to the standard of the polish and the fact you know each polish in the collection is going to be stunning before you even see it.

So the first I will show you is Encore Margot which is a pale icy silvery blue polish and as always with a-england application was perfect and if you are careful you could get away with just one coat.

The holo in this polish seemed almost linear and the effect in sunlight (when it makes an appearance here) is so pretty.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

I love this polish, and wore alone when I first got the collection through, and them again with a-england Merlin over the top for my Christmas night out at the weekend (and am still wearing it) and have received so many compliments.  I cannot wait to show you the rest of the collection either and I hope you all like seeing them as much as I like wearing them.

a-englands can be purchased from the official site if you are in the UK, or Llarowe for International customers.  You can find a list of all the a-england stockists on the site.

Vast And Vague is a grey/blue base with white, grey and green square glitter and also has little glass flecks in it too to make it even more interesting.

Color Club Wicker Park, Darling Diva Seduction and Different Dimension Mystified

I have for you today 3 great polishes I used in a layering.

Now the first was a great surprise to me, a baby pink that I loved when on.

Color Club is a brand I actually have a few sets of but have never actually tried yet, but will be soon as this pink creme was great to apply.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight and 2 of the polish and without topcoat I'm sure.

1 color club wicker park (1)

1 color club wicker park (2)

I then topped the above polish with another new to me brand called Darling Diva, this is Seduction which is pink/gold shimmery polish with a holo effect which may be more noticeable when over a dark colour but I loved how this combo looked when wearing it.

This is the above with 1 coat of Seduction and again I don't think a topcoat was used.

2 darling diva polish seduction over color club wicker park (1)

I then decided to just go all out with the layers and add some glitter, in the form of a Different Dimension polish called Mystified which is made up of pink, gold, brown and lavender glitters in a clear base.

This is the above with 1 coat of Mystified and 1 of the Shield.

Now I was very happy with the end up of this one, even with all the pink and I hope you like it too.

Colors by Llarowe Dirty Diana

I have for you all today another polish from the Colors by Llarowe Michael Jackson collection.  This one is Dirty Diana.

Dirty Diana is a very holo magenta polish.  Application was great and coverage was good even with just one coat.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Now if the colour is not enough to make you want the polish, I have one last picture to show you.

This is Dirty Diana after 1 week of wear, now my average week includes nothing too heavy but I am typing all day with work, and then general housework etc etc and there was not a chip in sight, and barely even any tip wear.

Different Dimension Merry Go Round

Here today for you all is a polish from a brand that is new to me, Different Dimension and this polish is called Merry Go Round.

Merry Go Round is blue, pink black and silver glitters in a white base.  The description on the site advises best to wear over white so I may try that but I also liked how it looked alone.

Now unfortunately I didn't realise it was a glow in the dark polish until after I had worn so there are no pictures of that, it but that is a great little thing to look forward to next time.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.
