Cadillacquer Have A Killer Day

Today I have a little Cadillacquer to show you all, I honestly have so many of these still to show, they have been right up there on my wishlist polishes for ages and I have so many more I want to get.  Madeleine just knows how to make a great polish, thats for sure!

Have a Killer Day is no exception and sadly has not been discontinued, buutt you can still pick it up on the Cadillacquer site, in the Sale section for an added bonus...

HaKD has a light grayish blue base, blue micro flakies, neon pink squares, small matte purple hex glitter and matt pink hex glitter. Whew, this polish has a lot going on, but at the same time, doesn't look too busy.  Oh and I want to add here that HaKD is from the Dexter collection, another of my favourite shows, not only does Madeleine make great polishes, more often than not, they are inspired by things I already love...

This is one coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and no top coat.  I did add a topcoat after I took my pictures, but I didn't get a chance to take pictures of it like this.



I loved this one, even being light and with the pink and all, I still really enjoyed this combination.  I have so many Cadillacquers in my collection that are not normally my usual style, but I still love them all the same.

As I said, this polish is now discontinued but you can still pick it up in the sale on the Cadillacquer site so don't miss out on the chance to grab this one!  Cadillacquers can also be purchased from Llarowe, Harlow & Co and Rainbow Connection.

Thanks for looking <3 xx

Colors by Llarowe Fall 2014 - Obsessed with Marilyn, Elegance and Mystique

Today we have the last 3 I have from the CbL Fall collection.  I have shown you 6 over the last 2 days, there are 18 in total in this collection so please see the CbL social medias for swatches of the others, as you need to sell all of these, as as always, Leah Ann has created a great collection that have so many 'must haves'

Now, on that point, I can see that this next polish will be one of those...Obsessed with Marilyn is a deep blood red holo and it just so pretty.  Once I am done wearing My Broken Down Crop Duster, this is next on my list as I really did do a little 'Ooohhh' when applying this.  This is 2 coats.



Then we have Elegance which is a black jelly base with gold flakies and various shimmers in gold, pink, copper and red.  This is 3 coats.



And last but not least we have Mystique, which when I see the name I feel it should be blue like X-Men but thats just my geek coming out.... But nonetheless, this Mystique is a deep mushroom semi chrome with gold and khaki shimmer.  This is 2 coats.



Again I was super happy with all 3 of these but I think Marilyn is a clear front runner for favourite, but the complex little jelly and chrome were not far behind.

These are launching today on the Llarowe site and they will be done as a pre-order so  keep an eye on  the Llarowe FB for update.

Thanks for looking <3

Colors by Llarowe Fall 2014 - My Broken Down Crop Duster, Swear Jar and Sophistication

Today I have 3 of the upcoming CbL Fall collection to show you, I have 6 to show and since the launch is tomorrow, I wanted to try and get them shown before then. I will have the other post up tomorrow with the other 3.

But onto today post we have 3 polishes with different finishes.

First I knew I had to show you My Broken Down Crop Duster, no joke....I actually did a little gasp when I applied this one.

MBDCD is a blackened brown linear holo, and when I had done swatching, I had to put this one back one, and I have been wearing it for the last couple of days.  This is 2 coats.



Then we have Swear Jar which is a teal base with a gold shimmer.  Now it seems to look very green  under my natural daylight bulb, I think this may be due to the fact that the shimmer is much more green/gold at these angles.  This is 2 coats.



Lastly we have Sophistication which is described as a mushroom chrome polish.  Again this seems to pull an ever so slightly more green tone on me than I have seen in some other pictures....I don't know if I have a funny skin tone or something, ha.  This is 3 coats.



I was very happy with all 3 of these but I think MBDCD is my favourite, I do love a nice chrome and I love a good shimmer even more but that holo just stole my heart.

These are launching tomorrow on the Llarowe site and as far as I know, they will be done as a pre-order but check the Llarowe FB for updates on this.

Colors by Llarowe - I Love Candy Corn Halloween Trio

I have for you today a little set from CbL, it is called 'I Love Candy Corn' and is a limited collection for Halloween.

The three polishes in this collection are:

- Punkin' which is a bright orange jelly holo polish.
- Witchipoo which is a another jelly holo but is bright yellow this time
- What Knockers! which is a gunmetal grey with orange flakies


Firstly I will show your Punkin', this is 2 coats.


Then Witchipoo, this is 3 coats.


I don't think I have encountered a jelly holo before, and I must say I was impressed.  I love the finish a jelly gives, and really don't mind a few extra coats to get that, but these were actually okay coat wise.  These were only 2 and 3 coats, and the nail line shows up more under my light than the eye would see, so maybe another coat of each would have done the trick.

Lastly, here is What Knockers! which the flakies were a little camera shy in....


And it wouldn't be Halloween without some scary art, but since I am not that great at the free-handing, you get some Halloweeny stickers.....




Ah well, can't say I didn't try, ha.....

All I will say is these are great polishes, I am so glad I have all 3, but especially the orange as it is so Halloweeny and I have nothing like it at all.

These will go on sale on 10 October and will be available individually or as a set, and again, these are limited so if you want these, add the above date to your diary....

CbL polishes can be purchased from the official site, and I am not sure at this point when/if the set will be available to other stockists.
