Colors by Llarowe Summer 2014 - Connie's Nosy Neighbour

Here we are with my first solo post on the CbL new collection, Summer 2014.

Now I hope you are all sitting comfortably as there are lot of polishes to show from this collection, I believe there are 35 in total, Leah Ann sure goes all out with her collections, and I am sure not one of us really complains as each of them are always stunning,

The first one I am showing you is Connie's Nosy Neighbour, again it was luck of the draw which got shown first as I couldn't decide!  This polish is just like the nextdoor neighbour to Connie, You Saucy Minx from the Spring Collection.  The Nosy Neighbour however, has a royal blue base with a stunning pink shimmer.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and no topcoat.

Keep an eye on the Llarowe facebook, the CbL facebook and the Llarowe site for news about the next re-stock of the Summer polishes as this is the best way to hear these being announced.  CbL polishes can also be purchased from the Harlow & Co site and again check facebook to find out when you can pick these up.

Thanks so much for looking as always <3

Colors By Llarowe Summer 2014 - Nice Melons and My Own Private Paradise - with some MoYou Stamping

Today I have a double whammy of new arrivals for you.

Yesterday I got an amazing parcel with some of the new Colors by Llarowe Summer 2014 polishes and had to get trying them straight away.  I also got some more Cadillacquer polishes and my very first stamping kit so yesterday was a great day <3

I will be showing you all of the above of the next little while but first I wanted to show you what I actually have on my nails.  Last night I did my nails with one of the new CbL polishes, Nice Melons which is a neon peach.orange linear holographic polish, I then painted CbL My Own Private Paradise in a diagonal over the top.  This polish is a softened neon hot pinky orchid linear holographic polish.  I forgot to take pictures of this alone on my big camera but did take a quick shot and put it in Instagram last night.

I then decided tonight to try my hands with the stamping.  Now I have always been so intrigued by stamping and wanted to try it out but did not really know where to start etc so when I was contacted by the manufacturers of MoYou Nails, I jumped at the chance to try them out.

Firstly here is a picture of the kit I received.

I picked plate 105 which has bows and hearts on it, and decided to start out slow with one of the simple heart designs, the one on the bottom right here.

For those who aren't familiar with stamping (like me....) you remove the film over the designs then paint the polish - in the case I used the MoYou Special Black polish - over the design you want to use.  You then use the scraper to remove the polish not in the design area and then place the stamper over this and then press onto the nail.

Et voila!  I was so impressed with how easy it was to use and how well the design transferred for me.

So this is my first little heart stamping attempt over 2 amazing new CbL polishes.  I don't want to take this off but have so many new polishes to try out.....

I am so unbelievably impressed with firstly, how these base colours look together, and also with how pretty the little hearts turned out.

You will be seeing so many more of the new CbL polishes on here over the coming weeks and I'm sure this won't be the last stamping I do either.

Keep an eye on the Llarowe facebook, the CbL facebook and the Llarowe site for news about the next re-stock of the Summer polishes as this is the best way to hear these being announced.  CbL polishes can also be purchased from the Harlow & Co site and again check facebook to find out when you can pick these up.

The MoYou plates and polishes can be purchased from the site here and you can follow them on facebook too.

Thanks so much for looking as always <3

Cadillacquer Serendipity

Today we have another Cadillacquer polish which is sadly discontinued.

I am so glad I have this one in my collection, it is one of those amazing contrasting coloured base and glitter polishes that Cadillacquer does so well.

Serendipity has a light blue base with berry glitters, and a lot of them!

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

Cadillacquers can also be purchased from Llarowe, Harlow & Co and Rainbow Connection.

Thanks for looking <3 xx

Colors by Llarowe Hellcat

Today we have a pretty I picked up from Llarowe recently, Hellcat.

Hellcat is a purple duochrome polish with flakies through it, but it also has such a great color shift which I tried to capture the best I could.

The first 2 pictures are 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.  The last 3 are the same but with Nails Inc Matte topcoat instead.
