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.

This is such a great polish, I am so glad I picked this one up :D

This one is sold out at the moment but keep an eye on the Llarowe site and Facebook for restock information. CbL polishes can also be purchased from Harlow & Co.

Thanks for looking <3

Cadillacquer Seek The Fire

Today I have for you all a stunning little Cadillacquer from the newest collection, which is based on the PS3 game, The Last of Us, which I plan to buy eventually.

Seek the Fire was a must for me out of this collection, not just as it is blue, but the red contrasting glitters just make it so eyecatching!

If you follow me on Instagram you will have already seen a quick picture of this on me, I was literally just heading out the door and had to do my nails before I did,, and 2 quick coats of this baby were just perfect for what I wanted to wear.

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

It is no secret that I have loved all of the Cadillacquer polishes I have tried and this one is no exception.

Cadillaquers can be purchased from the official site, Llarowe, Harlow & Co or Rainbow Connection.

Thanks for looking <3 xx

Colors by Llarowe NMETIAC

Today we have another of the polishes from the Llarowe Spring collection, this is only of the last I have to show you all, and I hope you have loved seeing them as much as I have loved wearing them and showing them to you.

NMETIAC (Nobody Makes Emily Twerk in the Corner) is an aqua green base with silver, gold and other iridescent glitters.

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

I then decided to try 1 coat of Leather and Lace, also by Llarowe, over the top of NMETIAC as since I got L&L I want to holo all the polishes.

So this is the above with 1 coat of L&L and 1 of the Shield.

Keep an eye on the Llarowe site and Facebook for restock information, and I know some of the polishes, this being one of them, are noting coming back after they are sold out. CbL polishes can also be purchased from Harlow & Co.

Thanks for looking <3

a-england Excalibur Renaissance and Hurt No Living Thing

Today I have a post to show you that I am really excited about, I will warn you know, there are a lot of pictures, but not one the same as I wanted to show you so many different things.

This post not only marks the return of the wonderful a-england Excalibur, now Excalibur Renaissance, it also debuts the new Heavenly Quote, Hurt No Living Thing, which is inspired by the lovely poem by Christina Geogina Rossetti.

Firstly I will show you Excalibur Renaissance, which is essentially just the re-branded and re-launched original Excalibur, but that does not make it any less beautiful.

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

Now we have Hurt No Living Thing which is a great addition to the current a-england line up, and joins the existing Heavenly Quotes.  It is a lovely muted polish that shifts between grey and dusty pink, and the shimmer in this one is just so amazing.

It is quite a sheer polish, so is good for layering, but also looks so pretty and delicate alone.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 4 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Then we have both polishes together, I used a fan brush dipped in Excalibur and dragged it over the existing mani of Hurt No Living Thing.

Now, I wanted to show you how Hurt No Living Thing looked over several different shades so picked a few out of my a-england family to use.

I also wanted Excalibur Renaissance to make another appearance and since I recently found out just how good it is for nail art, I decided to use it this way.

Each picture is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the base colour with 1 of Hurt No Living Thing on 3 fingers.  On my ring finger I just left the base alone - which also shows how Hurt No Living Thing changes the base colour - and done some nail art using Excalibur Renaissance, please don't let my very basic skills take away from how good it is at coverage....

I then added 1 coat of the Shield to seal it all in, and noticed no streaking from the art which I have had issues with before when using other colours.

First here is Hurt No Living Thing over Guinevere, with Excalibur hearts.

Now over Briar Rose with Stripes.

Then over Bridal Veil with some sponging.

And now over Elaine with some crosses.

And lastly over Her Rose Adagio, which due to the light base, I didn't think it would show up Excalibur alone too well so I did some Camelot dots and then Excalibur on top.

Wow, that was a long one, thanks so much if you made it to here.

I hope I have shown you how versatile both of these polishes are, and I know I will be using both often.  I especially love how Hurt No Living Thing looks over dark colours and I am sure there are many many more combinations to be tried.

Both of these polishes are now available on the official a-england site, if you are in the UK, and if not, a-englands can be purchased from Llarowe or visit here for a full list of international stockists.

Thanks so much for looking <3
