Colors By Llarowe It's Shocking! That A Girly Bits Stripper Has Been Sleeping in my Bed!

Afternoon Guys!


I hope everyone is having a good week!  My week so far has been pretty amazing. Like I mentioned last Friday, my favourite person in the whole wide world is here right now, so it has made for a pretty awesome sauce week!

I couldn't stand to let a whole week pass with no post, so I managed to throw this together! Since, I am pretty short on time though, I will make this quick, so let's get right to it today!

This pretty lovely is Colors By Llarowe It's Shocking. I believe it came out this past December. It is classified as a scattered holographic polish, but honestly, it is so tightly packed, It looks linear. It is on the softer side of holo, especially with how intense CBL holo's normally are, but where it lacks intense holo, it seriously makes up for it, in gorgeous eye searing, hot pink. It was like most CBL polishes in being a 1 coater, however in my pictures I did 2 out of habit. I am pretty sure you could stamp well with this polish, something I will have to try soon.  It is a tad on the thick side, but I have come to expect that from CBL polishes, and it is nothing that makes it hard to work with at all. 

I paired this with the stunning sparkly, awesome, Girly Bits A Stripper Has Been Sleeping in My Bed. This polish, just, wow...I SO wish it had photographed in all it's sparkly glory, I tried everything, even trekking around in my yard, and snapping sunshine pictures, and nothing, not a single image even came close to showing off just how sparkly this polish is.  You will just have to take my word for it. It is sparkly. Seriously, insanely, out of this world, sparkly!  

The chevrons, as always, were done with Nail Vinyls, which I am not even sure I still need to mention, since I do chevrons so often! :P It is all topped off with HK Girl,  Oh! and one thing to mention here, to smooth out the glitter polish, I used a coat of Poshe Fast Drying Base Coat, over the polish before I top coated. I know some people use Gelous, but honestly, I don't much care for the thickness that polish gives, I read somewhere on the interwebs, about Poshe working just as well, without the thickness, so I recently picked up a bottle and tried it out. I am very happy to say, it did work just as well, and without the thickness. If you are in the same boat I was, I highly recommend, trying out Poshe. 

Alright guys and gals, I have stayed longer then I should! The curse of someone who rambles as much as I do! :P Till next time Kittens! <3

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy Chevron Nail Art

Evening Guys!!


It has been really warm here, I mean really warm and humid, and very summer like, which of course led to this evenings mani. With the humid weather, I almost had no control, when I pulled out Flip Flop Fantasy, and Highlight of my Summer, and put them on my nails. These two polishes are some of my favourite neon shades, and every time I wear them I fall in love all over again.

Let's start with, I have  read over and over again how hard it is to photograph neon's, heard it repeated again  and again, how it makes your camera freak the f*ck out, but honestly, I didn't think it was that bad, I assumed it made it a little difficult, or that the colour would be a smidge off...Yeah, I was wrong, it made my camera go f*cking insane. I am still pleased with these images, despite some picture taking fail in terms of colour, and the weird freak out Highlight of my Summer had on camera,  I still think that they came out fairly decent. I just wanted to warn you all, that 1) neon's are a biotch to photograph, and 2) I hope you can forgive any minor imperfections, since I haven't really done much fightingwith  photographing of neon's. Alright back to the important things!

This was a pretty simple look, as I stated a couple of weeks ago, I am pretty certain chevrons are becoming my go-to thing on my nails, and I can honestly say I am totally okay with that, cause honestly, who doesn't love a good chevron!? 

To get this look, I started with a base of  China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy on my thumb, pointer, middle, and pinky, and a base of China Glaze Highlight of my Summer on my ring finger, once that was dry, I used nail vinyls on my ring finger and painted Flip Flop Fantasy over it.   The studs are from Born Pretty Store.  Like I said, easy peasy! 

I am so glad the warmer and more humid weather is finally starting to make an appearance here in Canadaland. Summer is my favourite season, and not only for the heat and the sun, but also cause I  adore summer polishes. I have a huge list already building in my head of the summer colours I want to put on, and so this nice weather better stick around.

Alright, guys and gals I think that covers it all for one evening.  Have a great weekend, and don't forget, when in doubt, chevron mani! Till next time Kittens! <3

piCture pOlish Instinct with Some Totes Cute Chevrons!

Heya Guys!


This morning I have a simple, yet classic chevron look to show off. I am starting to think, it is my go-to choice in nail art, when I am feeling unsure about what I want to do, uninspired, or just  plain in the mood for a chevron! I feel like, you can never really go wrong with a chevron mani to be honest, and since I am still recovering from this horrible, icky, sinus infection, I went with something tried and true for me!

To get this look, I simply grabbed Instinct, which is the most recent Picture Polish collab shade with @ohmygoshpolish, It is a super pretty robins egg blue, that almost glows from within. I will admit, when I first got this polish,  I thought it was a glow in the dark polish, it is not. I misunderstood, it glows, but only under black light. I just wanted to share that, since I have heard a few people think it was also glow in the dark, anyway, I painted, my pointer, pinky, and thumb with Instinct. I  then paired it with another PP shade, I used Totes from the new Urban Shades Collection. Totes, is a warm yellow, almost orange polish, however when I paired it with the blue, it mostly just looked orange on me! It isn't quite as bright as my pictures show, but it did end up looking more orange then yellow, once I added the blue chevrons.  I painted my middle, and ring finger with Totes, then once that was dry, I grabbed some awesome sauce Nail Vinyls and painted over Totes, with Instinct. I then simply top coated with KBShimmer Clearly On Top, and voila! I had an easy peasy chevron mani!


I really love both of these shades, and although Instinct isn't entirely unique to my collection, it is a really gorgeous, easy to work with polish. Now, as for Totes, I am in love! It is a super easy to work with yellow/orange polish that went on the nail like butter AND it is super unique to my collection. I am still not even sure weather I should be calling it orange, or yellow! How about yelange?? No....yeah, that is pretty bad! sorry, I couldn't help myself :P Both polishes are worn with 2 coats, except the chevrons, that was 1 coat. Instinct honestly would have been okay at one coat on my other nails, I just did a second coat out of habit, it is a fairly opaque polish.


Alright guys and gals, I think that mostly covers it for one day! What is your go-to mani when you are stuck, or uninspired?  Let me know, in the comments! Till next time Kittens! <3

Colors By Llarowe: Days of Our Polish Swatches with a Chevron Accent.

Hey Guys!


It's Friday! Got to love that the weekend is finally here!  You may have noticed that I did a major overhaul on the blog. I had been wanting to get a cleaner, more simple look on the blog for a while now, and I am so glad I finally put myself to work and did it! I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Today I have a mani, that  has previously shown up on my instagram, but I loved it enough, I thought that it deserved it's own post here as well. I have recently become a huge fan of Colors By Llarowe, that woman makes seriously amazing, in your face, easy application holographic polishes. If you haven't tried any of them yet, I seriously urge you to consider it, you won't be sorry!
