CrowsToes Nail Color - "9 Realms" Swatches Part 3

Happy Friday! Today I am excited to show you three more polishes from the Crows Toes 9 Realms Collection.


All photos shown with two coats of color and topcoat


Vanaheim: Gold to green-blue color shifter with coordinating color shifting glitters. Vanaheim, located within Asgard, is the home of the fertility gods.


Video Swatch will be uploaded to Instagram later today


Muspelheim: Blue-purple to Red-orange color shifter with both coordinating & contrasting color shifting glitters. Muspelheim is the home of the fire giants and demons., the realm of fire in the south guarded by the giant Sint.


Video Swatch will be uploaded to Instagram later today


Nidavellir: Teal to magenta color shifter with coordinating color shifting glitters. Nidavellir is the home of the dwarves, the master craftsmen of the realms who were responsible for creating many a magical item used by the gods of Asgard. Thors' hammer, Odins' ring and Staff are a few that come to mind.


Video Swatch will be uploaded to Instagram later today


These three polishes are really unique and had great color shift that I had trouble capturing on camera. These polishes can be purchased at llarowe.com  but are currently out of stock (sad panda) but hopefully they will be restocked soon!


Which of these three shades is your favorite?

OPI - Next Stop... The Bikini Zone


I recently won the OPI Brazil mini set from a giveaway, and today I'll be sharing with you Next Stop... The Bikini Zone. I actually wore this mani for a couple of days, which is rare, just because I really liked the color.





I am wearing two coats of color with topcoat. This shade has a little bit of everything, purple, duochrome, shimmers, etc. I had a hard time photographing it thought, my flash really gave it a gnarly look.

It feels weird that tomorrow is Easter and I haven't really done any Easter nails; but like I said, April has been somewhat crazy so I'm just trying to keep up with having posts :)

Do you own any shades from the Brazil Collection? If so, which ones?

Colors By Llarowe - Swatches & Review


I was recently contact by Llarowe to see if I would like to try some Colors By Llarowe; of course I said yes! Today I will be sharing with you 6 pretty shades created by Leah Ann herself. First I will share with you the swatches and finish up with my feedback.


Rizzo: Baby pink linear holo




Vamp: Deep red holo with copper flash




Oxen: Deep oxblood scattered holo




Holly: Multi chrome holographic that shifts green/blue/purple/grey/reddish pink 




Sizzlin' Liz: Royal navy jelly base with intense copper/orange shimmer




Xmas 2013: Clear base topper with micro red glitter, micro gold holo glitter, gold dot glitter, red hex glitter and sparse green bell glitter  (Shown over Sally Hansen - Parrot)




Overall, the quality and application of all 6 of these polishes was flawless. Just what I am looking for in an indie polish. In all of the pictures, I am wearing two coats of color without any topcoat so as not to distort the colors or glitters or holos. All the colors are really nice in their own right but if I had to pick my two favorites, I would have to pick Vamp and Holly.

You can purchase these polishes and more on Llarowe's website.
