Rockjewel telling no lies with Colors By Llarowe The Great Pretender

I was a bit hesitant about this polish. I'd seen some swatches and they were beautiful, but still thought it might not be that different and special. But I still ordered it, need to make the most of the shipping cost :-)

And it is very beautiful! I couldn't capture the deep shimmer in my pictures, but it's there for sure! 

The color is a deep red, leaning to maroon. As said the shimmer is deep, it looks like more than the two coats that were needed for opacity. 
Application was ok. First coat very difficult to get even, but I applied a rich second layer that smoothed out the bald spots.

Rockjewel tips the fez for stunning Colors by Llarowe Young Turks

I tried once, it sold out. I tried a second time, same thing. I finally did get this polish, on the third try, happy as a kid :-)
Who can blame me for being persistent, it is really stunning! It is a clean turquoise with a fantastic linear holo, and a kind of satin shimmer. 

The formula is really good! Two easliy applied coats is enough, and the polish ends up where it is supposed too, not too runny, not too gooey.

Rockjewel drinks Mojito with Colors by Llarowe Mojito

Mojito is one of my favorite drinks. What's not to like about it? Rum, lime and mint leaves, really fresh! Of course I must have a polish with the name Mojito, especially since it is as beautiful as this is, by Colors by Llarowe


The formula is good, two easily applied coats is perfect. As always I used Sally Hansen Hard as Nails as base coat and Orly Sec'N Dry as top coat.

These pictures were taken outdoors, not something I do very often. I normally take my pictures in the evening so it is not often I have this good conditions, a lovely sunny day.
