Dream Big

An indigo purple creme base with delicate but intense pink to gold to red shimmer.  

You're A Little Firecracker

A bright deepened fuchsia red multi chrome holo with a purple/blue flame that shifts from deep fuchsia to copper orange to bright fuchsia.

The Bluest Eyes In Texas

A bright milky turquoise blue creme base with intense gold shimmer and hints of gold to red/pink to green shimmer. 

She Sells Seashells

A bright pink leaning red linear holo with pink to lilac shimmer.

The Deep End (H)

A vivid turquoise based multi chrome that shifts from turquoise to green to blue to purple to pink with added holo sparkle. 

Just like all of my other Cbl shades, these are sure to please. The formulas are always easy to work with, self leveling and have a decent dry time. The shade range and finishes leaves something for everyone! My swatches show 2 coats of each with the exception of Radioactive, I chose to do 3 thin coats for opacity. My favorite would definitely be The Deep End Holo *swoon*!

The Spring/Summer 2017 collection will be available in her shop linked below on May 1st but will also be available to purchase on April 29th at the NY PolishCon!

 

Siren's Song

Siren's Song is a blurple linear holo with green/red/gold shifting glitter. And it's so beautiful! 

My swatch shows 2 coats of color and 1 coat of glossy top coat. The formula is amazing like most of CbL's shades. Self levels in two easy coats. Those tiny pops of glitter are amazing in that blurple holo base. I honestly can't get enough. 

You can grab this during the 24 hour preorder that starts February 1st at 12pm MST!

*Sent for swatching/review. All opinions are honest and 100% my own based on my experiences.

Today's post is a special one. It hits close to home and I'm thrilled to be able to bring these swatches to you today. 

Colors by Llarowe made this special shade for a man named Edward Ashbury. Ed is known to be a hard working man whose life goal was to take care of his family. He never asked anyone for anything and didn't need the luxuries in life as long as he could provide for those he loved. Sadly he was forced into early retirement when he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon and liver cancer. The family has also been taking care of their mother whose had chronic health issues for 10 years. Now they have the added stress of losing their home, Ed's dream is to live out his life there and to have the same for his dear wife. 

LeahAnn came up with some prototypes and Ed himself picked this shade! He admited knowing nothing about polish but said this one was beautiful! Next she gave the polish the name sake of Fast Eddie which is Ed's radio handle, he's a trucker and that's what he goes by. 

So how this families story hits close to home, Ed is a trucker... like my husband, who would also do anything for me. He's my rock. Secondly we just recently lost an uncle to colon cancer that spread to several organs. I couldn't wait to help spread the word for this fundraiser in hopes of raising some money for the Ashbury family. And now onto the polish! 

Fast Eddie 

 

Fast Eddie is a blue to green shifting holo with purple and blue shimmer.  The colors for liver and colon cancer.

I added a little double stamping to this beauty.

I can't help but love a pretty polish with a cause. Smile, spread the word and help a family in need. The proceeds will be helping this family keep their home. I hope you love Fast Eddie and pick up a bottle or two, the holidays are coming and this would also make a lovely gift!

Fast Eddie will be launching on October 29th 12pm MDT and retail for $12 usd. 

Here's all the Cbl info you need!

Hello lovelies! Today I'm bringing you a post full of swatches and an amazing story. This collection is from Colors by Llarowe and it's a journey in polish of what a rough few years she has been through. I for one know how rough life can be, I may not divulge in all of that here often but I've made some amazing friends through polish that know a whole lot about me lol. Anyway I'm rambling, here's a snippet that's published along with this collection, straight from cbl herself. 

"This is a very personal collection for me.  The last few years have been rough.  Loss of family members, health problems, personal problems and struggles that are too painful to talk about.  This collection came from my journey thru the darkness of these past few years, the depression I suffered and ultimately the light I have seen at the end of that tunnel. There are still dark days but with each day a new light appears.  The polishes that represent this journey tell a story.  Each polish represents times of this period and the struggles or healing I was going thru at the time.  You never know what someone is going thru and a smile or kind work can sometimes mean the world to someone."

I can't agree more with the last sentence! Along with this message, each color has another meaningful description on how each polish was inspired. I encourage you to take a peek at the listings and grab a few or more from this collection while you're there! 

Let's get into these swatches!
