Colors by Llarowe Precious Metal & Rare Bear


Hi all! I realize I haven't been posting as much as I would like and I want to tell you all I am sorry!
My husband got a new promotion at work but in doing so him hours have changed drastically and I'm still trying to adjust to it being so different. He used to get home by 3 pm so he was home a lot, which opened up more free time for me.

Now he doesn't get home until after bedtime. I usually stay up late to blog and swatch but it's much harder to do now.
Sky doesn't sleep well by herself so it forces me to give up that free time I usually dedicated to myself.
Before my hubby had to wake up very early for work so he went to bed early so it was taken care of but now it's all wonky.

Anyway, needless to say I'm super behind. I already was before this and this just made it worse.
But it will be worthwhile, we can finally get insurance for me which I desperately need!
Hopefully I get to find a better "time slot" to do my blogging now, but it can be very hard with a clingy kid!

Okay enough rambling! For today's post I have two more gorgeous Colors by Llarowe polishes I purchased recently.

Colors by Llarowe Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star



Hey guys! Today's post is just a quick one, I have been slacking so bad lately D:
I received my Llarowe purchase the other day, with my first CBL polishes in it!
I have been wanting to try them for ages and I finally broke down and bought a few!

And I just had to put this baby on right away!
Below is two coats of CBL Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

The formula was a little thick which was unexpected, I was expecting it to be thinner like normal jelly polishes.
But it still applied really nicely and I didn't have any issues with it. Easy peasy!
I was happy to find out that the removal was the same, super easy.
It does dry the tiniest bit gritty and I found that for pictures it looked best with two coats of topcoat.
The first photo only has one and you can tell that it looks less smooth than photos 2 & 3.
It was not noticeable in person at all though. I'm really impressed with this polish and I can't wait to try the other 3 I bought!


I hope you guys all have had a wonderful weekend!
Did anybody do anything fun for Valentine's Day?
