Colors by Llarowe Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Purchased By Me

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?

Happy Hands Are You Afraid of the Dark Halloween Collection 2013 - Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hi all! Today's post the the Are You Afraid of the Dark? Halloween Collection from Happy Hands Nail Polish!
I'm so mad at myself for not remembering any specific Are You Afraid of the Dark? episodes right now!
I definitely remember the show but apparently my memory crapped out on retaining all of those memories :(
Either that or I have mixed them up with Goosebumps!



Laughing in the Dark - Three coats.

"It’s the most fun in the park when you’re laughing in the dark… Don’t be scared while wearing this purple
jelly with neon green, yellow, red, and purple glitters, inspired by Zeebo the cigar-smoking clown."

Laughing in the Dark went on unevenly for me, the base is really smooth but the glitters made it a little clumpy when it was layered so it didn't go on perfectly smooth. Since the formula wasn't perfect I decided to layer it and I prefer it that way!


Two coats of  Laughing in the Dark over Illamasqua Prosperity.


Super Specs - One coat plus a little dabbing over Cult Nails Lamestain.

"Use this glitter topcoat to see into another dimension (but don’t say I didn’t warn you!)
This polish is packed with holographic silver glitter, iridescent glitter, purple shimmer, and green flecks."

Super Specs went on perfect and smooth! I love the purple micro shimmer!

One coat of Super Specs over The Midnight Society.


The Midnight Society - Four thin coats.

"Submitted for your approval, this is a glow-in-the-dark blue jelly (and it also glows blue) with micro iridescent glitters.
I declare this meeting of the Midnight Society closed."

The Midnight Society has a great formula, it is a little sheer and dries semi matte.
It looks slightly uneven before you add topcoat but with topcoat it looks perfect.
The VNL is slightly more apparent in the photo than in person.


The Midnight Society glowing!


The Tale of the Dark Music - Three coats.

"Won’t you come play with me? This is a black jelly filled with microglitters in red, fuchsia, purple,
and blue, and reminiscent of something evil lurking behind that cellar door."

The Tale of the Dark Music is a bit sheer too so I decided to layer it below.
But the formula is amazing, it went on smooth and evenly.

Two coats of The Tale of the Dark Music over Black. (I can't remember specifically which one.)

Just like all the other Shimmer Polishes I've tried these all had terrific formula's!

The only thing I could think of to improve is maybe more stars in Alice, 

but seriously impressive formulas and dispersion! They really glide on evenly, so easily.
