Colors by Llarowe Summer Collection review part 2


Hi guys!
Guess what? I have more Colors by Llarowe for you today! Last week I swatched 20 polishes from the new Summer collection and today I have 11 more! Colors by Llarowe has quickly become one of my favorite indie brands, I bet you'll understand why by the end of this post.

To catch up on the previous review, just follow this link.





The shimmers
I already reviewed Holiday Road and Connie's Nosy Neighbor.

The third, Alternate Universe, is shown below.


Consistency was perfect, an ultra sparkly glass fleck, fully opaque in 2 coats. Swatches below with both regular and matte topcoat.


Alternate Universe
Turquoise crelly base with strong lime green shimmer 
2 coats





The jellies / crellies 
Already reviewed : Blue Jeans & Beauty Queens, Read My Lips, More New Colors and Summer...Finally!.
The five others are shown below.


Formula was nice and easy to work with. I used 2 coats plus topcoat on all of these but Strawberry Wine which required a third. Liquor is Quicker could have used another coat too but I didn't really feel the need for it.


Candy is Dandy
Lavender orchid crelly 
2 coats




Frenzy
Hot pink with slight purple undertone crelly
2 coats (beware this one is a stainer, use 2 coats of basecoat)




Strawberry Wine
Reddened magenta jelly
3 coats



Liquor is Quicker
Blurple crelly
2 coats




Smokin' in the Boys Room
Deep smokey charcoal grey jelly
2 coats




The glitters
I already reviewed : I'm Seeing Spots, My Own Reality, Opals & Lace, Purple is My Crack and Soccer Mom. 
Subtle Little Number, Mystery & Mayhem and Independence Day  are shown below.


Application and glitter pay-off were excellent. These were all extremely sparkly and fully opaque in 2 coats.


Beautiful Disaster
Clear base with assorted micro and holographic micro glitters
2 coats





Independance Day
Deep royal blue jelly base with holographic micro glitters
2 coats





Mystery & Mayhem
Teal jelly base with holo micro glitters
2 coats




The holos / holo glitters
Already reviewed : Aliens & Outlaws, Anna's Adventure, Chillin' In Paradise, Final Fantasy, My Own Private Paradise,  Nice Melons!, Olivia, Refresh...ing!, Sweet Revenge, Watch Me Fly, See Me Soar and When Doves Cry.
Shown below : Blonde Ambition and Watch Me Fly, See Me Soar.


Perfect application and intense holo effect, simply flawless. I used 2 coats and no topcoat in all of my swatches.



Blonde Ambition
Light nude taupe strong linear holo
2 coats




Watch Me Fly, See Me Soar
Charcoal strong linear holographic with blue flash
2 coats




I can't wait to hear your thoughts on these! I'm already sold on this collection and it just confirms how much I love CbLs.
