Purple Everywhere!

I dunno what is going on, but I have been really into purple polish lately! lol My favorite colors are red and pink, but lately I keep seeing all these gorgeous purples. So the other day hubby let me go shopping on Llarowe and I picked up 2 new purple polishes there, along with a few other colors which I'll be showing soon. I got a purple holo from my adopt a friend buddy this month. I also picked up Almost Famous by Lilypad Lacquer from a friend. I just can't get enough of purple lately! lol I was hoping that I could show you Almost Famous in this post too, but I didn't get it in the mail yet, so another time.

Today I am going to show you Tinsicle by Lacquerlicious, Cap'n Cook by Cadillacquer, and Plum GEE-nius by Ellagee. These are all new brands for me. I do have some Ellagee polishes, but they're in mini's and I think I have only tried them, never really worn them. I got them as a adopt a friend gift.

I was shopping on Llarowe and I told the hubby I would only spend $50 and I was a few dollars short after getting the ones I wanted, but any orders $50 or more get free shipping. So I visited the sale section. There were a few and in the swatch pics I looked at for them, I wasn't too fond of them, but I thought "I will just grab a few of one of them and I can use them for buddies or giveaways or something." Tinsicle by Laquerlicious was $3 and it was the best of the ones on there so I thought sure, why not. When it arrived I LOVED it in the bottle, but being a chunky glitter polish I thought I was going to have to dig. The base in this is AMAZING! It grabs the glitter so well and 1 coat covered my nail perfectly! I was TOTALLY impressed and decided I was going to keep one for myself! Probably one of my new favorite glitters!! You can purchase Laquerlicious polishes HERE. It is no longer available on Llarowe.


Here is 1 coat of Plum GEE-nius and 2 coats of Tinsicle.

Since I was using Tinsicle as an accent nail, I wanted to do another one of my new purples with it. I think it would have looked better with Cap'n Cook, but I tried Plum GEE-nius by Ellagee instead for more sparkle. Beautiful color, I wish I could have gotten better sun pics, but there hasn't been much sun here. Its a linear holo dark purple. Nice formula too! I got this one from my adopt a friend buddy for January. I love that Ellagee polishes come with that cute lil ring, so sweet. This is a a custom polish I am told, so I don't believe it is available for just anyone to purchase. You can purchase other Ellagee polishes HERE.

Next is Cap'n Cook by Cadillacquer. I kept seeing this in my feed from different bloggers sharing it and I fell more in love every time I seen it! Looks so much better in light/sunlight, but its still a pretty polish! I love the brush on this polish! Easy to grip, plus it was a wide brush. I cant stand skinny brushes. It was a real nice formula too! The fact that this was in a Breaking Bad collection got me super excited too because I LOVED Breaking Bad! All the colors from that collection are gorgeous too! You can purchase Cadillacquer polishes HERE. You can also get them on Llarowe.

This is 2 coats of Cap'n Cook.

Please excuse my skin and cuticles in these last two pics. This was the next day while I was out driving and I hadn't lotioned my hands or put on cuticle oil yet. The sun was shining and I wanted to try to get some nice sun pics. It was kinda hard in the car though.

Hope you all have a great week and enjoyed my post! xoLeah

Dirty Diana

I have never wanted a polish so bad as when I seen Dirty Diana from Colors By Llarowe! Omg have you seen any of the swatches going around the net? GORGEOUS! Google them. I would share pics here, but I don't want to get yelled at for stealing pics of anything of the sort. I kinda suck at good nail pics though, so mine aren't as good, but seriously, this stuff is AMAZING!

I received this for free from the lovely Leah at Llarowe. She is participating in our contest and I told her how much I loved it and asked about when the restock of it was (this was back before the recent restock) and she was like, well since i'm sending you the prizes, do you want me to send you a bottle to review? I almost died. I got SO EXCITED! Omg you have no idea. I couldn't wait to open it when I did get it. 

The polish was kinda thick, but I kinda like that in a polish because it usually means its a one coater, which this was! This is probably also my favorite bottle too. Not only is it square, which I find a lot easier to hold, but the brush handle was the rubbery ones, I dunno what that is even called, but its awesome. 

The first mani I did with it actually was when my friend Ariel came over. I had done some really cute nails on myself, which will be next weeks post, before I went to check the mail. I was like DAMN, why didn't I wait till after I checked the mail?! lol But anyways, so I couldn't wait to use it and I tried it out on her and it turned out super cute and I was then jealous of her mani. haha

Ariels nails. I used Dirty Diana from Colors By Llarowe, Harp On It by Color Club for the color underneath, and then the other pink color is Sunset Bronze by Ulta.

A few days later, when my mani started to fall off, and I was about to go to a wedding, I decided I would finally use Dirty Diana on myself. I think it really looks good on any length of nail, but longer looks much prettier, mine are on the short side right now. I wish they were long and thick like my grandmas! 

Anyways, this stuff in the sunlight and my light for pics looked SO AWESOME! I couldn't really get a good sun pic, but the light, ERMAHGERD! I just love holo so much, probably my favorite type of polish, its so beautiful.

This was inside with my light and flash with a top coat.

If you are interested in checking out more or purchasing Dirty Diana you can do so by visiting Llarowe's store. I'm sure most of you already know this already, but you can also purchase a ton of other different brands in her shop, its amazing. OH NO!! After typing this I realized Dirty Diana is SOLD OUT again!! Seriously, this stuff goes like hot cakes, its so awesome. Well there are still a ton of really awesome other colors you can check out there, so be sure to at least browse and see for yourself!

I totally want like all the Colors By Llarowe now! Hope that you guys enjoyed this short lil review of Dirty Diana. Have a great week! xoLeah
