GO-Juss Colors by Llarowe!

Let's face it readers, there are sometimes those indie polishes we try, and want to cry when we put it on because it is so pretty! HAHA! Seriously though, I don't really cry, but when I first tried on my very first Colors by Llarowe, I was staring at my nails for hours! It was so pretty!!! My very first was True Colors, along with Burnt Sugar, which I swapped because brown and my skin tone just clash BAD. No matter how many times I try brown... even though it looks beautiful in swatches and in the bottle, it looks horrible on my nails. Anyhow, True Colors is so gosh derned pretty. I decided to swatch it and a couple other CbL polishes for you today since yesterday was another pre order day over at Llarowe. Please, excuse my awful cuticles though and my short nails. My hands have dried right up this last week. The weather has been so dry. BLAH!

So. True Colors. It was not available at todays pre-sale. It is a retired shade, but I have seen it for sale on swap and sale boards around the nail community on Facebook. If Purplish pinks are your thing, I highly recommend it. I used two coats on the swatches below. I also had a few bald spots with the first coat, but those were fixed with the second coat. I also used Seche Vite base coat and HK Girl by Glisten and Glow as my top coat.

 Next up we have Dirty Diana. This is a gorgeous pink color. I walked around in my fancy rich lady accent all day saying Go-juss dah-ling all day when wearing this one. Not to mention singing the Dirty Diana song when no one was looking or listening! :P Since I had no sunshine the few days I swatched these, I had to use my LED lamp. This is two very thin coats on top of Seche base coat with a coat of HK Girl top coat by Glisten and Glow. The shine and holo of this polish is beautiful!

Finally we have Smooth Criminal. This polish also gave me a few bald spot on the first coat, but the second coat fixed those right up and everything smoothed right out. This is a purple holo polish that I sang the song Smooth Criminal the whole time I was applying the polish. This is two coats on top of Seche base coat with a coat of HK Girl top coat.
