Up Colors Rosa Star

Hey guys,

Really late post today, one of my friends from uni came down to visit me! I haven't seen her in a few months because she was travelling around America, so a few episodes of Gossip Girl, a Nando's takeaway and a catch up were in order before I could do today's post!

I have one of my Llarowe polishes to show you tonight, Rosa Star from Up Colors. This is a rose pink holo polish. It does have a linear effect but if you're looking for a replacement for any of the HITS No Olimpo polishes you won't get that from Rosa Star! Despite that this is a really gorgeous polish with an amazing formula. I had full opacity in one (very easy to apply) coat, but I applied a second coat for the pictures as I think this increases the holo effect of any polish, so the photos below show two coats of Rosa Star. I didn't use topcoat because I think it dulls the effect.

Natural light
Flash
Direct artificial light
I had to get my boyfriend to help me with the artificial light photos! I used my phone torch and unfortunately I don't have three hands! I think that picture really shoes the holographic effect so it needed to be done! I think you'll agree this polish is beautiful!

If you love this polish as much as me, you can buy it here at Llarowe for $9. They also ship internationally, which is a bonus if you live in the UK like me!

More Nail Mail!

Hi guys, another post for today!

One of my favourite things is shopping online. I buy stuff most days but what I hate is when I miss the postman for some reason! Especially when I've ordered more than one thing so I don't know exactly what I've missed when I see my attempted delivery slip! 

When I got home last night I had TWO of these slips! I'm waiting for a few swap packages, and a lot of online orders so I was really curious to find out what I had missed, so today I rushed down to the sorting office to collect my things. 

It was some serious nail mail! One package was from a polish buddy, Crystal from Crys Loves Polish and the other was an order from Llarowe. 



I did a swap with Crystal for two bottles of Max Factor's Fantasy Fire and she sent me Essie's Absolutely Shore and Navigate Her, as well as China Glaze For Audrey. She added an image plate for good measure and sent me such a cute little card!


For Audrey, Navigate Her, Absolutely Shore

My Llarowe order included a couple of the HITS No Olimpo polishes plus two polishes from Up Colors, one holo and one flakie.


Rosa Star, Balada, Hefesto, Apolo

I can't wait to swatch all of these!!! I really can't pick which one of these is my favourite!
