OK, so CbL? What's CbL?

Colors by Llarowe is a line designed by Leah Anne Larowe of www.llarowe.com fame. Restocks of her deeply colored heavily holographic polishes are things of legend, so I set my face as flint and decided to see what the fuss was about. Two hours and six polishes later, I see the light. Well, the rainbows. I wouldn't say these are the best holo polishes EVAH because I don't think they are. They are pretty amazing though, even for two coats I needed (some reviewers seem to get away with one coat)  Here is Obnoxious Annie and Black Gold, Texas Tea with Lippmann Gel Effect topcoat. Application was easy and cleanup a cinch.

Caramel Apples? Elevation Jellies

I bought these a long time ago, with the thought of doing the tortoise shell mani, but realized I hadn't bought the third color needed :( So I painted 4, yes 4 coats each of Elevation Temperance and Cascade. They're both true jelly polishes, sheer yet buildable in three or four coats. This is post-mani, red cuticles and all, but I wanted to show the squishiness and gloss they have. I wore this four days with not the slightest bit of wear or chips- Bettina Pro-B Color-Fusing base and Color Enhancing topcoat.

MSMD Tuesday....

My lovely inspiration is the ever classy Bee of Bee Polished. She did a black and white mani for a group challenge here that I pinned and vowed to try. Of course, I switched up the colors a bit- Orly Grave Mistake and OPI Roll in the Hague.

oh, and here's a cute baby pic for fun- my 3 month old granddaughter
