I'm back today with the Winter 2015 collection from Colors by Llarowe. I have all 12 shades to show you and it's an explosion of holographic, shimmery festiveness. You're definitely going to need a few of these!
Colors by Llarowe is the nail polish line by indie stockist Llarowe, who have recently moved away from stocking other brands to focus on their own line. I showed you the Fall 2015 collection a few weeks ago and I'm so happy to have the Winter collection to show you!
Berries In The Snow is a deep berry wine strong linear holo. This is one of my favourites, it's so intense and richly pigmented (use a base coat!) it's just beautiful. 2 coats plus top coat
Breathless is a deep, almost blackened magenta with red to gold shimmer. The formula on this leans towards jelly giving it a beautiful depth. 2 coats plus top coat
Santa Baby is a perfect festive red strong linear holo. This one looks like it's on fire under certain light! 2 coats plus top coat
If You Dare is a strong fuchsia linear holo with violet flame. So intense and beautiful, again richly pigmented so don't forget your base coat. 2 coats plus top coat
Peacock Parade is a blue toned teal linear holo with a softer effect. The colour is so deep and intense, I can never get enough of teal shades. I found the formula to be a tiny bit thick so I might add a bit of thinner in future. 2 coats plus top coat
Jewel of Denial is (to my eyes) again a teal linear holo but with aqua green undertones rather than the blue of Peacock Parade. 2 coats plus top coat
Ice Ice Baby is a sky blue strong linear holo. Ever so slightly more sheer than the others so I added a third coat for full intensity.
Tree of Lights is a christmas green scattered holo with multi-sized holo micro glitter. My swatch really doesn't do this justice, it's just gorgeous. The micro glitter makes it look like it's got loads of tiny little lights in it! 2 coats plus top coat
Plum Perfect is a strong purple linear holo with blue flame. I love this particular shade of purple and the blue flame is super strong. 2 coats plus top coat
'Shroom With a View is a dark taupe scattered holo with lighter taupe flame. This has a glowy effect to it and the light taupe flame is super strong. 2 coats plus top coat
Hot Buttered Rum (I just love that name) is a sandy gold scattered glow holo with golden flame. I like this much more than I expected to, it's subtle but stand out! 2 coats plus top coat
Lastly, Fairy Dust is a white-grey scattered jelly holo with multi-sized holo shimmer and glitter. It's so ridiculously pretty, the sparkles are endless. This could be layered or used alone in 3 coats (as shown)
That was a BIG collection to swatch! There are some beautiful, perfect Winter polishes in this collection and they're all so intense and rich in pigment. Which is your favourite? Let me know!
My picks: Berries In The Snow, Tree of Lights, Hot Buttered Rum, Fairy Dust
