Formula X KVD VS Formula X Nail Polish Collection


This collection has launched at sephora.com and comes in the following shades: NaYeon, Vampira, Tijuana, L.U.V. and Color Piaf. And while I have never been a massive Kat Von D fan (not hating on the brand at all, just never been a brand that tends to consistently pull me in) I am a big fan of the Sephora X brand. I think they are a fantastic formula at a very reasonable price. And at $12.50 per polish, I may have to pick up most of these!!

Julep Kristen Swatches And Comparisons


I was recently asked to swatch Kristen. And I was stunned at how unique it was within my collection!


Its sooooo pretty! Compared to both Cult Nails Living Water and Chanel Nuit De Russie.




As you can see its very similar to Cult Nails Living Water but the shimmer and glitter is not as holographic. Otherwise it looks very much the same!

Butter London Lillibets Jubilee VS Butter London Posh Bird


Its amazing how different these look when photographed. And its also amazing how similar these looked when sitting in the Butter London drawer of my Alex. But they actually ARE very different.



Lillibets Jubilee (on the left) is an a very shiny metallic almost silvery dusty purple. Posh Bird is best described as a silvery dusty purple version of Victoriana (one of my two all time fav polishes ever, across any brand). They are very similar, but Lillibits Jubilee is much more silver, less dusty purple and has more of a "look at me" type feel to it.

Colors By Llarowe - Part 3



Once more, I am going to refrain from discussing the formula of each of these individually. It is smooth and easy to work with uniformly around the board. They are opaque in two coats for sure, but to be honest, you can almost get away with one coat.


Show Me Again is an aqua blue to purple to green to pink multi chrome with a touch of holo added for sparkle. To be honest, this was my least favourite of the bunch. There is nothing wrong with it, but because it is a chrome it can tend to show streaks. There is nothing wrong with the formula though and the polish can be very pretty, especially if you have the patience to apply it super carefully.



In different lighting:



Young Turks is a bright turquoise holo. It dries semi matte, but it is shown here with a top coat (Hong Kong Girl). Either way, its stunning!




Last, but CERTAINLY not least is Sexy Mother. Sexy mother is a deep royal blue holo with blue flame.

Colors By Llarowe - Part 2



Once more, I am going to refrain from discussing the formula of each of these individually. It is smooth and easy to work with uniformly around the board. They are opaque in two coats for sure, but to be honest, you can almost get away with one coat.


Connie, You Saucy Minx is described as a bright medium purple crelly with intense hot pink shimmer. The description is pretty accurate. And these photos do not do it justice.




Rest In Pieces is a deep purple linear holo with blurple holographic micro shimmer. This is totally holographic and insanely gorgeous and easy to apply. But I would not call it shimmer. This is more of a fine glitter than it is a shimmer.




Smooth Criminal is a blurple leaning linear holo. As you can probably tell based on the polishes I have shown you so far, it has been a big struggle figuring out what to wear first! I freaking love them all!!!

Colors By Llarowe - Part 1



I am going to refrain from discussing the formula of each of these individually. It is smooth and easy to work with uniformly around the board. They are opaque in two coats for sure, but to be honest, you can almost get away with one coat. The red one tends to stain a bit (even with a base coat underneath) but really, who cares? You want a fiercely pigmented shade as deep and opaque as this, guess what? Staining can happen. And since I never ever ever go with bare nails or sheer polish, its a completely irrelevant issue for me.


Blonde Ambition. This one is beyond words. Its a gorgeous pink leaning (but not at all pink) insanely holographic bottle of amazingness. Its really beyond words. Its almost a pale rose gold but not QUITE pink enough to actually be one.





My Broken Down Crop Duster is a blackish, greyish, navyish dark brown holo that is amazing.




The Mighty Red Baron is a beyond words. Its a deep red that is cool toned and just shining from within. Its got a linear holo effect, but not the normal rainbow holo you are used to. It almost looks like glowing glass flecks. It dries to an almost matte but not quite matte finish that I topped with a top coat. While I normally LOVE LOVE LOVE anything matte or almost matte, this one has an inner glow that just needs to be let out with a shiny top coat. Its just......... yup, gotta say it. MAGIC. Just go get it now and thank me later.
