Colors by Llarowe Behead the Drama Queen and Beautiful Creature

If you are a polish addict like myself you are probably familiar with Llarowe. You probably also know that she now has an amazing nail polish line sold on....you guessed it...Llarowe.  I recently received a lovely package of polish to swatch for her and was so lucky to have Llarowe Behead the Drama Queen! and Beautiful Creature be two of those polishes. 

Behead the Drama Queen! (I adore the name) is from the Haters Gonna Hate! collection and Beautiful Creature is from the Beauty in Nature collection. I happened to swatch Behead the Drama Queen! first and then thought Beautiful Creature would look really pretty layered on top. 

Let's talk about Drama Queen first.

Colors  by Llarowe Behead the Drama Queen!

Llarowe describes Drama Queen as being a deep teal green that shifts navy to purple with hints of sapphire with intense shimmer in sunlight. 

 

What you see definitely depends on what lighting this chameleon is in. I swatched it on a cloudy day unfortunately. In my house (under daylight bulbs), I saw a lot of deep emerald with a really pretty tealish blue that borders the nail. The entire nail looked more blue depending on how I turned my hand.

You can see the blue shift on the corner of the bottle in this picture. 

This is one of those polishes that will have you staring at your hand all day. Drive with caution. 

 Sorry for the weird photo. I liked how you can see more blue in the polish so I wanted to show it.

Another weird angle but it really shows the blue flash. With the color shifts and blinding shimmer, this is a gorgeous polish. 

Alright, now let's take a look at Colors by Llarowe Beautiful Creature on top of Behead the Drama Queen.

Colors by Llarowe Beautiful Creature

Beautiful Creature is a glitter topper that has multiple colors and sizes of glitter in a clear base that's loaded with shimmer. I love the color palate of these glitters. They look very tropical and summery together. The splash of lime green and bright pink is my favorite part. 

 Love it!

You can purchase these polishes from Llarowe of course! You can tell that the Colors by Llarowe line was created by a polish lover who understands what her fellow lacquer heads want. There is something for everyone from this brand; cremes, glitters, shimmers, and holos. Oh the holos. They're good. Very good.

The 31 Day Challenge - Day 2 (Orange)

I decided to use another polish from The Germany Collection by OPI for today's challenge. Deutsche You Want Me Baby? (DYWMB) is a rich orange polish with a silly name. It's the perfect shade for fall. It reminds me of pumpkins and has that great shimmer that gives it a glow. To make it extra special and even more perfect for the fall, I added one coat of Lynnderella Cauldron Drippings. I didn't use brushstrokes to apply Cauldron Drippings, I dabbed it on to spread the glitter out evenly. As usual, I topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite. If I were to wear this for more than a day, I'd put two coats of Seche Vite to smooth it out.

 I really love how these two polishes look together. I may even do this again for Halloween. Both polishes had a great formula and were very easy to work with.

I'm in love with Cauldron Drippings. It's such a shame that it's so impossible to get now. If you have an extra grand laying around (snorts), you might find it here. I fortunately got this before Llarowe stopped carrying it. There are so many great indie polish makers that are releasing amazing Halloween polishes that I recommend grabbing one of those to recreate this look. It would definitely be easier to get and much more affordable.

Here is DYWMB by itself:

This is what I did for  Day 2 of the challenge last year:

Can you tell I did this last Halloween? ;)

How do you guys feel about orange polish? Do you wear it? What's your favorite shade?
