February 2015 A Box, Indied Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

Today I have the February exclusive polishes from Llarowe's A Box, Indied.  As previously mentioned, Llarowe in an online indie stockist which has a monthly subscription box.  This month's theme was "A Box, CANDIED."  There are still boxes available if you decided that these 5 lacquers are for you!  Sorry these are so late!  My vacation set me back on blog posts!

Now let's get to some swatches.

First polish is Candy Is Dandy from Black Cat Lacquer.  Candy Is Dandy is a deep purple glitter jelly containing purple micro glitter and small purple hexes.  This is the most purpley purplish purple polish ever!  It applied nicely and evenly.  Photo show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd and 4th photos).





Next is a polish from Crows Toes, a beautiful glitter jelly called Even Sugar Melts In The Devil's Mouth.  This polish contains light pink, purple micro glitter and grey flakes in a black jelly.  This polish is so original and unique.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st, 2nd and 3rd photos) and matte top coat (4th, 5th and 6th and photos).







Cotton Candy Crush is next, a lavender glitter crelly from Hare Polish.  This polish reminds me of the early blooming spring flowers.  Cotton Candy Crush contains light pink, turquoise matte hexes and circles as well as gold flakes and micro glitter.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd and 4th photos).





Next polish is Sweet Nothings, a soft white glitter crelly from Serum N5.  Sweet Nothings contains yellow, magenta, purple and turquoise hex glitters in a few sizes.  The best thing about this white crelly is that it also contains purple shimmer, which is visible in the light.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.




The last polish is from Elevation and called Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffles.  This polish is my favorite of the box.  It's gorgeous in both a shiny and matte top coat.  Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffles is a deep dark chocolate brown with light pink and lavender micro flakes.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd and 4th photos).





Shiny Top Coat: Gem Glam Top Coat from www.dreampolish.com
Matte Top Coat: O.P.I. Top Coat

Loves:  Formula on all 5 were great!  I love the dark looks of Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffles and Even Sugar Melts In The Devil's Mouth.  They balance with the softer lighter polishes in the box.

Wishes:  I wish I had captured photos of Sweet Nothings with matte top coat!

Which is your favorite?

Happy Polishing,

    1. It's already in the low 80's here in Arizona, so I dread "spring" because that is when we hit 100's! haha. Winter is my favorite in Arizona.
