Today I have the May exclusive polishes from Llarowe's A Box, Indied (just barely getting them posted in the month of May). As previously mentioned, Llarowe in an online indie stockist which has a monthly subscription box. The box's theme was "May The Fourth Be With You" and took inspiration from Star Wars. The box is still available for single month purchase.
Now let's get to some swatches.
First up is Luke, I Am Your Father from Colors By Llarowe. When you think of the name what comes to mind? Darth Vader? The dark side? Luke, I Am Your Father is a black holo....but not just any black holo....a black holo with black micro glitter. It went on smooth and easy. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.
Next is the polish from Glisten and Glow called Saber This! Saber This! is a blue crelly with purple and blue iridescent micro flecks. This polish also glows in the dark. I apologize for the dim glow in the dark photo, still working on figuring out the ideal settings on my camera. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.
Next up is Different Dimension's contribution to the box called Saber That. Saber That is a light green crelly with iridescent yellow, blue and purple glitters along with holo rainbow dust. This polish also glows, however I was not able to get a glow show due to it being quite dim. The formula on this polish was bit thick so application was slightly difficult. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.
One of my favorites of the box is from Girly Bits Cosmetics called I Like Big Buns (LOVE THE NAME!). This polish is inspired by Princess Leia's hair. It is a brown polish with gold, purple and amber micro flecks. I love this combination, especially with matte top coat! Formula was perfect and photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd photos).
The other favorite of the box is from Contrary Polish and called Slavegirl Bikini. This red glitter jelly contains light pink and gold micro flecks. As with all Contrary Polishes, they MUST BE MATTIFIED! Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th photos) and matte top coat (5th and 6th photos).

Loves: LOVE I Like Big Buns from Girly Bits Cosmetics and Contrary Polish's Slavegirl Bikini. The use of the micro flecks in these polishes really made them stand out. The theme was super adorable and any Star Wars nerd should definitely add a few of these to their collection.
Wishes: I wish the formula was a bit more friendly on the Different Dimension so that I was able to capture a glow in the dark photo.
Which is your favorite?
Happy Polishing,
Kristi aka @BeginNails
That CbL polish is really gorgeous!
