April 2015 A Box, Indied Swatch and Review
Greetings and Nailutations,
Today I have the April exclusive polishes from Llarowe's A Box, Indied. As previously mentioned, Llarowe in an online indie stockist which has a monthly subscription box. The box's theme was "April Fools" and took inspiration from practical jokes, silly memes and that dang blue and black dress....or was it gold? The box is currently available for single month purchase.
Now let's get to some swatches.
First up is Blue Your Mind from Black Cat Lacquer. This blue glitter jelly is a bright royal blue and contains blue and iridescent hex glitter. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd photo).
Next is Made You Look from Serum N5. Made You Look is a pearlescent polish that contains turquoise rainbow dust that shimmers in the light. It took 3 coats for total opacity, as it is quite sheer. Photos show the 3 coats and shiny top coat.
Whoopee Cushion from Crows Toes is one of my favorite in the box. It is a a dusty pinky-orange resembling a Whoopee Cushion and dries to an almost matte-waxy look. Photos show 2 coats with no top coat (1st photo) and shiny top coat (2nd and 3rd photos).
Hare Polish's contribution to the box is called Trust No One. Suspect Everyone. It is a lime green glitter crelly that contains yellow and green matte hex and circle glitters as well as some teeny iridescent blue glitters. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st photo) and matte top coat (2nd and 3rd photos).
The last polish and another favorite is from Pahlish and called Quite Ribbiting. Quite Ribbiting is a deep teal linear holographic polish. It's absolutely stunning! Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.
Shiny Top Coat: Gem Glam Top Coat from www.dreampolish.com
Matte Top Coat: Polish Matte'rs from www.girlybitscosmetics.com
Loves: Formula on all 5 were great! I really love Whoopee Cushion and Quite Ribbiting - I am a sucker for holos and interesting finishes! I enjoyed that each polish had a different finish as well. And as mentioned at the beginning, if you liked this box, there are still boxes available from Llarowe.
Wishes: This was a fun box! I wouldn't change anything.
Which is your favorite?
Happy Polishing,
Kristi aka @BeginNails

March 2015 A Box Indied Swatch and Review
Greetings and Nailutations,
Today I have the March exclusive polishes from Llarowe's A Box, Indied. As previously mentioned, Llarowe in an online indie stockist which has a monthly subscription box. The box's theme was "Lucky Charms." Unfortunately, the box is sold out. Sorry these are so late!
Now let's get to some swatches.
First up is a green crelly with gold flakes from Contrary Polish called Shamrock and Roll. One thing I love doing with Contrary Polishes is adding a matte top coat to transform it into a soft look. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd and 4th photos).
Next polish is a soft pink scattered holographic polish called Endless Rainbows from Glisten and Glow. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat in filtered light (1st photo) and simulated sunlight (2nd photo).
Fields of Gold is next, from Pahlish. Fields of Gold is a dark gold polish in a clear base filled with gold micro flecks and flakes. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.
Next is a perfect purple linear holographic polish called Magically Delicious, from Colors by Llarowe. This has to be my favorite of the box...because, well purple! Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat in filtered light (1st photo) and simulated sunlight (2nd and 3rd photos).
The last polish, and another close second favorite is from Girly Bits Cosmetics called Serendipity. Serendipity is a dusty mauve holographic with light pink hexes and light pink and magenta micro glitter. This makes a great work appropriate polish. Such complexity and I love how the colors sparkles in the light. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.
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 really love the purple holo from Colors By Llarowe and a close second is the glittery holo from Girl Bits Cosmetics.
Wishes: This was a fun box! I wouldn't change anything.

January 2015 A Box, Indied Swatch and Review
Greetings and Nailutations,
Today I have the January 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 "New Debts, New Diets, NEW POLISH." There are still boxes available if you decided that these 5 lacquers are for you!
Now let's get to some swatches.
First is Black Cat Lacquer's glitter jelly called Dance All Night. Dance All Night is a black jelly that contains rainbow holographic dust, hexes in a few sizes and colors as well as crescents and stars. This polish is fun and perfect for a night out on the town! Formula was nice and no glitter fishing! Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd and 4th photos).
Next is a holo called Out With The Old, In With The Blue from Different Dimension. This holo is a very pale green/blue. I love this polish because it is a holo in a shade I don't have! Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.
Pop, Fizz, Clink! from Hare Polish is another polish included in the January Box. It is a dark magenta-purple glitter jelly that contains gold and silver hexes, circles and little stars. Easy formula to work with. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd and 4th photos).
Crows Toes contribution to the box is a gold and silver glitter topper that contains hexes in a few sizes and is called Overtime till Spring. This polish is versatile and will look great over any color. Photos show 2 coats over Lavish Polish Lovely and shiny top coat.
The last polish in the box is from Pahlish and is called Brand New Baubles. Brand New Baubles is a navy blue base with teal, purple and gold flakes. Oh my word, this polish is absolutely gorgeous. Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd photo).
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! Colors were all fun and I'm a huge fan of polishes that look amazing shiny and matte and this box had 3! If I had to select a favorite....eek, I'm not sure I could! The holo is a shade that I don't have, the flakies are amazing, the black glitter topper is so fun....I could keep going! This box was pure perfection!
Wishes: I wish every box was like January's!
