Elevation Polish Tavan Bogd-June 7th Preview

Tonight, I have a preview of a polish that will be released June 7th.  Not only is the shade my go-to shade when I reach for something to wear, the brand has become my new favorite indie brand.  

 Elevation Polish Tavan Bogd is part of the Mongolian Collection.

It is a smoky grey/lavender cream. 

 Application was a breeze and applied easily in two coats.  I had no issues and knew immediately that this was a keeper!

I am a huge fan of smoky colors and I am always reaching for my smoky lavenders when I need something soothing on my tips.  I am super excited to see the other colors coming out in Elevation Polish's Mongolian Collection. If they are anything like this, I will most definitely be buying!

You can buy Elevation Polish at www.ElevationPolish.bigcartel.com  Most of her polishes retail for $8-$10.  She restocks on the 7th and 22nd of each month.  You can also visit her blog for updates at I Love Brown Nail Polish.
Elevation Polish will also be coming soon to Llarowe.  LIKE Llarowe on Facebook to stay updated!

Indigo Bananas-Alcatraz

Tonight, I have Indigo Bananas Alcatraz.  Now, I have tried on many a holo; but these babies by Indigo Bananas, really take the cake!  Application is literally PERFECT.  There is no dragging, it dries fast, it goes on smoothly.  I used two coats.

AND. THE. HOLO.  I mean what?  What more can I say?  Just stare at it.

Here she is in the shade.

And here she is under an Ott Light.

The macro makes me drool.

Full sized holos retail for $12 each and minis for $5.50.
Other polishes are $10/$4.50.

Indigo Bananas-Cake Or Death!

Indigo Bananas made a scene in the indie polish community when she debuted her shop with show stopping duochromes and an in-your-face matte electric blue.  

She has since come out with some linear holos that I was very curious about.  

Tonight, I have for you a holo from her new collection called, "Cake Or Death."  I was curious if she would live up to the high standards I had come to expect from her last polishes. Considering how many indie brands have now come out with holo polishes, I was unsure how these would stand out.  

All doubts were swiftly put aside when I put on Cake Or Death.  Cake or Death is a rose colored linear holo with very small black glitter in it.   YES. Glitter in a holo.  I have so much to say about this polish, I am unsure of where to begin...

First of all, application was FLAWLESS.  I do not use that word lightly. I rarely use it actually. Consistency was perfect.  There was no drag, no issues, nothing but putting on the polish and DONE. 

I used two coats and a coat of Seche over the top.  As you can see by the photos, the linear is so strong, it rivals most Brazilian holos. Forget about comparing to indies. This blows them out of the water.

It dried quickly and top coat didn't mess with it. It lasted on my fingers for two days before I took it off. The holo in it is outstanding!   Personally, I could do without the glitter in it, but I understand why it is there.

It gives an added visual interest in the shade...  Notice you can see the glitter better here.  The glitter is so unobtrusive that you don't even notice it in the polish when you are putting it on.

Here is a photo in my light box.  The holo is less obvious, but still there.

Macro shot...

I am floored by Indigo Bananas amazing polishes!  She really goes above and beyond what is expected in a polish.  I wholeheartedly recommend buying from her!

Naild'It Unique Polish-Sugarmess Glum

To end out my reviews of Naild'It Unique Polish, I am going to spam you with a white crelly glitter bomb!  

Sugarmess Glum is a white crelly base and is packed to the hilt with every glitter imaginable in purple, red, white, aqua, and holo!

I used 2-3 coats for opacity and it went on easily and the glitters spread well!  Quite a feat considering how much glitter I found in it!  Lets, see...there are hearts, hexes, diamonds, and large squares!  (Did I forget anything?!)

I love the combo of colors in Sugarmess Glum-I never would have thought to put aqua, pink, red and purple all together-but somehow it really works!

I used a coat of Gelous and a coat of Seche Vite to smooth it out.

There were so many different types of glitters in here that I took a macro shot of four of my nails!
