Colors by Llarowe Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Before I show you my latest precious purchase, I want to apologize for not having been replying to many of your comments. I love your comments and I am always chiding myself, if I don't get around to reply to them as soon as possible. Work has shifted gears over the last three weeks, I am whirling through my days only to collapse on my couch in the evening and sadly, answering your comments fell short. But please, rest assured, I read them all, and I am always so happy to find your supportive and inspiring comments in my Inbox - thank you all <3!!!

But now on to one precious nail polish that arrived on my doorstep earlier this week - Colors by Llarowe Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (oh, I just adore this name…)! It should be a replica of the ever famous Essie Starry Starry Night. Now I don't own this infamous Essie but saw a fair share of photos and many more of brands releasing polishes trying to live up to it. Since I don't own Starry Starry Night I leave comparisons to others and focus on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It is a dark blue blue filled with silver micro glitter. What I love particularly, this blue is not leaning into any other color, just plain beautiful blue blue blue…. Like the sky can look like on a cold and clear winter night!

 lastly in artificial light:

I applied one thin and one medium coat of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star over Essence Hardening Nail Base. Being a jelly, it applies sheer upon the first coat, but the second coat transformed the polish into that dark blue with glinting glitters all over. I love the consistency which - probably thanks to all that micro glitter - is applicable like a cream. My brush though was somehow oddly voluminous and I therefore had some minor issues with painting the pinkies, sporting nubbins didn't really help I am afraid. It dried quickly and the surface was while not gritty not entirely smooth. But a layer of Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer gave my mani an incredible shine.

Final thoughts: Another stunner from the magic polish-kitchen of Lhea Ann - she really spoils us with the most incredible intricate creations, I so hope for many, many more…….

Colors by Llarowe are exclusively available with Llarowe.

I look forward to reading your comments and hope to reply them in return ;-P - as always, thanks for visiting!!!
