Hi guys!
I've been swatching non stop lately so please forgive me but this is going to be a picture heavy post.
The Colors by Llarowe Summer collection is launching this week and consists of 2 sets : a twelve-piece main collection and a second four-piece set of Cremes, Jellies and Shimmers.
Let's start with the Cremes, Jellies and Shimmers!
Creme of the Crop is a sea green crelly that dries to a wax/satin semi-matte finish. It's a unique color, so vibrant in real life! Formula was really nice and easy to work with. I used 2 coats w/o topcoat.

Love Me Some Blurple! is a deep blurple crelly. This one will probably look bluer in all of the swatches you might see but it's a true blurple. The natural lighting swatch below looks ore accurate to me so that one might give you a better idea. Self-leveling formula and a 2 to 3 coats coverage. I used 2 coats plus topcoat.

Hot Summer Nights is a blackened burgundy with an intense red shimmer. If you're a long-time polish lover (and a vampy aficionado) you might remember OPI Black Cherry Chutney or Midnight in Moscow as the vampy Holy Grail. Well, this one has a much stronger lit-from-within glow to it. Top notch formula, perfect by the second coat.

Lotus is my absolute favorite from this set and a bright orchid pink crelly with an intense gold and pink shimmer. It was really hard to photograph and trust me, I did NOT do it justice. It has a dark-around-the-edge look and is insanely packed with shimmers. I'm seriously head over heels and might have gone overboard with the pictures, sorry... Butter smooth application, fully opaque in 2 coats.
