Beach Day = More Orange

Hello! I've scheduled this post because as you read this, I'll be at the beach with my friends from school, HOPEFULLY getting a tan [finally!]. So in honor of beach day, you get to see more orange polish, because it's just about the most summery thing I can think of.

It looks so citrusy to me:] This is 2 coats of OPI Ya'll Come Back, You Hear? and 2 coats of BB Couture Horned Devil. The OPI has a terrible, terrible name. Just.... why?? Buttttttttttt, it's a pretty, squishy, shiny jelly, and it looks great under Horned Devil. Speaking of which, that iridescent microglitter? Makes me want every single BB Couture in the planet.

What is everyone up to today?? Anyone get that Zoya Pintrest Trio last night?

Layering with flakies, or how I never want to take this mani off.

I interrupt the OPF series to bring you one of my all time favorite manis ever:

it doesn't translate super well to pictures, but Chuva is a dark blue flakie [with sparse copper flakes mixed in] in a light yellow sheer base.

LOOK AT THAT. Dyinggggg. This was absolutely one my my most favorite manis ever. & it was an accident!:] So I got my order from Llarowe in, but I didn't have enough time to change my polish completely, so I put on 2 coats of Ludurana's Chuva [Portuguese for "rain"] on top of my existing mani of one coat BB Couture's Napa Valley Red, with 2 coats of NYX Dorothy. I can't even tell you how pretty this was IRL.

Couple of notes about the Ludurana flakie: it's a polish from Brazil that I got from Llarowe. Okay, completely serious, I cannot believe how AMAZING the customer service at Llarowe is. An amazingly nice woman named Leah Ann runs it all, & she is so incredibly considerate of her customers. Also, shipping is dirt cheap, & I ordered on Friday, it shipped Saturday, I got the polishes in my mailbox by Monday. Plus, Leah Ann was nice enough to contact me via email about certain orders. she's also really active on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Llarowe/126027514153022 . I can't recommend her enough!!
