It seems like I've had a trend lately to wear 2 polishes by the same brand back-to-back pretty frequently. In any case, since the last Llarowe color only got partial spotlight from me...

Once upon a time last May, Llarowe dropped swatch pics of her May 2017 color of the month in a few groups so that I managed to notice it before it was gone (these were only sold for a day or so right at the beginning of the month). There had to be no way in heaven and earth for the polish to glow like those swatch photos said it would, but just in case it was even sorta close, I jumped on that with a quickness.

Now that I've actually gotten around to wearing this one? Absolutely not disappointed, this is magic. Emerald Illusion is a devastatingly vibrant emerald green duochromatic shimmer in a rich aqua base. Dead-on in bright light, it's absolutely GREEN:

But then in lower light, it picks up a bit of oceanic aqua around the edges from the base color:

And then on top of that, the shimmer flips to a luscious cobalt blue at angles:

The formula was fantastic, and needed only 2 coats for complete opacity. I loved this amazing flash of colors so much that I wore it for most all of the week (what?!), topping it off with an asian-styled cloud design from Creative Shop 88 using MoYou London Silver Fox.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars, all the way. Formula, color, wear time - all flawless, and this is an easy fave in my collection.
Where to buy: blog sales & destashes, the life of a LE polish hunter. EDIT: Llarowe brought this fan fave back as part of her transfer over to
Color 4 Nails - grab it there!
