The Handmade Perspective: Monday Mani: CbL Rainbow Connection Birthday Exclusive Loving Every Moment

This past week, I have had the fun of spearheading a group buy for Rainbow Connection's exclusive Colors By Llarowe polish called Loving Every Moment that was made for RC's 2nd anniversary. When I opened the box, I was blown away by the gorgeousness. Seriously, this is some CbL to the next level. And I instantly knew this would be hard to photograph.

Application was on the thicker side than I'm used to for the CbL's I currently own, but that may be due to the rich complexity and intense holoness of this polish. It's opaque enough that you could probably get away with it being a one coater with the right application technique, but I did two to really pop out that richness. My nails like CbL so the polish dried quick, and slightly gel like. My kind of polish! Depending on lighting, it can lean pink or blue. I've noticed natural light it leans blue and artificial light it leans pink. And the times it's a straight up purple the richness and depth is drool worthy. This polish is one of those you appreciate even more in person and can't capture it fully on camera.

I tried taking lots of pictures in several types of lighting. As a result, some are a little blurry - it wouldn't play nice with the camera and sometimes the blurry ones capture the essence best (perhaps you've heard sometimes blurry photos capture intense holo best?). This beauty you can purchase from the Rainbow Connection site. It's been selling fast and I don't know how many restocks there will be!
