CrowsToes Whoopee Cushion from April's A Box, Indied

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have the CrowsToes entry into April's A Box, Indied to share with you! April's box is April Fool's themed and Lauri picked a trickster classic for her inspiration: the Whoopee Cushion! There will be 4 other contributors to April's box, so keep a lookout on Llarowe's Facebook page for previews of the other polishes (and I *may* have a few more in my possession to share with you as well that I will be previewing very soon).

CrowsToes Whoopee Cushion is a pinky-red that has a strong silvery shimmer that dries to a semi-matte finish. I showed it with and without topcoat for you guys, and I think it looks cool both ways. There are also some tiny red flakes/ glitter which add even more interest. Formula was really nice and it built up to opacity in 3 thin coats. This polish is dead-on Whoopee Cushion red and I really enjoy that you can wear it matte or with topcoat for different looks (though I really enjoy how much the shimmer pops with topcoat).






(No topcoat)

Elevation Polish Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffles for February's A Box, Indied

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have the Elevation Polish exclusive for February's A Box, Indied to share with you. The theme of this box is "A Box, Candied", so all of the polishes are candy-themed. The other contributors to this box are Hare Polish, CrowsToes Nail Color, Serum No. 5, and Black Cat Lacquers. February's box will launch on January 26 at 12 PM and 7 PM Mountain time. Keep a watch on Llarowe's Facebook page to see the offerings from the other contributors to the box!

Elevation Polish Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffles is a dark chocolate brown creme with pink and bronze flakes and a sprinkling of holo pigment. The flakes in this polish are just dreamy and you can see them flash when you move your fingers. They are subtle in some lights, but really pop in others (and are EXTREMELY hard to photograph, they are much more apparent in real life...none of this was helped by the fact that there has not been sunlight in my neck of the woods for a WEEK now). The holo sparkle also adds a nice depth to the polish. Lulu loves her browns, and she did such an excellent job on this one! I know everyone isn't a brown lover (I used to be anti-brown myself) but this one just might change your mind! Also...now I want to try a Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffle because that sounds very sexy and delicious!

CrowsToes Even Sugar Melts in the Devil's Mouth for February's A Box, Indied

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have the CrowsToes exclusive for February's A Box, Indied to share with you.
The theme of this box is "A Box, Candied", so all of the polishes are candy-themed. The other contributors to this box are Hare Polish, Elevation Polish, Serum No. 5, and Black Cat Lacquers.

CrowsToes Even Sugar Melts in the Devil's Mouth is a black jelly filled with tiny red flake shimmer and larger translucent white flakes. Formula was really nice and built up easily in 3 thin coats. According to Pointless Cafe's post, this one was inspired by black rock candy, and I think it matches that inspiration perfectly! Leave it to Madam Crow to go for a darker theme when candy is her source of inspiration! LOL! This polish though...so gorgeous! The shimmering depth is just insane! I feel like this polish is the dark, moody (dare I say...devilish?) sister of That Boy is a P-I-G Pig! when Lauri was showing off a bit of her feminine, delicate side. I guess flakes can be ethereal AND evil!
