A Box, Indied: March - Spring Theory - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 
*These products are Cruelty Free 


A Box, Indied
March: Spring Theory




This box launches for pre-order at Llarowe on March 1st and the pre-order will remain open through March 4th so that everyone has a chance to order.




Black Cat Lacquer Eggcellent - This one is an aqua/teal crelly full of satin and matte pastel glitters and a touch of pink/purple shimmer. I used 3 light coats and one coat of top coat for the photos. No issues with formula or application. All the glitters came out without fishing or placing and laid flat on the nail, well suspended in the base.









-------------------------------------------------------------------

Contrary Polish Read My Tulips - This one is a red-violet purple with lots of not-so-shy shimmer. I can't really tell what color the shimmer is, but suspended in this base it appears copper on the nail. No issues at all to report. Two coats and one coat of top coat for the photos. Well, that's a lie - one issue, but it's MINE and not the polish's. It's super hard for me, as a non-photographer, to photograph with color-accuracy. So a few of the photos are cell pics. They appear smaller here and are the most color-accurate.








------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crowstoes Mad as a March Hare - this one is a clear-based topper full of iridescent shimmer and flakes. It can be worn alone for a soft, ethereal look and you can see that over at My Nail Polish Obsession here where she's wearing it alone. I'm showing it over grey, pink, red and black and then again over OPI My Vampire is Buff and black. One coat with one coat of top coat. No issues to report.












----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fair Maiden Going Off the Peep End - This one is a nicely saturated pink linear holo with what looks to be silver micro-flakes. This could definitely be a one-coater but I did use 2 with one coat of top coat. No issues at all.










------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Girly Bits Sprout and About - This one is a cool-toned spearminty blue-green with a metallic look. It's holo and has tons of holo micro-flakes and it looks like more but I can't identify all the ingredients. Two coats with one coat of top coat. No issues at all.










---------------------------------------------------------------------------



This box launches for pre-order at Llarowe on March 1st and the pre-order will remain open through March 4th so that everyone has a chance to order.

The price will still be $50 and the free shipping for the US is still in effect on the Llarowe site.

Because this is essentially a maker collaboration box, like before, and not specifically a Llarowe product, rewards points will not be accrued for ABI. Please remember this ships from a different location so it must be ordered separately from any other items. Shipping will begin on or about the 15th.

There is no limit on how many boxes you can order.


5 random $25 GCs each month!
