Colors by Llarowe Plum Ready For Summer

Plum Ready For Summer was released this month by Colorado-based indie polish maker Colors by Llarowe as part of the Winter 2017 collection. Officially described as "a medium plum with a glowing prismatic holographic finish and a strong orchid flame," the color is a sumptuous, saturated medium Munsell purple shade. Ultrafine holographic pigment makes the brilliant color richly dimensional and luminous on the nail in ambient light, with a warm, glowing magenta heart that shades gradually to deep plum at the edges of the nail. Gorgeous!

Application was fabulous. The consistency of Plum Ready For Summer is fluid and silky smooth with an eminently-paintable, medium viscosity and a lush, buttery, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is excellent. One medium coat will deliver evenly opaque coverage, but use two for extra depth and richness. Cleanup is straightforward. There's a bit of pigment travel as you'd expect from such a saturated color but little to no trace staining. Plum Ready For Summer dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat does not interfere with the holographic effects in any way.

Love! The color is just delicious -- bold and vivid -- and that gorgeous prismatic bloom gives it a plush, velvety dimensionality on the nail that I find almost heartbreakingly beautiful. My exaggerated covet response went into play the moment I saw my first swatch photos if it on My Nail Polish Obsession, and it's every bit as amazing in person, if not more so. From what I understand, the entire collection will be restocked and available for purchase on 1 December. Make a note, 'cause you need this polish!
