Hello ladies! Tonight I have another beauty from Colors by Llarowe to share with you - the intriguingly titled "Connie You Saucy Minx!"...I have no idea what meaning there might be behind that name, if it's a pop culture reference then it's lost on me...What I do know is that this is utterly fabulous!

Connie..is an indigo jelly base with a rich mixture of magenta and gold shimmer particles. The pink shimmer really comes through strongly on this, and against the indigo background its absolutely stunning. I have a hunch that this shade might come out pretty close to
Cirque's "Coronation" which I had a major lemming for (but sadly not the budget to match). It does also remind me of Max Factor Fantasy Fire, although with FF it took about 8 coats to approach this level of opacity and it wasn't this pretty.

I'm wearing a generous two coats here, and you can see from this swatch that the jelly base does leave it a little translucent around the tips, but no VNL. I used my usual NE base, and topped it off with Essie Good to Go. Formula and application were both excellent on this, and like all the CbL polishes I tried the wear time was a heroic 7 days before it chipped. The finish is also naturally nice and glossy, but I used the Essie topcoat to extend the wear time.

I'm so in love with this polish, it's one of the prettiest purples I own (and that's saying something because I have a LOT of purple in my stash). This is all kinds of gorgeous, I highly recommend it :)

| Under the halogen bulbs in my kitchen this shade is crazy gorgeous! |
This polish is gorgeous in every light, but especially under artificial lighting conditions. For some reason the bulbs in my kitchen really bring this polish to life...just look at that glow! Phwoar!
