Hello again lovelies! Today marks the beginning of some swatch spam! As most of you already know, I've been having some technical difficulties. As in things keep either breaking or burning out. Yesterday was the final straw, when my power was out for most of the daylight hours. Last week it was the evil crumbling SD card, and before that my lights, a killer cold, blah blah blah. The other day all my photos came out with a heavy red cast and I had to spend hours trying to correct the color. Sheesh. I tell you, I was ready to just quit.
Buuuut.....everything is now replaced and working! And I have power. Red cast to my photos has been corrected (it helps if you white balance to the ambient light) and I've been swatching the morning away.
First up for today is a polish from Tawdry Terrier, a new Indie Brand with an awesome canine theme. Tadry Terrier just opened shop at the end of July, but they already have a plethora of awesome colors available. The color I'm sharing today is called Playing In The Leaf Pile, from the Autumn In The Barkshires Collection. This polish looks exactly like it sounds - a gorgeous blend of purple, red, orange, brown, gold, and green glitters in an Orangey Bronze glass fleck base- this girl immediately reminded me of raking up leaves with my father and jumping into the pile.
This is 2 coats topped with HK Girl Top Coat:
Tell me this polish doesn't look like a leaf pile in a bottle! It really makes me long for the days when we had huge piles of leaves to play in. And that base color! It's actually a bit of a chameleon - shifting from a shimmery orange to a glowing bronze depending on the light. Those glitters are gorgeous as well - the green really pops out at me, and the red glitters seem more of a burgundy color, which really makes my little heart sing. Oranges tend to make me a little pink, but hey....if we all stopped wearing colors that made out skin tones a bit odd, we'd be pretty limited, right? And c'mon - are you looking at this polish? How could I NOT wear this??
Playing In The Leaf Pile's formula is perfection, which is impressive since it is just loaded with glitter. Normally a glitter polish like this is on the thick side, but PITLP's consistency was on the thinner side, while still being thick enough to hold all that glitter. Application was excellent with no dragging, balding, clumpy glitters, etc. Opacity is excellent - this is almost a 1 coater! Dry time was incredibly fast with my nails completely dry before I was even able to top coat.
I am so very impressed with Tawdry Terrier so far. I have 2 more beauties from TT to share with you over the next few days, and I am so excited. I love finding a great new Indie Brand, and Tawdry Terrier not only has impressed me with their formula and application, but their colors and glitter mixes are so unique and beautiful. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more from this brand.
You can find Tawdry Terrier on Etsy. Full size polishes will run you $10 each, and full collections (7 polishes) run $60. Playing In The Leaf Pile is an LE, so make sure to grab it while it's still available. I highly recommend taking a peak at Hahvahd Hound, Pawsome Pines (I'll have those 2 posted this week!), Bloodsucking Bitch and Dawg of The Dead while you're there. You can also follow Tawdry Terrier on Facebook to stay up to date on new releases, sales, re-stocks and swatches.
What do you think of Playing In the Leaf Pile? What's your favorite thing about fall?
I'll be back with some awesomeness from Cinema Swatch Lacquers, Love Angeline, and more!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
