CrowsToes Tiki Torch Swatch And Review

I was reading Women's Health today(I don't know why, but somehow I have a subscription) and in the beauty section, it mentioned that 75% of women prefer red or pink nail polish.  Could that possibly be true?  I would say a majority of my polish is not pink or red at all - is anyone else in the same category as me?  Do you think that statistic is true?

CrowsToes is a brand that holds a lot of mystery to me, possibly because I don't see a lot of swatches of it online, or maybe because I don't follow the blogs that showcase them often.  I find the finishes to be quite extraordinary and quite unlike most polishes on the market.  Tiki Torch is one such polish, it's your typical plum jelly loaded with holographic microglitter, but somehow CrowToes' version is so much more than that.  It's squisher, juicier, and spiced up with not your typical silver microglitter, but orange!  What a gorgeous contrast the orange makes against the purple base.  And unlike your typical jelly, this had minimal streaking and dragging, and with quick dry time, I had no pulling of the base during subsequent layers.  I used three coats here and finished with a layer of GlitterDaze Super Smooth topcoat.

Don't you just love that juicy goodness?  I want to bite into that!  The orange glitters glint in the light and throws sparks that look like fire, living up to its name of Tiki Torch.  I keep telling myself that I need to expand my collection of CrowsToes, and I know I'm going to love each and every one of them.  There seems to be quite a few available on Llarowe's shop, which you should check out anyway because it's been newly revamped.  Do you have your eyes set on a CrowsToes?

  2. I only have one polish from this brand but I've been eying this one for a while now! It's so gorgeous and I just love the the glitter in this. It looks like embers and makes the polish glow.

  3. Heh, my stash consists of mostly blue, green, and purple polishes, so I guess I'm in the other 25%.

    1. Yeah, I can't wrap my head around that - it seems like everyone is NOT wearing pink or red anymore.... that statistic does not compute!
