Saturday morning started out like our typical Saturdays around here: the kids woke up early- they clearly don't believe in sleeping in on the weekends; my husband kept them busy and relatively quiet while I attempted to get a little more rest, and we had family breakfast together. I had sat down to paint my nails, and after applying my base coat and browsing my phone while it dried, I saw the news: Little Richard had died. To say Little Richard was a rock 'n' roll icon is a massive understatement. As someone that was so influential for other musical icons, he truly was rock 'n' roll personified. I don't remember what I was originally planning to put on my nails Saturday, but I immediately switched gears to a beauty I haven't worn in quite some time. It's been awhile since I've visited my Throwback Thursday Beauty Series (#TBTBeauty), but what could be better than Colors by Llarowe Good Golly Miss Molly, worn in memory of a rock 'n' roll legend!
For some, it may seem frivolous or silly to celebrate someone by painting one's nails; I disagree. Those that are particularly interested in nail polish can look at a colour and know it by name and understand the inspiration behind it. It isn't "just a colour" but instead another form of creative expression. The inspiration may vary across different brands, but there is no doubt that those that design collections do so carefully to fit their specific themes.
Good Golly Miss Molly was a limited edition release back in January 2014, and it sold out very quickly! I was so thankful to have purchased a bottle, and as you can see from my old blog post back then, it is still as lovely now as it was six years ago.
It feels like it has been a difficult few years as beloved celebrities and legends have died, some of which have had a strong impact on my childhood. I know it is the nature of life- it always comes to an end, but it still is shocking somehow. A part of me always feels sad, but I like to celebrate someone's life after they have passed. I'd like to think Little Richard would have approved of this interpretation. It certainly has been my pleasure to wear it in his memory this week.
Unfortunately, Colors by Llarowe is no longer creating nail polish other than possibly on occasion for the Polish Pickup. I generally try to keep unavailable products off my blog posts, but I had to make an exception for this post.
I hope you are doing well this week! Until next time, dear readers, please stay safe and healthy!
