Finally I’m posting something for Kerstin’s Holo Friday! Here’s an old favorite of mine, the gorgeous dark pink QT from the now legendary OMG! collection. I wore this a while back, but I’m pretty sure I settled with three coats as I usually do. A dark hot pink holographic polish, can it get any better?
Here’s a few shots of this beauty in the sun:
Such a beautiful polish!
It’s past dinner time here so I’ll just throw in a quickie today for Holo Friday. It’s one uneven coat of Milani Hi-Tech on top of China Glaze Gaga For Green (I’ll show that one on it’s own some other time). Green and happy! I was in a hurry when I did this so it’s not the polish’s fault =)
Just a quick post today with something I found from November last year: the dark holographic purple Lady of the Lake from A England. I don’t really remember how many coats I applied, but probably two or three. It’s really quite beautiful in the sun:
In the shade it mostly looks like a normal purple shimmer:
I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!
I’m taking a little break from my Easter preparations to show you my contribution to Kerstin’s Holo Friday, Milani Cyberspace layered on top of China Glaze Midnight Mission. I had been wearing the dark blue Midnight Mission for a few days before I added a coat of the light blue holographic polish Cyberspace from the Milani 3D collection. I really like the dark blue shade this combination gave.
Fortunately the sun was out so I could get some decent photos.
The scattered holographic effect is wonderful, I didn’t really manage to capture all of its beauty.
And finally a shot in the shade:
Tonight I’ll be working on my Easter manicure, I’m thinking of going with yellow and pink. Do you have any plans for what to wear on your nails for Easter?
So, it’s time for Holo Fri.. Saturday? I haven’t had time to try a new holographic polish this week, but I managed to dig up some old photos from October last year. I’ve shown the purple holographic LOL from China Glaze once before on the blog, but that was a long time ago and with not so good photos. I don’t remember how many coats I did, but probably three or four, And I don’t think I had any major problems with dragging.
And thankfully I managed to capture this one in the sun:
I’ve probably worn it for a few days here, hence the tip wear. It’s a dark cool purple, the sun probably made it look a bit warmer here.
This is one of my favorites from the OMG collection, purple and holographic can never go wrong!
Wohoo it’s time for Kertin’s Holo Friday! The next polish I’ve tried from A England’s new Legend collection is the nearly black Bridal Veil, which also has a scattered holographic effect as most of the others in the collection. It was opaque in two coats and then I added Seche Vite on top. I have to say that I really like this polish! Okay, I am a bit weak for black shades, but the holographic particles makes it more special, even if the effect isn’t super strong.
Time for pic spam!
And I also took a photo in the shade:
It looks mostly black with tiny silver shimmer.
I decided to do some comparisons as well with some other polishes in my collection. Say hello to Color Club Revvvolution and Eyeko Cosmic polish:
L-R: Color Club Revvvolution, A England Bridal Veil – Eyeko Cosmic Polish
L-R: Color Club Revvvolution, A England Bridal Veil – Eyeko Cosmic Polish
As you can see Bridal Veil is much darker than Revvvolution, and doesn’t have such a strong holographic effect. The particles also seem to be of a finer grain in BV. Cosmic Polish isn’t really a real holographic polish as it only has holographic glitter in it, but I thought it could be interesting to add as a reference.
Sminkan and Annie wanted to see Dragon from A England when I showed my latest hauls, so that’s what I have for you on this Holo Friday. It’s a gorgeous mossy and muted green color, with a pretty decent holographic effect. You can also see a coppery flash to it in certain angles which makes it even more interesting.
Update: I forgot to write how many coats I used! Two coats, and it was a dream to apply! I then topped it off with Seche Vite and it dried pretty quick.
It was a bit cloudy when I started my photo session, but then the sun eventually showed up to reveal the beauty of this Dragon.
The next photo is taken while the sun was hiding a little:
And then I took a couple with flash to show more of the holographic properties:
I love dragons, and I do love this polish as well! I was trying to find a photo of a dragon and I remembered having this one on the site (if you check out the photos link in the top menu). Let me present to you my masterpiece: The Chicken and the Dragon.
I’ts been another hectic week at work, and here I am again on Holo Friday. I really need to squeeze in some more posts between all the holos! I don’t have a new manicure to show you today, but I found some unedited photos of Color Club Revvvolution that I wore a few months back. Hello long nails!
I’ve worn this one for a few times, and so far it’s one of my favorites in my collection. It’s a dark grey shade with a scattered holographic effect. I know there are different versions of Revvvolution out there and I’m not really sure which one I have. But it sure is pretty! I don’t remember how many coats I put on, but probably two or three. It’ nice to work with and dries pretty fast.
First a couple of photos in the sun:
Here’s a shot in indirect light:
And the last one is under my desk lamp:
And with this I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
Wohoo it’s Holo Friday again! This time I’m showing you the yellowish golden colored GR8 from the China Glaze OMG collection. I’m not really that into warm golden shades, but if it’s holographic it’s hard to resist!
This is three thin coats that dried super quickly as the others in this collection, and no top coat.
I’m glad the sun wanted to show up for a while so I could take these photos.
The holo effect doesn’t seem that strong as with some of the other polishes, it could be that it blends in more with the base color. It still looks pretty, though.
It’s not a favorite from the collection, but I’m still glad to have it.
The sun was out today, so it was perfect for showing off this beauty from the China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection, the silvery grey holographic Let’s Do It In 3D. I applied four coats and it dried quickly as most holos do. I think this one will become one of my favorite scattered holos, it’s just perfect!
And now, some pic spam:
I also took a photo inside to show what it looks like without the rainbow colors:
I hope to get my hands on a few more polishes from this collection, I love the ones I have so far!
