holo gradient fail

It'll make me feel better to point out just a FEW things wrong about this--did I even clean this up? Didn't I know you're supposed to take pictures of holos in the sun? This makes me sad. Anyway, my original plain Cherubic nails chipped to fast to get pics and it had been really grey here. So...craptastic. Jacked up. Sorry. 

These Color Club Halo Hues holos are really holo and really cheap. I used an aqua base here. 

The layers are Jade Seducao Rose, China Glaze L8R G8R (nearly invisible), and Color Club Cherubic.

Happy Holos pt. 3

One of the most holo-ey holographic polishes I've seen is from the makeup store. They have a great line of holo polishes and I'm lucky enough to have Madeleine, a light gold or nude-ish holo. This polish is so fiery that it even glitters in the dark. 

However, it chips very easily and requires an aqua base for proper application. The first time I wore it, it chipped overnight. This time it didn't chip until the next day, not bad at all.

I forgot to mention! The fourth finger (ring finger) has no topcoat and the rest are wearing HK Girl Topcoat from Glisten and Glow. Once it dried, I didn't find it to dull the effect whatsoever. Awesome!

This doesn’t look like much in the bottle, I’ll admit. I swapped for it because I wanted a Jade holo so much, but it was my least favorite of the pinks and reds. I thought it looked mauve and old lady in the bottle but when I put it on—bam!! Somewhere between sweet, yet seductive Barbie and every so slightly dusty rose office appropriate yet eye-blinding rainbow fire in sunlight holo (I was lucky to catch about 30 seconds of semi-sun on a rainy day for this). It looks even better and fire-ier in true sunlight.

What a fantastic surprise! I can’t really recall a time when I’ve felt…sexy? Wearing nail polish, haha! Whoever named this polish hit the nail on the head. Seducao it is. If you’ve worn it, I think you know what I mean.

As for wear, it did chip the next day (sorry about the ugly chipping D;), but not as quickly as some holos have on me (ChG OMG collection and MUS come to mind). I used NFU-oh aqua base under it and that worked very well for adhesion, though I didn’t try it without a base.

I cannot wait to get the rest of the collection <3 happy holo to all! And to all a good night :)
