Holy Holo Fishnets, Batman!

I LOVE holographic polishes, I mean, who doesnt, right?
But seriously, I'm borderline obsessed with having them all,
so naturally when Color Club announced their 
Halo Hues collection, I was all over that!

The overall intensity of this collection is really awesome and 
the first shade to stick out for me was
Halo-graphic, a gorgeous soft pink.

So I decided to grab for it with this weeks mani.

As my base I used China Glaze in QT, from another
great holo collection, OMG collection.
Then I sponged down the center of each nail with Color Club's Halo-graphic.

I then topped it off with a fishnet stamp from the X-large Cheeky stamping plate B and, 
VOILA! 

 





China Glaze QT and Color Cub Halo-graphic 




 I'm seriously in love with my fingers right now.



HOLO-RRIFIC!

Enchanted Polish + Lynnderella = Sparkly Cotton Candy Goodness

A couple of weeks back, I was lucky enough to nab some fantastic polishes from Indie brand Enchanted Polish

These are a MUST-HAVE for any holo lover, 
really, they are all completely stunning! 

The moment I saw Disco Barbie, I knew I had to have it. 
I've been searching for ages for a bright bubblegum pink holo.
OMG this doesn't disappoint! 
Flawless application in just a single coat with a medium-strength linear holo. 



YUM YUM!!


But, because I can never leave well enough alone, I grabbed another
stunner from Enchanted, called Ocean Potion, an amazing ocean Turquoise holo and sponged the tips.




And again, with me always going for the " More, is more" rule :)
I then grabbed Lynnderella's Boy-Girl Party and layered on top. 

Ahhhh perfection, Dolly style!




DELISH Sparkly Cotton Candy!





Enchanted Polish can be purchased at both Llarowe 
as well as her own Etsy shop and retail for $15. each

Lynnderella polishes can also be purchased at Llarowe,
and are $15. each.

A England - Saint George

I've been stalking Llarowe for what seems like ages
for this gem. Finally it was back in stock and I nabbed it
as quickly as possible!

This is not only my first Llawore purchase, but it is
also my first A-Engliand polish.
It was completely worth the wait.




Saint George is a intense Green Teal holo.
 These are the shades I always tend to gravitate towards, 
not only because the color is insanely gorgeous, 
but also because it works great with my skin tone. 

The formula, wow, absolute perfection,
and the saturation of color allowed this to go on
with a single coat. 



I can't stop staring at my hands.

Saint George retails for $12 and is available on Llarowe
 or you can purchase
it directly from  A-England

HOLO LOVE!

Between the new A-England legends collection, and Glitter Gal, I've been seriously lemming for some deep, rich holos.
But every time I try to buy them, they are SOLD OUT! 
So to satisfy my fix, I took my newest Dollish Polish creation
Space, The Final Frontier 
and added some holo pigment to it and VIOLA! 
It's not a great a G.G. Lizard Belly, but it still puts a smile on my face!

OPI - DS Glamour






Though I'm not a huge lover of Blue, 
this polish is one of my all time coveted polishes.
From OPI's Designer series, this highly sought after shade
is a vivid Royal Blue prismatic polish.
While it's no secret that OPI is not even close to being 
on of my personal top 
brands, the formula on this gem is TOP NOTCH, 
needing just a single coat for this superb brilliance. 

Pure holo goodness.

Getting My Holo Fix

So a couple weeks back was my birthday,
and not only did I get some amazing gifts, 
but I was also lucky enough to get some cash too.
(You can never go wrong with the green stuff)


So I decided that rather than blowing my money on nonsense,
I would get some polishes to add to my collection.
But oh no, not just any polishes! 
Holographic/prismatic polishes that I have an obsession with.
These are highly coveted holo polishes.
I have been lemming for what seems like ages for these
and now they are mine!!
MWAHHHHH!

I paid an arm & a leg for these, 
but they are SO worth it!!


So yeah, I was one of the poor saps that saw 
the China Glaze OMG collection and thought,
" Do I really need anymore polish?, Nah, I won't get them"
Yeah, I know, stupid move, because they sold out, 
and then I realized, I MUST HAVE THESE!
I've been lucky enough to find a couple here and there, 
but 2 in particular I couldn't find except for E-bay.
So I splurged and grabbed QT and LOL




QT is a Fuschia holo.
The one thing I can say about the OMG collection
that you can't say about many others and that is, they look
BETTER on the nail than in the bottle.
Pure. Pink Love.



LOL is a deep Purple holo.
I was surprised to see the color, most swatches I've seen
portrayed the shade of Purple to be much brighter.
Still, this an AMAZING shade, and I am not
disappointed in the slightest.
Again, the vibrancy of the holo once it's swatched is really striking.


Next, I picked up My Private Jet.
I'm sure most of you polish lovers know that OPI has 
reformulated this shade for reasons I cannot understand. 
As I know, the older formulation had a much more vibrant holo.



My Private Jet is a blackened-Brown with a subtle holo.
Though I am bummed about this being the new formula,
as apposed to the old one, 
I'm still happy to have it as part of my collection.

Lastly, I went for the OPI Designer Series collection
I'm pretty open about my general distaste for OPI.
I think they are extremely over-hyped, and over priced
for a polish formula that is just MEH to me.
( Sorry to all you OPI lovers!)
But, with that being said, they do from time to time
hit the mark with a certain color, 
or in this case, and entire collection.



I picked up DS Coronation, frankly because 
I am obsessed with finding the perfect, "in your face" Silver holo.
While it missed the mark in that department, 
it is still vibrant enough that I'm happy to add it to my collection.
From what I am told, Nfu-Oh #61 seems to be the
kick-ass Silver holo I am looking for, but it is sold out.
:((
Incidentally, if you are looking for a dupe for this shade,
try Milani's 3D Holographic polish in HD.
While swatching Coronation, I placed it on my color wheel
next o HD and it was virtually identical.



And lastly, the final polish I picked up was
DS Glamour.
This is one shade that is completely 
worth the hype & every dime I paid.
If my house was burning down, this is one of the 
things I'd run back into the flames for. 
Seriously.
This polish is so drool-worthy, I haven't even brought myself
to put it away, it's just sitting on my desk, 
making me smile each time I lay eyes on it.


Here are swatches.





So what is your favorite holographic/prismatic polish??
What polishes are must haves that you would recommend?

Early Spring...or just wishful thinking

Today I decided to combination my two latest obsessions...or perhaps it's three. 
Green Polish
Holo Polish
Moonicure's

Because I am SO damned tired of winter, the snow and dull,gray days....I grabbed for China Glaze's "L8R G8R". This awsome spring green Holo.
But, that wasn't enough for me, I then took Claire's "Evergreen" and gave myself a moonicure.

*WARNING*
L8R G8R DOES stain nails. It is essential to use base coat when wearing this polish.

Ahhhh, that's more like it. I'm really into these two-toned moonicure's lately. They are so simple, but so pretty. So, for now at least, I can pretend, if only for a few minutes that it's actually Spring outside.

Here's a couple other Holo's I grabbed.
From Milani's new line, this is a "Hi-Res", a light purple Holo.
And China Glaze's "Rated Holographic", which I believe is from the OMG Collection, as well as "L8R G8R"


 
I'm very pleased with all 3 of these, and I'm sure Ill be picking up more.
In the meantime, I hope this Spring moonicure holds me over till the sun finally comes out.
