Holographic Party: Color Club Halo Hues Picks

Hi guys! So When I saw the Color Club Halo Hues collection was coming out, i was amazed at how amazing these polishes looked! They have the holographic quality of China Glaze OMG, Nfu Oh, old OPI DS polishes and many other amazing brands. I only picked up two, because I own sooo many holos ahaand these aren't particularly cheap

This one is Angel Kiss which is a light sea-foam green.

This was three thin coats.

Now, I also got Blue Haven and when they arrived I was suprised how similar these two are.

Maybe because I swatched them one after another, but they look the same to me, especially in the sun.

Zoya Ornate Collection 2012: Aurora

Hi guys! Today I'm showing you Zoya Aurora from their holiday Ornate collection. Aurora is a medium-dark purple base PACKED with holographic particles. It is actually more holographic in real life, and deffinately the most holographic of the collection. The holographic particles aren't chunky making this a glitter, it's a very smooth polish and was easy to remove. I used two coats.

This is the only one of the Zoya colours from this collection that made me say WOW out loud when I put it on my nails and stepped into the sun lol

Thanks for reading!

Nfu Oh #62

Hi guys! Today I thought I'd pull out another of my nfu-Oh holos! This one is #62 and it's a beigey/tan shade with a strong linear holographic effect.

I used two super thin coats. Be aware that nfu-oh holos tend to bring out the worst in your nails, I'm talking every dent, nick and ridge so try a ridge filling basecoat (or topcoat) underneath in attempt to smooth out the nail.

Nfu-Oh nail polishes are available from http://www.crushcosmetics.com.au/  shipping internationally :)

Nfu Oh #61 Nothin' Like A Holo on a Beautiful Sunny Day

Hi guys! Today I'm showing you a holo from Nfu Oh. This is #61 the basic silver holo but it's so much more than that. I bought this from crush cosmetics.com  and was so dissapointed when I recieved it a few months back as it did not look holo at all, especially compared to other nfu-ohs I have. BUT when I finally decided to wear it I was amazed at how amazing it is! Just as holo as the others!

A-England Bridal Veil

Hi guys! So today I wanted to try out another A-England product I recieved a few months back. This one is from their Legend collection and it's called Bridal Veil.

I was a little dissapointed when I got this polish as I was hoping it would be a bit more holographic, but it is still very pretty and I really enjoyed wearing it. I used one coat.

Are there any polishes you've picked up thinking they were holo but ended up being a bit disapointed

A-England Tristam!

Hi guys! Today I'm going to show you another A-England polish.

This is Tristam from last years Mythicals collection. Tristam is pretty much the blue version of Lady of The Lake, however it's holographic effect is more scattered. I needed two coats for full opacity and it applied lovely like all A-Englands.

I've included a blurry photo to show off the prismatic effect a bit better.

A-England polishes can be purchased from Llarowe or directly from A-England.co.uk

Nubar Reclaim!

Hi guys! It was nice and sunny today so I decided to put on Nubar Reclaim from their Going Green Collection. Reclaim is a linear green holo! I used two coats for full opacity and it applied easily.

A-England St. George

Hi guys, sorry, long time no post, my internet connection has been down for what feels like forever aha. I finally spend the dreaded six hours to the ISP and got it fixed yay!

So today I'm going to show you a polish I wore a few days ago now ahaha

This is A-Englands St. George from their 2012 Ledgends collection. St. George is a gorgeous green leaning teal with a subtle holographic/prismatic effect. This applied amazingly in ONE coat.

I'm really upset I couldn't get a great photo of this :(

A-England Lady of The Lake: Swatch & Comparison

Hi guys, so the sun finally came out today!! So I'm going to show you A-Englands Lady of The Lake!

Lady of the lake is a blue toned purple with a sight dustyness to it with a subtle holographic effect!

And in the shade.

I also decided to do a comparison shot for you guys!

On the Left is Nubar Treasure, Middle A-England Lady of The Lake, Right Color Club Wild At Heart

To me, the closest is Color Club Wild At Heart. I'm torn between which I prefer, the Color Club is much more holo and has this sort of inner glow I find really beautiful, it is also a lot more opaque than the A-England. However, The A-England's dustyness and cooler tones make it much more flattering on my skintone.

A-England polishes can be purchased at A-England.co.uk for £9.00 which as of today converts to just over 13 Australian dollars and  just over 14 US Dollars. A-England also have free international shipping.

Alternatively, A-England can be purchased from Llarowe for $12 USD plus postage and handling, which is still pretty reasonable. 

China Glaze DV8 & Nail Polish Ring!

Hi guys, today I'm showing you one of my alltime favourite polishes!

China Glaze DV8 from the OMG collection! I used two easy thin coats for this teal holographic goodness!

 I'm also wearing this awesome nail polish ring I got from etsy. This was made with Bandeau by Urban Outfitters (I'd never heard of this, but I think I need it!) and OPI DS Shimmer.

Candy Laquer Peyton & China Glaze Bahemian Escape

Hi guys!

So this week I did my first "indie polish" brand order.. I ordered from Candy Lacquer on Etsy.

In my oppinion the problem with indie sellers is that they are often out of stock, don't get me wrong, I understand that they are handmade and that takes time and money, but it is frustrating sometimes. Before going indie shopping also keep in mind that these shops go on holidays so you may not be able to order when you want.

Regardless of this, the service was very good and shipping was quick, the products were well packaged as well.

The first polish I'll show you is called Peyton, it's a spectraflair topcoat! The formula is nice and easy to apply. While it's not the most IN YOUR FACE holo around, it does have a fair degree of rainbow. In my pictures it's a little subtler as I had barely any sun!

I layered one coat of Peyton over China Glaze Bahemian Escape.

Candy Lacquer is available on Etsy HERE. Most polish retails for $8 per 15mL, but Peyton if I remember correctly was $12.

Color Club Fashion Addict

Hi guys!

Super quick post today I'm sorry. Here is color clubs Fashion Addict. I did two easy coats.
Fashion Adict is a light lavender with holo effect walking the line between scattered and linear.
Here is a comparison of Fashion Addict with OPI DS Original and ChG IDK

China Glaze FYI

Hi guys, here is the last OMG polish I own that hasn't been shown before. This so far is my least favourite OMG. (DV8's my favourite)

FYI is a tan-nude holo but it is a lot more yellow/gold than I expected.

I received a decanted amount of FYI as an extra in a swap on MUA.

Excuse the smudges :S

China Glaze IDK: Swatch & Comparison

Hi guys, today I'm showing you China Glaze IDK. IDK is a gorgeous light purple with a strong linear holographic effect. It applied well in two coats.

Here's a comparison swatch I did a while back when I swatched OPI DS Original.

China Glaze OMG

Hi guys, today I thought I'd go through some of my China Glaze OMG polishes, so stay tuned in the next few days for additional swatches.

I thought I'd start off with OMG itself. Unfortunately my bottle is only half full since I found it at a dusty, but I love it none the less. This is three coats.

Nfu Oh #65 Swatch & Comparison

Hi guys, so today I'm showing you Nfu Oh # 65. This is the most amazing holo!

A beautiful pale blue with a strong linear holo effect.

I've heard these polishes getting flack for being hard to apply but I didn't experience this. I did not wear a basecoat or topcoat and it applied fine. The formula is on the thin side, but it isn't sheer. I used two coats.

Here is a comparison shot I did a while back of some of my light blue holos

ORLY Frisky HOLO-FIED!

Hi guys, so yesterday I wore ORLY Frisky from the 2011 Happy Go Lucky Collection, I tried this colour when it first came out, and I loved it, but the staining, my god the staining! I don't mean my nails got a yellow tinge I mean my whole hands were blue! & Polish remover would not remove it (with acetone!) I had to use a special stain removing soap my dad had for getting like oil and grease or whatever out of clothes. But anyway, About a year later I decided to try it again, and my application has severely improved so I didn't get much on my skin at all, and what did, didn't stain. 

NOTE: I have not yet removed Frisky but will let you know if it stains  again :)

Anyway, onto the polish, it's a beautiful aqua leaning blue with brilliant opacity. 

I wore it like this to work for a day before wanting to spruce it up, I asked on MUA and I got reccomended flakies, but for some reason i was skeptical, and I'm glad I didn't listen because this morning I had a light bulb! DS Sapphire!

When I did my Pale blue Holo comparison I was seriously considering swapping away Sapphire simply because it was so sheer However I'm glad I thought because of that I could use it as a topcoat and kept it.\

Now how freakin' amazing is that! 

I have no words, just smiles.

Water Marble Attempt!

Hi guys, so this is my second water marble attempt and while I'm not happy with my pattern or design this turned out much better than my first attempt :)

Here I used China Glaze Light As Air & For Audrey as well as Color Club Fashion Addict! I really like this combination! :)
