 Day 1 polish is one I just received today and couldn't resist but to use it right away. It is China Glaze Visit me in prism. It is a light lilac scattered holo that went on smooth in 2 coats. It has very strong holo effect I wish China Glaze would make more of theses beauties.

New 30 Day challenge! Day 1 OPI DS GLAMOUR!!!

Hello Ladies I am back with another 30 Day challenge that was circling around the net and the image was made by my polish buddies on Facebook. This one is a little simpler then the last one since its not all about nail art and you can interpret it any way you like. I will be going on my own pace since the last one was a little crazy and I cant post everyday so I always falling behind. If you would like to participate please feel free to do so the more the merrier :-)

Day 1 is your Favorite polish and my favorite is OPI DS Glamour! This has been my favorite since before I had it lol.. I use to see pictures of it and drool thinking that it would never be mine. But my Polish bestie Jennifer came through for me and found 2 so we bought it for each other :-). It is soo beautiful and applied beautifully in 2 coats!

I absolutely love this color and it will be my favorite color of all time! I think I need a back up bottle because I want to always have it on. What is your favorite polish?

Day 10 Gradient

Hello ladies today I am a little late to post my Day 10 mani because I was getting my giveaway together so I posted that first since I've been promising it for a couple weeks now. I was pretty stuck on what colors I was going to use for my gradient. Then after looking at my swatch wheels I noticed I have a lot of blue holo polish. So I tried a out a bunch of colors together in a swatch wheel and finally found 2 that looked good together but I needed a 3rd color. Then I figured id mix up a 3rd color. For this mani I used Glitter gal marine blue, China glaze DV8 and the 3rd color was a mix of DV8 and GR8 and lastly I finished it off with a coat of OPI Whats Dune?

I couldn't get good pictures of the holoness since it was night time by the time I took photos of it. I am pretty content with this one just wish I had a better 3rd color that went along with the other 2. I'm probably gonna keep this mani and add a design over it like fish scales since it reminds me of a mermaids tail. Thank for reading ladies.

Day 6 violet China Glaze LOL

Hello Ladies we are now on Day 6 Violet I had a tough time with picking a color for this one because I wasn't sure what color qualifies as Violet but I was like what the heck ill just pick any purple Ive been wanting to use. About a  month ago a went dusty hunting and found 3 brand new bottles of China Glaze LOL!!! I gave 2 away and kept one and haven't use it can you believe that!! LOL went on smooth in 2 coat with no basecoat because Ive read that its pretty hard to apply with the wrong basecoat so I just skipped it.

I love this color but then I got an idea what would a holo polish look like with a flakie on top? I had to give it a try so I went ahead and added Nfu Oh #51 and look AWESOME the pictures does not do it justice!

Hope you guys like this combination I just wish I could capture how beautiful it actually is. 

China Glaze 2nite

Today I'm going to be showing you one of my top lemmings that I finally killed. A week ago I went dusty hunting which going to salons and looking for older discontinued polishes. The China Glaze OMG's and kaleidoscopes are pretty easy to spot since they have silver caps. I spotted 2nite and asked one of the nail tech about buying it.She first looked at me like I was crazy and then tried to find me a new bottle but no luck I insisted on buying that bottle so she added some thinner to the polish and let have it for $1.50.  I left that salon skipping. I couldn't wait to wear it unfortunately there was no sun for a couple days. I didn't use a base coat and applied 2 coats of 2nite and 1 coat of China glaze FF top coat. OK on to the Holo goodness!

I'm in love with this polish! What are your favorite holos?

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

I have a new favorite polish!! Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Pacific Blue is such a unique color It looks nothing like any of my polishes. The color is  blue but it leaning toward purple too.  I got so many compliments on this polish that I even wore it all week which is very rare for me I did remix it a little with some stamping.
The polish was a little running but its very pigmented only needed one coat and was super shiny!

1 coat and top coat

Whats your favorite blue polish? My favorite color is blue so it hard for me to pick just one but this one takes the cake!

Nic Sticks Rainbows End

A couple of week ago I ran into some Nic sticks in a 5 pack for $6.99 this was the first time I had ever bought theses kind on polishes in a pen. I opened the pack and started to swatch the colors I got to Rainbows End and I thought it was just a tan polish to my surprise it was a tan holo!!! Look at this gorgeous holo!

Look at that HOLO!!!!

2 coat and top coat

I could not believe I got such a beautiful color for so cheap! I really love these polishes because I am always polishing my nails on the go and this make it sooo much easier. Do you ladies polish your nails on the go? I polish my nails everywhere train, bus, work basically where ever I can. I have gotten complaints because  some people are offended by the smell but these are perfect they don't have a harsh smell.

DV8 is FINALLY mine!!

I have finally got one of my top lemmings that Ive had my eye on forever. I finally decided to cough up the money to buy China Glaze DV8 from their OMG collection. I actually got this polish from a Blogsale I just ran into randomly which I don't even have the link to unfortunately but the blogger Carly was selling her stash to get some extra money so I contacted her and it was still available. I paid $15 for it I know that a little bit high but I rather help out a fellow blogger by taking some polishes off her hands then buy from some greedy people on ebay.

DV8 is a beautiful Teal linear holo, it was very smooth and opaque this is 2 coats and 1 coat o top coat. Now On to the pictures!

Day 3 of wearing the polish it was holding up really well!



This my new favorite holo! What are your favorite holographic polish? Do you have a number one lemming if so what is it? and how much are you willing to spend for it?

GOSH Holographic

I'm back! Sorry for the lack of post but Ive been extremely busy at work planning for our members February vacation program. During this time I still managed to haul polishes and paint my nails here and there. The most exciting polish I got and its been on my wish list for a while is GOSH Holographic. I finally just sucked it up and paid a ridiculous price for it on eBay.

GOSH holographic is kinda thick and clumpy and needs 3 coats to be completely even and opaque. I didn't mind that because the polish dries super fast and I usually do 3 coats of most holo polishes. I applied Seche Vite as my top coat which was a big mistake because it kinda ruins the holo effect and I actually ruined my pinky because I dragged the top coat to hard so I got a bald spot. On to the picture theses are all indoor there hasn't been much sun lately due to the horribly cold weather in Boston.

The bottle is kinda of small compared to China Glaze and OPI,

its about the same size as a Seche vite bottle (you can see a little bit of the bottle)

\

Looks soo much better in the sunlight the holo effect is super strong!



I think it was worth the price I paid because it is such an eye catcher and there's nothing else like this. I LOVE LOVE this polish and I wish I had a back up bottle just in case.
