I don't think Maybelline knows what "Holographic" means.

 My love of all things holographic got me all excited when I saw Maybelline's "Holographic" display. I was suspicious, because none of the polishes had a hint of holo to them in the store. A bit duochrome, but no holo. But, blue blaze interested me and I had a coupon, so I thought, eh, maybe in sunlight it will surprise me.
 Unfortunately my first instinct was correct. I've seen better holo stuff in Wet -n- Wild polishes. I'm not really sure what Maybelline was thinking.
 That aside, Blue Blaze is an interesting color. It's an icy-silvery-lavender blue. I don't think I have anything quite like it in my stash.

Nubar - Reclaim

 I can't remember if I ever posted this. I may have only worn it once before. But, as I rifled through my helmer it called to me. Darn, but this is prettier than I remembered!
 Pug approved too!

Oldie and goodie - China Glaze BFF

I can't remember if I have ever worn this before.

 But, I was in the mood for something pink and holo.
 You can't really tell in these pictures, but I had a terrible time applying this. It was a little chunky and streaky.
But, it positively glows and looks amazing in the sunshine, so it's a win!

More Glitter Gal!!!

Light as a Feather.
It's not white, or really grey, but somewhere in between. It's been really overcast, so I couldn't capture the holo very well in this one.



Then over the weekend I tried this out...more on this later!






"Suede"







I love these neutral taupey colors. This was the perfect blend between fun and work appropriate. It's got holo sparkle, but not too much.

Things I Love

I've decided I have so many polishes now, that I am going to (try) to only get unique polishes in colors/finishes I really love and don't already have. Holo polishes were on that list. Every time I wear them, they make me so happy, I must have more! Glitter Gal, really interested me, so I finally ordered some. This is Black 3D Holo. Isn't it pretty? That's my hand on my dog's back if you were wondering...





Look how pretty and sparkly!






My only complaint would be how tiny the bottles are! Otherwise, these are perfect. The formula is so smooth and applies really well. The price is steep, but worth it if you really love holos in unique shades. I ordered mine from here and the service was fantastic! I ordered them on a Tuesday and had them in my hot little hands on Friday! Customer service is also very quick to respond. I ordered two other ones that I'll have to post soon, I'm just loving this one too much to take it off right now!

Sally Hansen Ice Queen

This is Ice Queen over China Glaze LOL. It's pretty silver sparkles with blue and purple hex glitter in a clear base. Wore well, so well I couldn't get some of the glitter off!

Wet n Wild Glitter

I went a little nutty tracking down these Wet n Wild polishes, just cause they were new and shiny I guess. I wanted to love this, but as you can see, it's really sheer, This is like 4 coats!


I'll probably try it over another color and see how that works.

Perfect for work days!

Happy St. Patty's!

I found this on clearance at Ocean State Job Lot. I think it was from the Spring Gelatto collection, or something like that. It's a really vibrant emerald green with a little shimmer. It looks so happy in the bottle.
Unfortunately, it was sheer as all get out! This is like 4 coats and you can still see through it. This is day 3 so there is also some tip wear. I really wanted to like this, but I didn't care for it on my nails. Nor did I enjoy how sheer it was.

Now, THIS on the other hand is how green is done. China Glaze's Laser Lime from their new
Tronica Line. I found a full display at Sally's a couple weeks ago. I really want to go back and get a few more because these are great! I got this and Cyberspace.

Sally Hansen - Purple Diamond - Nail Prism

Found it at Dollar Tree in a 2-pack with
a plain color Look at the holo-prettiness!

It's called Purple Diamond, but to my eye, it really is more pink than purple.
Whatever it is, it's gorgeous!

I almost think I like this more than China Glaze's LOL and BFF! Almost.

Icing - Blackout

I'm not a 12 year old girl and I don't have any kids, so I don't make it into the Icing very often.
But, while walking by, I spotted nail polish, and I found Blackout. I realize I may be late to this party, but WOW! this color is awesome!

I wore it for about a week, and then added some Disco Dazzle to jazz it up!

Holo Goodness!




Milani's 3D Holographic in Cyberspace, is a really pretty silvery blue scattered holo. It's kind of flat in low light, like most holos, but pretty in the sunlight.


Of course, nothing compares to China Glaze holos!
