HOLOGRAPHIC PEACE MERMAID NAILS

Hi everyone, remember these nails which I showed you the other day? 

Well I decided to go one step further and add a holo topcoat with the fish scale nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells.

MISTY BLUSH WITH MORE ONE STROKE NAIL ART

Hi guys, I'm really cold and I have a lot of work to do so you'll probably see about 5 more posts from me, mainly because it takes too long to edit the photos! Anywho onto today's nails...

I already had Layla Misty Blush on and it's such a gorgeous colour and holo, the holo effect is really strong but it doesn't totally mask the unique base colour ! 

So after a full day of wearing this I decided to add some nail art, I wanted to try out some more one stroke flowers. This time I decided to do them in black and white because Misty Blush flashes every colour of the rainbow and I thought it would be a nice contrast!

I did like a double petal flower thing on my pinky and pointy finger but it's not very noticeable. I didn't topcoat this design as I didn't want to dull the holo underneath!

Unfortunately I  didn't have the sun available to take some shots in direct sunlight to show off the full potential of the holo so all the shots below are with a daylight bulb but just imagine the holo rainbow to be 10x as strong ;) 

The thing I most loved about this mani was the contrast between the intense holo and the black and white art! What do you guys think? Is this something you would wear?

HALF MOONS WITH HOLO & GLEQUINS

I am super tired right now but I'm excited to show you this mani ! 

For this I started off with 2 coats of Kiko 339, which is a gorgeous nude holo polish , then I applied the blue glequins in a half moon shape on all the nails except the accent nail where I reversed it and topped it all of with topcoat (which didn't dull the holo :) ! As you can imagine it was supper blingy and shiny ! 

Oh and I managed to drop the whole pot onto the floor ! I did save about a third of the pot but cleaning them up was a pain!

When I took this off I was super annoyed, why? Because the blue glequins had stained my nails really badly, I had basecoat on too which is why I was annoyed and confused, so I've not used them again

ZOYA VERUSCHKA HOLO

Wow, I am on a roll, I've posted every single day this week : o  

So when the holiday season comes around there is one polish that screams my name, can you guess what it is ? Yep, It's Veruschka by Zoya, seriously guys if you ever buy only 1 Zoya polish make sure it's this one, the colour and the shimmer is to die for ! Anyway so I cracked this out and applied 1 thin (slightly uneven) coat of Sally hansen prism om Diamond, a strong linear sheer silver holo perfect for layering ! 

I couldn't capture the holo very well and the sun was starting to go down too but trust me when i saw this combo is gorgeous !

GOSH HOLOGRAPHIC (OLD) VS GOSH HOLOGRAPHIC HERO (NEW) - COMPARISON

So this comparison was requested by the lovely Kvacka, I wasn't going to do it because I'd seen a few similar posts on other blogs

Anyway, first up bottle shots, in the bottle the new Holographic looks promising and there are few difference but that all changes on the nail, so the middle and pinky finger is the original holographic and you can see from the pictures it is way more holo, it was even more evident irl !

  

So, I'm sorry if anyone is disappointed by this comparison; I was : (

but none the less holographic hero is an amazing holo on it's own, especially for a uk polish ; )

Application wise the new one has a slightly better formula, it doesn't drag as much but it's still a pain to apply !

So have any of you guys picked up the new Gosh holographic?

JESSICA HOLOGRAM CHIC & HITS APOLO

I've decided to take advantage of the sunny weather were getting here, it probably won't last so we have to make the most of it !

So for this mani I did one coat of no7 Poolside Blue and the pinky, ring and thumb and then I layered 2 coats of Hits Apolo over the top, then on the other fingers I used 2 coats of Jesicca Disco Diva, I decided to test out the Retro Revival base coat and used it for the middle finger and I can say it definitely improves application and you can already start to see some tipwear on the pointy finger !

Finally I used poolside blue to stamp on a bow and then I stamped over it with Hits Apolo, it was meant to look like a shadow to get a 3d effect, but you can see it just looks like dodgy stamping loll ! 

I also used Gosh Holographic to stamp the dotty bow on the thumb but it wasn't very good ! 

I loved this mani soo much I loved the colours, Disco Diva is absolutely gorgeous I was blown away by how holo it was, seriously this definitely rivals Gosh Holographic, I haven't done a comparison yet but I will do for you !

I had tried the blue layering to get a ds glamour (huge lemming) dupe but it didn't work, if anybody knows a good layering combo for a ds dupe please let me know !

OPI - DS SAPPHIRE

Hi Guys, I'm really sorry I haven't had a post for you in a while, but seriously I do not get a chance to edit photos and write a post, there just aren't enough hours in the day (or the night either!) I've been sleeping at 2am every day and getting up at 8, there's just sooo much going on atm. 
But once all my exams are finished that's it I have some really exciting plans which I'll be sharing with you and I will be posting a lot more regularly, so please bear with me for now, I have still been doing my nails so pictures are building up and up loll. 




Anyway on to today's nails I have ds sapphire, I actually had this on about a week ago that's why there's some sun, the weather has been complete pants recently and today it just rained continuously : ( 

I had 2 coats on all fingers, but did a 3rd on the ring finger that's why the colour is more intense and holo, and this is 2nd day of wear 

Ok ladies, take care, talk to you soon : )
