Holographic polishes are, probably, the most sought after in the nail polish community. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know why. These polishes are so beautiful with their rainbows of colors that reflect from the holographic particles. Most of them, however, do not reveal their beauty until they are placed under flash lighting or sunny conditions. Which is why they're the ideal polish to wear in the summer. During the summer, you spend more time outdoors and under the sun, so you are better able to appreciate the holographic uniqueness. However, I'm one those indoor type people that detest the heat! I know I look crazy half the time, but in order to appreciate the holographicness, I use my camera's flashlight. O_o I don't want to bore you anymore today with my chitter chatter of how awesome holographics are, I'll just show you. ^_^
Let's start off with the boring pictures.... I did use four coats, but this formula was so thin that it was really only 2 thick coats. This also has one coat of Seche Vite, and it was taken in the shade. Blah.
Another shade picture, but no topcoat. Eh...
In the sun with topcoat... ooh!
Far away picture in the sun with no topcoat. NICE!!
Closeup with no topcoat....OMFG!!! O_O !!!
If you don't have a holographic polish, yet, run don't walk to your computer and place an order! You will not regret it! It's almost as if wearing the holographic backing of one of those stickers that you get for .50 at the entrance of your local grocery store. Who wouldn't to sport that on their nails? Yes, I know they are HTF, but there are many other ways that you can get these without paying an enormous price on eBay. You just have to do some research and some stalking.
On a side note, I found out where to get some of those Santee polishes!! I'm so excited, they're literally only two minutes away from my house. My brother actually bought me three today! How nice is he?? I want to go back and get some cremes to try out the formula, since the three I have now are all glitters. I think I shall go tomorrow...
Oooooh I really like this one! How many holographic polishes do you have? I have one of the OPI designer series ones that I got on sale, but I'm not really lovin the shade :( The holographicness is pure awesome though!
