Holographic #12 Swatch

Here is the last of my holographic polishes from the Born Pretty Store.

#12:

With Flash.

 When I looked at the photo on the website this looked black to me, but it's actually a dark, deep teal shade. Which is awesome, I like this one quite a lot, I currently have it on my toes, and probably will for the next 2-3 weeks depending on its wear.

In direct sunlight.

This is 2 thick coats, it didn't streak at all, and is very opaque. Overall, I think these holographic polishes are really nice, although I'm at a loss with what I can do with them nail art wise.

I now just need to find a good gold holographic and black holographic polish.

Holographic #11 Swatch

Here's another of Born Pretty Store's Holographics.

Here's #11:

With Flash.

 #11 is a dark purple, it looks more blue in this photo for some reason. It's like the colour of grapes.

In direct sunlight.

This had the best coverage so far, I think the deeper/darker shades are the most opaque. It also dried to a really nice gloss finish. This is with 2 coats. #11 went on nicely, it's a great shade of purple, but I don't think it looks so great on my nails.

Holographic #8 Swatch

Here's Born Pretty Store's Holographic nail polish in #8:

With Flash.

 This is a really pretty shade of sky blue holographic.

In direct sunlight.

This shade applied well, with no streaking. This is 2 coats, it could use a third since its a bit sheer on some nails, but I'm sure 2 thick coats would sort that out too.

#4 Holographic; Swatch

Colour #4 of Born Pretty Store's Holographic nail polishes:

With Flash.

 I really like this shade, its a rich reddish pink holographic, almost like the colour of salmon only darker.

In direct sunlight.

This is with 2 coats, it's really nice and opaque, it went on nicely like the others did, no streaking what so ever. As you can see this one was very glossy once dried, which is nice if you don't have time to apply topcoat.

Holographic #3; Swatch

Another holographic swatch for you, here's Born Pretty Store's Holographic nail polish in #3:

With Flash.

 #3 is a sort of dusty rose shade. My mom has a colour near identical to this one by Sally Hansen's nail prisms.

In direct sunlight.

I only used 2 coats for this one, although on some nails you can still see my tips, but I'm certain a 3rd coat if you're patient enough for that would cover it all.

I personally don't think this shade looks to good against my skin. So I may not wear it out too often.

Holographic #7 Swatch

This swatch is of Born Pretty Store's Holographic nail polish collection.

Here's "#7"

With Flash.

#7 is a kind of silver, with a pale green hue to it. It's nice but also quite sheer, you can still see my nail tips on a few fingers.

In direct Sunlight.

 I used 3 coats for this polish, but it may work better with a similar colour underneath it if you don't like sheer shades.

Bridal Nails (Warning Feet Photos)

I was recently commissioned to do a mani/pedi for a Desi bride. Here are her nails.

Pedicure

 The lengha she was wearing was a beautiful ivory with gold, and maroon gems/embroidery, so we matched the colours in her nails to it. On the toes you see "Smolder" by Orly and a holographic loose gold glitter on top.

Sation Glints & Glam: Swatch

Another swatch for you all on this lovely, albeit freezing Friday.

Today's is "Glints & Glam" by Miss ProNail's Sation:

January/17/2013

This shade features holographic silver glitter in a large hexagon shape and micro glitter suspended in a blush pink jelly base. This was done with 3 coats, I found that to get good even glitter coverage you had to shake the bottle quite a bit. Other than that, this colour is beautiful if you want some subtle glam to your nails for daily wear. It held up pretty well to my work shift this morning, zero wear against the tips. The formula for this one is nice, goes on smooth and dries pretty quickly, even though I did use a few thickish coats.

Have a Happy Friday!
