Justification... Purple holo's

Hi there,


Today I'm bringing you a few polishes. I wanted to justify my stash of purple holo's. Justisfy to myself, that is. LOL. I noticed when I was doing my my holographic collection that I had a load of purples. 




Index: Color Club: Wild at Heart: 1 coat
Middle: NuBar: Treasure: 3 coats
Ring: Milani:Hi Res: 2 coats
Pinkie: OPI: DS Original: 3 coats
All were without top coat.


I think they're all very different. But I've got to admit, I could do with Nubar Treasure, as it not as holo as the rest, and it's quite similar in shade-but not as holo as DS Original. My favourite has to be Color Club's- Wild at Heart, then Milani's Hi Res, the OPI's  DS Original. The only reason DS Original was my least favourite is because it took 3 coats to look half decent! Maybe I'll try next time, I'll layer it with a purple base color, as this polish has an AMAZING holo! This was THE polish to get me into holo's in the first place, now I'm addicted! Reading my past posts, you'll think I had a vendetta with OPI, but I don't, honest. I have a few OPI's in my collection, and love each for it's amazing colours, but the wear of the polish can be a bit of a bum sometimes- unless I'm doing something wrong? 


I did not include Catherine Arley 673 and China Glaze's LOL, as they're quite dark, so may do a post comparing it to Wild at Heart soon. 


I hope you guys enjoy and see you again soon.

Nubar Brilliant

Hi there, 

This is Nubar's Brilliant. This applied super sheer, but I did not mind, as I had to remove this the next day anyways. Its a pink scattered holo. To my surprise, (as I love pink polishes) out of all the holo polishes I have tried in my stash so far, it's my least favourite. I don't know why, but this just doesn't shout out to me. Maybe it's just not as holo as I wanted it to be. Brilliant has a WEAK scattered effect. I just got a flash here and there, under artificial lighting. Saying that, adding a top coat may have contributed to dulling out the holo effect.

Nubar Brilliant: 3 coats
