Aussie Nails Monday 18/2 - Rainbow - (China Glaze DV8)

Hey guys! It's Aussie Nails Monday again!

Today is sooo hot. It's like 40 degrees (Celsius) and I don't feel like doing any nail art, so I decided to show you a swatch of a holographic polish (which gives a rainbow effect) that I had in my untrieds basket.

This is China Glaze DV8 from the HTF (hard to find), discontinued OMG collection! :) I got it almost 2 months ago and haven't tried it yet?!?! I know I'm crazy.

DV8 is a really beautiful teal holographic.

Photos show 2 coats of DV8 with no topcoat.

Topcoat dulls the holo effect in the OMG collection so I would not recommend using a top coat with them.

I love the China Glaze OMG collection! They dry so fast and the formula is fab. Unfortunately, my camera's not great at picking up the holographic quality. :(

I pretty much burnt my feet when I went outside to take these photos. :/ lol! So you better enjoy them! ;)

I also made a quick swatch video of this polish in action. :D

Hope you have a lovely week. ♥

China Glaze - 2NITE

Hellooo! Today I have something totally gorgeous and amazing to show you. :) Technically I shouldn't have this polish yet because it's a Christmas present from my boyfriend which I knew about, but the package was delivered to my house on Tuesday and I couldn't help but try one straight away LOL. Shh, don't tell. :P

This is China Glaze DV8 from the OMG Collection. It's a blue holo that looks a bit purple sometimes, I'd say it's a periwinkle. :) This shows 2 coats, with no topcoat. I'm not sure if the holos in this collection are dulled with topcoat but I didn't want to risk it haha. :P They dry fairly quickly anyway, but it feels weird not putting a topcoat on my nails lol.
I could even see this holo in low lighting! Some other holos I've tried only look holographic in the sun or very bright light.

I even filmed a video of this polish in motion in the sun! :D I hope to do more videos like this in the future, but I need a better camera first I think...

This is THE BEST holo I have tried so far!!! Soooo freakin' beautiful! I never want to take this off!

OMGHOLO! China Glaze - GR8

Ok guys. I have something totally amazing to show you today.

I went 'dusty hunting' on Sunday at a place that's only a five minute walk from my house, and they had some of the freakin' China Glaze OMG collection!!! :D How amazing is that?! I was only able to get one on this trip, which was so painful LOL. I wanted to get all of the polishes they had. 

The one I picked up was GR8, because I think this is one of the more HTF of the collection. Ones like DV8 and 2NITE are more common I believe. Don't quote me on that. ;)

And of course, as soon as I got home I put it on! :) This is 2 coats of GR8, no base or topcoat. 

I really like this, even though I'm not typically a gold fan. But a gold holo, I'm in! ;) Actually any holo, I'm in. :P

I have to tell you right now - this looked more holo in real life. My camera sucks at photographing holos. :( Please go to Scrangie's OMG Collection swatches to see a more accurate photo if you want. :) I wish I knew what kinda camera she uses. Haha!

I wore this for a couple days and on the second day I decided to add Glitter Gal - Silver which is a silver holo that can be worn alone or as a holo topcoat! :D
In the shade it gives the colour a grey look... But in the sun... AMAZINGNESS.

Hope you're having a great week!

Color Club - Fashion Addict

Hey guys!
Hope you're having a great week(end) so far! :) I hope I am! (I'm scheduling this post, hehe).

I have a polish to show you that I wore last weekend. Yeah, I'm a little behind on showing you my NOTDs!
This polish was sent to me by Jeannette from Instagram! It was on my wish list for a long time and I finally have it! :) Thanks Jeannette!

Color Club Fashion Addict is a muted light pink/purple holographic! The holo effect is subtle, at least my bottle is anyway. This polish is more holographic than my photos would capture but it's not a crazy holo like you might get with a Jade or Layla polish. It's subtle but it's there! :)

 I'm wearing two coats with base and top coat. I'm not sure how it would've looked if I hadn't used a base and top coat... But I did my mani late at night so I wanted to use a fast dry top coat. Fashion Addict was much thicker than I'd expected it to be! Every other holographic polish I've used is quite thin in formula and sheer but this only required 2 coats to be opaque!

A blurry shot to show the holo a bit better

I have a couple other holographics by Color Club that I can't wait to try!

Have a great day!

NOTD: Sally Hansen Nail Prism - Pink Rose Diamond!

Hey girls! I'd like to start off by saying I am so sorry for being MIA again for the past week or so. :( All my manis lately have sucked and I've only been wearing them for like, 12 hours or less before I remove it, or I've just been wearing no polish so I haven't had any NOTDs to post! :( I feel terrible especially since I've seemed to gain a lot of followers and readers in the past week so helloooo to all of you lovely ladies. :)

Today I received a package in the mail that I was SUUUUPER excited for! :D Of course it was a polish and of course I had to put it on right away. ;) It was a Sally Hansen Nail Prism polish!! The Nail Prisms are all holographic or duochrome polishes, you can see more of them here on NailXchange's blog. :)

I bought mine on eBay at a great price so if you want one, definitely head over there because some of them are pretty reasonably priced! Some of the more rare ones obviously cost more (some of them a LOT) however. I think this is one of the most common Nail Prisms and the easiest to get your hands on, but I don't care because it is BEAUTIFUL, and my first proper linear holographic polish! And it did not disappoint. :) I was so happy that the sun was out for most of the day because I think we have rain for the rest of the week! :(
