Sally Hansen Nail Polish

I did my nails using Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in 09 Wave Break and Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Lava 006.

I think they came out pretty good, don't you?

I was kinda disappointed that the blue crackle polish didn't show the pretty purple sheen you see in the bottle but the Lustre showed all the colors you saw in the bottle.

I made an interesting technique..

I really like the effect but it would be hard to master. I just painted four layers on my nails (two coats per color) and then carefully removed some parts of the layers using nail polish remover. I like it, kinda tye-dye. 

Did I inspire you? Will you try it? Have you ever made up a new technique?

Born Pretty Holo Polish

     So.. I got sent a sample of this to blog about (Yay!) ..

As you can see in the photo one coat of polish gives you a sparkly sheer wash. You'll need two to three coats to get an opaque look, like I have on the second nail. I think as a holographic polish this fails, there are rainbow sparkles in it but if you look at polishes like Color Club's Halo Hues, you can get a helluva more holo effect. It does have a nice shine though, but also the brush (maybe cause it was a mini?) was too 'fluffy' for me, it made the application extra hard.

Zoya Pixie Dust in Solange

     This is from the Summer Edition and I love it! GOLD! GOLD!! GOLD!!! It's so beautiful to look at. It dries pretty fast and it has a sandy, rough texture that I love to rub my figures against. One coat will give you a sheer coverage which you could use as a top coat to give another color some bling. I used three coats for the full coverage effect in the picture below.

I need more!!! :)

Color Club Halo Hues 2013, 998 Miss Bliss Review

I got mine on Amazon for around $8.00. I love this polish because you only need one coat of it. It's thick enough that it doesn't need two coats but not so thick that it's that gummy type of polish. The color is vibrant and the halo effect actually looks like a halo effect. 

I'm definitely going to stock up on more colors.
