Holographic goodness with Teeez! Cool

So today, finally, the weather is getting a lot better, with a lot of sunshine. And you all know what sunshine means right? Yep, Holo's!
This polish is from Teeez! and this is number 02, Cool, it's a light babyblue colour. I used the Gosh Fix base coat which is especially made for holographic polishes.  I've never used this polish without the fix base coat, so I don't really know how application is without. The base coat made application flawless. I used 3 effortless coats of holographic goodness. After that I topped it off with INM out the door topcoat. The topcoat didn't dull the holo-effect in my opinion.
My camera even freaked out with the pictures in direct sunlight, so it couldn't quite capture the full holographic effect. So without further a do, here are the pictures:

China Glaze Tronica - Virtual Violet

Today I have for you guys a polish from the China Glaze Tronica collection. If you didn't get your hands on the OMG or Kaleidoscope collections this one will also do.
This baby is called Virtual Violet and it's a pretty one! It's a vibrant purple with lots of scattered holo going on!




Close up!
Application is perfect, almost a one-coater, this is two coats though. I would advice to use a basecoat which is for holographic polishes. I used the Gosh Fix basecoat, because of this basecoat the polish dried a little rubbery. I used Seche Vite as a topcoat.

Essence Hello Holo Topcoat

Hi everyone,

The weather here is awful right now. It's really hot and humid, hopefully the rain they forcasted will come soon, cause I'm sick of it.
Today I have for you one of the special effect toppers from Essence, which they released a couple of weeks ago. I got myself Mystic Mermaid and Hello Holo. I still want to own Circus Confetti, I love all the different colours of glitter. But for now I have Hello Holo. I finally got it last weekend, it's been sold out since it came out.
You can buy Essence in drugstores (here in the Netherlands at the Kruidvat stores), and these toppers are only 1,80 euros.

So, onto the pictures. Here I have Hello Holo topped over China Glaze Papaya Punch.






I really, really like it. I didn't have any sun out so couldn't capture even half of the holo effect. Application is good, but the glitters aren't really dense on the brush. I have 2 coats on and I still think it's not enough (but maybe that's just because it's so gorgeous.) I did have some tipwear because I was wearing Papaya Punch for a day before applying Hello Holo.

Meanwhile I'm waiting for stores in the Netherlands to release the new fall 2011 Chanel collection. From the swatches I've seen of it already I really want to have a closer look at Peridot and Graphite. They look awesome! Why is it that fall collections always make me want to buy them all! I tend to love fall collections a lot.

OPI - DS Coronation

Hi everyone!
Today I want to show you my favourite polish (that I own XD). It's OPI DS Coronation. I absolutely love this colour. It's a scattered holographic silver. Application was, as always with OPI, superb. I really want to try layering this one. I think it'll look fantastic upon a black polish. Excuse the index finger, my nail broke off today :(, so I have a little nubbin...



 


My next post will feature OPI Silver Shatter. I found the Silver Shatter at a wellnesscenter last weekend. I was sooo happy with it. I've been lemming it ever since I heard they were going to release it.

Catrice - Dirty Berry

Hey guys,

As a first post on this blog I'd like to feature Dirty Berry from the new Catrice collection. I had a pretty hard time finding this polish, but last week I finally got my hands on it.
At first glance it may look like an ordinary violet/purple polish, but when in the sun it reveals it's holo-gorgeousness!



It's a bit blurry, but you can see the holo sparkles ^^.



That's it for my first post. My apologies for the sloppy clean-up.
