Bet You'll Never Guess What I Found...

 So, the beauty supply I have been going to since getting my license had a few very nice finds. The supply is kind of a hole in the wall shop that's not well know unless you are a licensed nail tech. Since you need a license to shop there and they are a pretty old place, and it's a huge place, I'm talking a warehouse for just nail products, they had some old OPI's still in stock.
 Today I have OPI DS Original, a light lavender holographic shade. It's discontinued and pretty hard to find. I have been searching for it everywhere for a few years and glad I finally found it. Picture is two coats, the formula is a bit thin and could use another coat but it is beautiful anyways.

Color Club Over The Moon with Leopard

 Hey guys! Today I have Color Club Over The Moon, a beautiful blue strong holographic polish from the Halo Hues 2013 collection. Not much else to say about this one other than it is much better in person, but I couldn't resist adding a bit of leopard on my thumb and ring fingers. The picture below is with top coat.

OPI Pink Yet Lavender

 Hey guys! Today I have another polish from the Mariah Carey collection. It isn't a liquid sand, just a regular glitter polish.
 Pink Yet Lavender is a clear base with medium light pink hex glitter and small holographic glitter. The glitter is much more dense then I first thought, it's nice. Picture is one coat of Pink Yet Lavender over black with top coat.

Rainbow Honey The Yokai Collection

 Hey guys! Today I have a new collection from Rainbow Honey called The Yokai collection. If you haven't heard of Rainbow Honey before, they make some amazing polishes and I am blow away by their packaging as well, you can check them out at RainbowHoney.com or on Facebook.
 The Yokia is a limited edition collection that is set to release on October 13th. It includes Kitsune, Oni and Kawako. First up is bottle shots and the packaging.





 Now for the polishes in the Yokai collection.
 Kawako, the mischievous river child, a deep blue base with small silver and blue flakes and what seems like iridescent larger flakes, you might be able to spot one on my ring finger. It does make application of this polish a little more difficult because some of the larger flakes tend to hang over the edge of the nail but it is manageable. Picture is two coats with top coat.


 Kitsune, the magical white fox, is a light nude base packed with brown glitter, orange and gold holographic glitter along with a fine gold shimmer. Picture is two coats with top coat. This one was a bit thick but nothing a few drops of thinner shouldn't be able to take care of.


 I saved my surprise favorite for last, Oni, the malevolent wild demon, a dark brown base with gold and purple flakes. I think it is absolutely stunning! Picture is two coats with top coat.


 Do you have a favorite from this collection, will you be picking any up?

China Glaze Glitter Goblin

 Hey guys! I had meant to post this yesterday along with Immortal since I layered it over that but I didn't get the chance to edit through all the photos and I couldn't wait to post Immortal so it had to wait until today.
 Glitter Goblin, a clear base with orange, silver and holographic glitter, was the only polish I had planned on getting from the Wicked collection. Even though Immortal was a surprise favorite of mine, Glitter Goblin is a close second! Picture is one coat of Glitter Goblin over Immortal with top coat.

Wet N Wild Don't Break The Circuit

 Hey guys! I was meaning to show another OPI Germany polish today but I had to share an amazing new magnetic I found. 
 Wet N Wild Don't Break The Circuit is a rich blue magnetic polish with holographic glitter! It is so pigmented that it could be a one coater but I did two since I wanted to try and get a nice design. There is a catch to this polish though, the magnet that this comes with is very weak. In order to get a strong design and get the holo to come out you need a strong magnet. I used the Wet N Wild magnet on my ring and pinky finger but the design barely showed and you are left disappointed with no holo but, if you have a stronger magnet, I used one from my fridge, you can get the holo to come out like you see on the middle and index finger. Picture is two coats with topcoat. I should have let it dry longer before adding top coat because it dulled the design and holo a bit. The only problem with this one is it will stain your nails!


 Keep reading for more pictures.

Essence Mellow Yellow Topped With Holo Bar Glitter

 Today I have Essence Mellow Yellow, from Marketta, and a Japanese brand called Pa number A37. 
 Mellow Yellow is a beautiful buttery yellow but it did need three coats to even out. The Pa A37 is a holo bar glitter in a clear base, it's different than the usual holo glitter and I really liked this combo. I'm not too big into the "hairy polishes" but a few of them look pretty interesting.
  

 Do you like the bar glitters?

Glitter Gal Lizard Belly (Picture Heavy)

 Lizard Belly is a polish from a swap I did recently with Marketta. She really spoiled me and I had a hard time deciding what to wear first but my love for green and holo won. 
 Lizard Belly is a stunning dark green, almost black but not, packed with holographic shimmer. The formula on this one was amazing as well. I used two coats for my pictures but if you are careful you could easily get away with one. It dried quickly for a dark polish as well. There really isn't much else to say except that it is beautiful on the nail and in the bottle. 







 Thanks for picking this up for me, Marketta! I love it!

BYS Down The Rabbit Hole

 This is a polish I have wanted since I saw it last year but had pretty much given up on finding. Lucky me though, it was hiding at a little shop in a mall in Tokyo just waiting for me. The other two polishes from this collection were no where to be see so I don't know how long it had been there waiting for me. 
 Down The Rabbit Hole is a black jelly packed full of holographic glitter. No matter what I did I could not get a decent picture of it. It is a hundred time more stunning in real life than in the pictures. See all those tiny silver glitter pieces, yeah, that is all holo glitter. It is amazing in the bottle and on the nail. 
 Like with the other BYS polish it does smell but not enough for me not to love it. I did four coats for pictures but you could get away with three. The first coat was very sheer, other than that I truly love this one, so glad I stumbled upon it. 


 Here it is out of the light box so you can see a bit more of the glitter.


 Now I just need Adventures of Alice. You can get BYS polish from Fashion Addict, as far as I know this collection is still in stock on their website, but if you aren't in Australia the shipping can be costly. That's why I never got them.

BYS Lulu Blue

 One of my first BYS polishes! I picked up Lulu Blue while we were in Tokyo along with Down The Rabbit Hole, which I will be wearing soon. 
 Lulu Blue is a clear base with blue and holo glitter. In the store I thought it was just blue and silver but once I saw it in sunlight I was happy to see it wasn't. 
 I used four coats and it isn't opaque so this would definitely be a layering polish but it's still gorgeous. The only downside on this one is the smell and drying time, it didn't seem to dry as quick as some glitters but it did have a high gloss, give and take I guess? Overall, I love it. 


 Have you tried any BYS polishes? Did they smell strong to you?

Good Gosh!

 Thanks to Swaffie I finally got a hold of Gosh Holographic. I am so happy she sent it to me because it is stunning! Pictures do this polish absolutely no justice.
 Application is a bit of a pain. It dries fast, you cannot go over the polish until it is bone dry or it will drag and create bald spots and top coat will seriously dull the holo. If you have a bit of patience it isn't bad though. I used two coats of base coat, one coat of Gosh, followed by a coat of base coat and one final coat of Gosh and it was perfect. I can't stop looking at my nails! Even indoors under artificial light it is gorgeous!
 The first picture is indoors under artificial light with one coat. You can see a few bald spots.


 Now, two coats of color in full sunlight. These pictures make it seem tame. Gosh Holographic is so much better in person.


 Do you have any holographic polishes? What is your favorite way to apply them, with base coat, without? What about top coat, do you think it takes away the holographic effect?

Franken

 My very first franken and it turned out great! I didn't think the polish that I used would work with the black but it did. I saw something like this on The PolishAholic, you can check out her post here.
  I picked up a cheap bottle of Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Cream, dumped about half out and used the pink holo polish I found here in Japan, then used thinning drops to smooth it out.
 In the shade you can see it doesn't look like much.


 Once it get in the sun it sparkles like mad. These pictures truly do not do this polish justice, it is ten times better than the pictures.  


 It shows more in this picture but it is a bit blurry and washed out.



 I don't own the original My Private Jet and I can't bring myself to pay for it on Ebay and risk getting a fake so this will be my substitute for it. This isn't a linear holo but I still love it.

Holo Goodness

 I have another holographic polish today. I am not sure if these are sold anywhere else but the bottle says A-Rainbow Winmax New York. If anyone has seen these elsewhere please let me know, I am curious. 
 There are no names on the bottles, just a number. This one is a baby blue color, so pretty, this is my favorite. I picked up four of these so I have two more to show you soon but I have to say this one looks to have the strongest holo. The blue was a bit thinner and the picture is of three thin coats but so worth it.

I Have No Words...

 Only Pictures.




 This is one coat! The brush on these are fantastic, like the OPI wide brush but a bit smaller and shorter, seems much easier to control. I picked up a few other colors of this as well so those will be posted soon. For now I am going to bask in the awesome that this is.
