Green Holographic Ombre

The last holographic ombre I did was using the not so holographic China Glaze holos released last year. I got some green holos in the mail recently and decided to do a green one. One of these isn't as holo as the others which kind of sucks. Another reason to put all my holos in one drawer because I totally have other greens of the shade that isn't as intense, that ARE intense like the others shown here:



Either way it still looks awesome!

Can we just take a second and die over that Jennifer Green Enchanted holo on my ring finger! Not only is it my first Enchanted that I finally managed to snag, BUT it is the most amazing Jennifer Green ever, probably my new favorite!!!

The colors from my index-pinky:

Colors by Llaroew- Gizzards & Lizards an amazing deep forest green
Nubar- Reclaim This is the not so holo one I was talking about. It is definitely holo, it just looks wimpy compared to the others!
Enchanted Polish- March 2014 AMAZING!!!
Color Club- Kismet 

All were two easy coats. Gizzards & Lizards, and Reclaim are nearly one coaters though.

Lastly, the color used for the french tips is Color Club- Beyond

More Holographic Fishtail French Tips

You are probably getting tired of seeing these, just as much as my half moons. But when you find something you like, you can't stop. It hasn't been raining here in the Bay Area anymore, so I took advantage of that and wore some holos I recently hauled!



THAT GREEN! Probably my new favorite green holographic polish.

I believe I used two coats of the base color, which is Ooh La Lacquer- Complimint 2.0. I am not too sure what Complimint 1.0 looked like but I am happy with 2.0! The periwinkle shade on my tips is Ooh La Lacquer- Twinkle Twinkle Periwinkle. I got a bunch more holos from this brand recently that you will hopefully see soon. You can get both of these plus some other amazing holos on Oh La Lacquer's Etsy

Lastly, the darker green/teal color on my tips is Different Dimension- Mistle-Toad (Happy Holly Days Collection 2013). The way I used it doesn't show it's really beauty. It has a really strong purple shimmer/duochrome running through it that has to be seen on the entire nail!

French Tips Using Zoya

I am going to keep this short and sweet. Zoya has some of the coolest holographic polishes. They aren't the awesome linear type, but you don't really see any polishes in this type of finish!



Yum!

The blue is Zoya- Dream (Zenith Collection Winter 2013). This is the only polish I got from their holiday collection this year. I have two coats shown here.

The purple is Zoya- Aurora (Ornate Collection Winter 2012), two coats shown here.

Lastly, the black used for the french tips is Zoya- Storm (Ornate Collection Winter 2012), one thick coat.

I am in love with these polishes! I really hope they keep making these polishes every winter, if not, every other collection they have!

OPI San Francisco Collection Nail Art

The weather has been extra nice here lately, so I decided to have a date day in SF with my boyfriend. I knew once I got this color, I could only wear it if I was going to make a trip to the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures to compare. Here it is:



If you couldn't guess by the intro, this color is OPI- First Date At The Golden Gate (OPI SF Collection Fall 2013). It was two easy coats. OPI always has the best cremes. I do wish it was the actual color of the Golden Gate though. That is the main reason I wanted to get some pictures of the two colors next to each other, so I could see how different they really are!

Then I added french tips using OPI- In The Cable Car-Pool Lane (OPI SF Collection Fall 2013). A very nice berry shade that is unique to my collection. I should have put Haven't The Foggiest on my tips because that is exactly how the weather was when we were there:




As you can see, the bridge is really orange, "International Orange" to be exact. The polish is more of a ketchup shade. Oh well, either way it is a nice polish!

Magnetic French Tips

Man it has been almost a week since the last time I posted something! The really sad part is these photos have been waiting to be edited and posted since like Thursday...




 
You can really see the holographic microshimmers in this blurry shot!

The magnetic polish I used is OPI- Is That Silva?. I believe there were three magnetics that were part of the James Bond collection, but I could never find them. I got lucky and found it on sale for really cheap at a Pure Beauty that was going out of business! I used two coats. The holographic glitters in it is what makes it really special! I still don't understand why the Magnetic trend wasn't as big as a hit as crackles, and now, textures.

The color I used on the tips is A England- Tristam (The Mythicals Collection). Another polish I have sadly not used until now. I chose this for the tips because I think the scattered holo compliments the holo glitters in the base color. Plus these A England polishes are the best one coater polishes!

I will for sure have another AWESOME post tomorrow since I am so behind...
