Holo Summer Week: Visit me in Prism

Today I'm presenting you the last color I own from China Glazes Kaleidoscope collection. As you've noticed I only got 4 from this collection as I was able to get my hands on 9 of the OMG collection and I felt like most colors were very similar. I'm very happy to own some polishes from the Kaleidoscope collection even though they require more coats than the OMG ones. 

So without further a due....Visit me in Prism

















Visit me in prism is a really light silvery lilac as you can tell in the bottle, although it mostly looks like a soft silver on the nails. This really required 3 coats as the color is very sheer but can be build up to full opacity. I haven't used any base/topcoat, since you don't really need it. Visit me in Prism is also fast drying but a bit slower than the OMG ones.

I'm very happy that I was able to get my hands on this as the true silvers from the Kaleidoscope and the OMG collection were sold at ridiculous prices and I also wasn't sure if a true silver would even suit my skin color. In the end I'm really happy with my decision and haven't had any regrets.


Do you like to wear silver nail polish? What do you think of this one?

Holo Summer Week: Let's do it in 3-D

Over half of the Holo Summer Week you guys, time really flies. Today I have my third nail polish from China Glazes Kaleidoscope collection for you, Let's do it in 3-D. 

Picture time!













Let's do it in 3-D is a grey holo polish with a scattered finish as with all of the Kaleidoscope polishes. I've used three coats with this one without any base or topcoat.

As you guys have probably noticed I really love the holographic effect as sunlight hits it as it looks so sparkly. However I don't really like this color with indoor lighting as it becomes this weird grayish color which is really not that flattering to me.


Do you like this effect on grey polishes?

Holo Summer Week: Going in circles

Today I want to present you another beautiful polish from the unfortunately discontinued China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection. Going in Circles is a beautiful light sea foam green color with yet again a scattered holographic finish.  





















I’ve used two coats of Going in Circles, enough for full opacity but you’ll probably need to use three coats if your nails are slightly discolored. Please excuse the kinda blurry picture of the bottle.


I only own four polishes of this collection and they all have scattered (or spread) holographic particles which is why the world seems to adore them. Nearly all other brands managed to produce holos with a linear effect such as in the ones from the OMG collection. 



Do you love this color and holo effect?

Holo Summer Week: China Glaze It's my Turn

I’m so happy you guys as summer has finally really started in Holland. We’re getting 25-34 degrees weather with hours of sunlight and people really love spending their days at the beach and I would too. Luckily I’m going on vacation this week although I still don’t know where to (LOL…will be a last second instead of minute booking)


So all of this sunshine reminded me that I have these beautiful nail polishes that mesmerize you when sunlight hits them. Therefore I present you a series of holographic nail polishes in my Holo Summer Week.


The first one I wanted to show you guys is from the brand China Glaze and it’s called It’s my Turn from there Kaleidoscope collection released in 2008. This collection consisted of 12 beautiful holos at an affordable price compared to for example the OPI Designer Series.
  













It’s my Turn is a beautiful gold holo nail polish. The holographic particles are really scattered instead of a linear holo as seen in the China Glaze OMG collection (these are included in Holo Summer Week). I’ve used three coats since the gold is quite sheer and I like full opacity, but two might have worked also. I didn’t use any topcoat with this one as the topcoat could sometimes dull the holo effect.


I’m happy to own this color as I’ve never seen anything sparkle like this before. I can still remember the first time I held the bottle in direct light and was mesmerized.


Obviously getting your hands on these is almost impossible since every nail polish addict wants this collection, but if you really need them in your life and don’t care how much you’ll spend, Ebay might still have some.   



Do you like this color? Do you own any holographic nail polishes?
