Rainbow Favourites- PURPLE!

Hey hey! I'm excited about today, I loooove purple, I think I have more purple and green than anything else in my stash!

Now, I was torn between 2 polishes today, and I was going to turn them into a gradient, but alas, it rained all day and there was no sunlight :/ so instead, I'll just post my older swatches of them!

First up, OPI DS Original;

And China Glaze LOL

Need I say more?!

One more day left of the challenge! And my pink is a doozy!

Until next time,

LOL!

No, I'm not laughing at anything! I promised that if there was some sunlight today that I'd have an awesome polish to show you, and I do! Luckily, we had an hour or two of sunlight, so I took full advantage of it!

China Glaze LOL from the OMG Collection. I was lucky enough to find someone with access to most of the collection, and I could not say no!

LOL is a purple linear holo. I painted my first coat and thought "this is the perfect grape-y purple!" And it is. Very grape-y. And beautiful.

I used 2 coats here, and it was perfect! Smooth, glossy without top coat, and dried fast. It's a little on the thin side, and that really makes any imperfections on you nail bed visible. I can see all my ridges and dents quite well...

I have been saying for months now that China Glaze make the best purples. And they do, they really do. Given the chance, I would take a CG purple over any other brand. And the fact that this one is crazy gorgeous, and holo, it bumps its way up to the top of my favourites list!

Now I'm back to hoping that I get some more sun tomorrow, because I still have LOTS to show you!

Until Next Time,

China Glaze GR8

Hello Hello!

Another holo to show you today, China Glaze GR8 from the OMG collection. I wasn't into polish when it was released, so I missed out on most of them before they all started costing an arm and a leg! I did recently find this one for cheap, so I couldn't say no...

I have to be honest here, I'm not keen on gold... And I put this polish on and was like ".............meh". 

In the shade

And then I took it outside into the sunlight.

Not bad, CG, not bad. Yellow toned gold liner holo.  I do love me some holo! But theres something about this one that I just love. And I can't pick what it is... It's a surprise, so plain indoors, and amazing outdoors. 

Its one of those holos that does dry semi-matte, and I've been told by a few people that top coat ruins the holo effect, so I have no top coat on. Nor a base coat, because that (for some reason) makes it harder to apply.

I don't know why, but the labelling on the jar just slides off... So my jar looks old, but it isn't! This has the typical holo properties; dries fast, 2 coats (though they were thiiiin coats, could get away with one careful one). And pretty. SO pretty. I have finally found a gold I like and it gets discontinued. Typical lol.

But if you can snag this polish, DO IT! It's amazing!


Until Next Time,
