GOSH Holographic

Time for some holo goodness on this blog! I picked this little beauty up on a recent trip to the UK - just found a few random GOSH polishes in a little pharmacy in the local train station, and they all happened to be ones that I wanted - love when that happens!

When you're painting this one on, it doesn't look that great...then it dries...then you go in the sun...and then THIS happens:

This is two coats with no topcoat. Some people have said that they find topcoat dulls the effect of the holo, so I just didn't use any. I didn't need it anyway. Dry time on this was super fast.

This colour is a lot of fun, especially in the sun! I still think my Nfu-Ohs are the best holos though - will have to review them soon for you so you can see! Only problem is that they're so hard to get here in Aus - there's only one distributor (who I got the ones I have off) but I can't figure out how to order off their website anymore (I swear its a confusing website and not me being slow).

Til next time!

Butter London All Hail The Queen

This polish was originally released as part of a tribute to fashion designer Alexander McQueen, and was named "All Hail McQueen". I'm not sure what the problem was (maybe his estate took issue with the name?) but the name has been changed to "All Hail The Queen", and that is what my bottle is labelled with.

Here are the pics:

This is a gorgeous taupe/light brown polish with what looks like a silver microshimmer under most indoor light. But bring it out into the sun, and the secret holo comes alive! This is not an in-your-face kind of holo - it is very subtle and shy. This is two coats topped with Seche Vite.

I absolutely love Butter London, and this one is no exception. I think its muted enough to get away with it in a conservative environment, but with the added extra of the shiny, sparkly holo that only you will know about! Kind of like wearing sexy lingerie under your suit :)
