Purple Holo Flowers

Hello lovelies!! So since I have the six pack of Color Club's Halo Hues, I'm gonna work on swatching them all! I can't really bear to paint my nails only to take the polish off six times in a row though, so I'll just be taking the pics, wearing the polish for a couple days, and repeating until I have all of them swatched. Then I'll make a big ol masterpost. Anyways! I started with CC Eternal Beauty, a super gorgeous purple holo, and then stamped on Orly Close Your Eyes, a really pretty, almost metallic looking, pinky purple, using BM-306.

I'm really happy with the result! Since CYE isn't super mega pigmented, it's almost transparent when looking at my nails in the sun, giving EB a chance to totally show off its holo. In the shade though, it totally gets a chance to shine and it stamped super well, giving me nice perfect flowers.

Rainbow Holo Stamped Flowers

Hey lovelies! Today I went out and took a bunch of pictures in the sun so I could try to catch some of the fabulous colors in Color Club's Halo Hues polishes, and even though I was able to get some pretty good shots, they still just don't capture how great this polish's holo is. Literally. Mindblowing.

The application for CC Over The Moon was fantastic, with two coats covering flawlessly. They also dried fairly fast, which was a plus. I then stamped with CC Beyond, which stamped excellently but I found that the polish itself was a little goopy. Kind of disappointed with the formula on that one, but maybe I just got a bad bottle? I hope so. I'd still recommend the polish to anyone looking for a stunning black holo. On my ring finger I stamped with OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue, which came out way more transparent and blue than I was expecting (I was hoping for more of an opaque black with blue glitter), but I still like how it looks! It just doesn't fit in as an accent as well as I'd hoped.

(Preview) Rainbow Holo Stamped Flowers

Hello lovelies! This is just a preview of the post I'll make tomorrow where I show my new mani off now that it's all nice and fresh. Recently I purchased a 6 pack of the new Color Club Halo Hues, which I've been dying to try out, but I've been working through my list of manis to do that I haven't had time. So tonight I finally decided to go for it! I went with a base of Color Club Over The Moon, which covered my nails nicely in two coats. Then I tried to stamp flowers with BM-320 using CC Kismet, but it didn't show up at all, so I went with CC Beyond. As an accent on my ring finger, I used OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue, which I had hoped would show up as more of a black, but I still think it looks ok.

Let me know what you think!! I'll make a sunlight post tomorrow. :)
