The holographic effect isn't as "in your face" with this one as it is with Austin Powers, but it's a gorgeous polish nonetheless. In real life it leans a little more red-violet than what you see here.
I did the same application as last time: Aqua Base, polish, Aqua Base, polish, Seche Vite. My bottle of Cranberry Cosmo is a little thick, which made it a bit tricky to apply. I'll probably thin it a little before using it again.
Sigh. I love holographic polish . . .
Those totally remind me of Dorothy's Red Slippers!
ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they?!
Deleteso pretty. i am definitely envious of your gorgeous nails!
ReplyDeletetee hee - thanks!
DeleteBeautiful!! I just bought Enchanted Polish Austin Powers from a blog sale and I'm pretty excited!
ReplyDeleteHave you heard the buzz about Essence Peel-Off base coat/PVA glue/Elmer's glue basecoat? Essence launched a non-damaging,peel-off basecoat in Europe, and a blogger realized the ingredients were the same as Elmer's Glue. People have been using it as a basecoat for chunky glitters as it is cheap and easy to remove. I've also read that several have found this also works like Aqua Base for holos! I plan on experimenting...
Pam! This is a huge revelation! Thank you for this!
DeleteVery very nice! The only holos I really have are the Catherine Arleys, and I've not had problems with them. But I will keep the Aqua in mind for the future.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't tried the Aqua Base with my less-holo-y holos to see if it makes a difference. Maybe today . . .
