Hey everyone! I apologize for not having blogged for so long, but I desperately needed the short break :-) Now, it's back to business as usual!

Milani came out with a line of six holographic polishes a few months ago. I spotted them in my CVS and ended up picking up three of them. They remind me a lot of China Glaze's Kaleidescope Collection. The formula on this one was OK, and required three coats. It has lots of holo shimmer to it, and the wear was pretty decent as well. It is most definitely pink, but sometimes when I look at it, I feel like it leans a little toward light purple as well. Either way, super fabulous color!

I loooove holographic polishes. They are simply amazing! Such as this beauty here...

This polish is a part of the OMG Collection, from which I've mostly used just the blues and pinks. This color is a pretty light purple with a pink/blue holo effect. The formula was a little sheer, which I have found in other polishes from the same collection, so I'm wearing three coats. It also dries to a semi-matte finish for some reason, so you'll want to use a good top coat to get that "wet" look. Other than that, this is a great color and a wonderful collection!

China Glaze Tickle My Triangle

I have a lot of polishes from China Glaze's Kaleidescope Collection. Honestly, I don't know why I haven't tried all of them yet -- they're all deliciously gorgeous! This one is no exception!

How do you say no to pink and holographic and sparklies? I don't think I can!!! This polish has all three, in addition to a great formula that applied very easily and was opaque in just two coats. I seriously love this color!!! Can you guys tell that I've been on a pink kick lately?? I think maybe it's because of the weather and my eagerly anticipating summer!

I am hardcore in love with China Glaze's OMG! Collection. It's a collection of twelve holographic polishes that pretty much blows any other polish out of the water. They're all insanely gorgeous, and this one has got to be one of my favorites that I've tried so far!

Even though there are three pinks in the collection, I think I can say with confidence that this one is my favorite. It's a gorgeous medium-to-dark pink that has a blue/green/purple holo effect. I love it!! The application was also great, and it only took two coats to reach opacity. My one gripe is that all of these dry somewhat matte -- however, a coat of Seche Vite helped solve that issue and make them all look incredibly shiny. I wore this as both a mani and pedi and it's so cool that even my manly-man boyfriend made a comment about how much he liked the color :-) Granted, the reason he liked it had more to do with cars (there's a word along the same lines of "holographic" in the car world that they use to describe a paint color that looks different shades depending on lighting). Kinda corny yes, but I'll take it!!

Oh, and also a quick plug and reminder for my giveaway! Please enter!! Only a few days left before a lucky winner is chosen :-D

Nubar Reclaim

I can't believe I've only shown one polish so far from Nubar's Going Green collection -- the whole collection is quite fabulous :-)

This is the duochrome of the collection. It is a shimmery green that also shines yellow/gold. The formula on this was great - it applied fluidly, evenly, and was opaque in two coats. I have four more polishes from this collection to try out. I normally love green - it's one of my favorite colors. However, I haven't really been in a green polish mood lately. I have been more into reds, pinks, and browns. I really need to add back into that rotation after seeing these pics :-D

I am super excited because the Michael Jackson DVD for This is It came out this week and I can't wait to buy it!! I am a huuuuuge MJ fan, and was so sad when he passed away. I meant to watch the movie in the theatres, but couldn't find anyone to go with me, and work was so busy. By the time I finally talked my boyfriend into watching it with me, it was announced that the DVD would be out in January, so I let him out of the movie obligation... haha. Anyway, I can't wait to buy it and hopefully watch it this weekend. If I had to pick a favorite MJ song, it would either be PYT or Wanna Be Startin' Something.

China Glaze DV8 + Nicole Winter Glitterland

Sometimes, I try out little experiments, and they seem to work. And, other times, they don't :-( I saw this glittery bottle of Nicole at Ulta, and I just had to buy it! I thought it would make an excellent glitter topcoat, and I decided to put it over a holographic polish, which probably wasn't the best idea in the world!

China Glaze DV8 + Nicole Winter Glitterland




Glitter on top of an already-shimmery holo is not the best idea I've ever had. Winter Glitterland is a clear polish with large rainbow hexagonal glitter in it as well as multi-colored small glitter. I put one coat of it over China Glaze's DV8 and decided I didn't really like how it looked, so I stopped after that. Even though it doesn't look all too great in this picture, I still think Winter Glitterland is beautiful, and will probably try it over a matte or suede polish next!

Another China Glaze Collection that I absolutely adore - the OMG! Collection! This collection of holographic polishes includes this gorgeous stunner:

China Glaze DV8




Check out how glossy and beautiful that is!! The pictures don't do it justice! It is a gorgeous teal/turquoise holographic sparkler. It was opaque in two coats, had wonderful application, and it sparkles with a hint of silver and also GREEN! So beautiful <3

China Glaze TMI

I love China Glaze's OMG Collection. It's a collection of 12 polishes filled with holographic yumminess. Check it out!

Super duper pretty holographic pink. The only thing that surprised me was how flat it finished. The shininess in the pics is the result of the top coat I put on after my second coat. I don't know if my base coat maybe caused the polish to dry a little flat, but it wasn't as shiny as I was expecting. Nonetheless, it wasn't something a coat of Seche Vite couldn't fix :-)

I can't believe I have to go back to work tomorrow :-( Having all this time off to spend with my friends and family was nice :-) I'm looking forward to being able to do it again come Christmas :-)

China Glaze 2NITE

I hope everyone had a fabulous Fourth of July! I had a laid back, but fun day. I normally hate July 4th because I have a crippling fear of loud noises, and this particular holiday doesn't seem to help that fear. However, I have learned how to live with my fear and still enjoy America's birthday -- I wear some earplugs and watch the fireworks from afar. My friends and I walked from my condo to this hilltop park behind my house and watched from there. We got an excellent view of the fireworks, which were a few miles away and across the harbor in downtown Boston. This year's show was a little short (only 20 minutes), but the fireworks were awesome!! Great job, Boston!! :-D

Today's NOTD is China Glaze's 2NITE, which is from the OMG collection. This light/medium blue holo is gorgeous!





I hope everyone has a great night! The weather today was perfect! For the first time in what seems like ever, there was sun all day long! I hope this lasts for a while. I am sick of all the rain!! G'nite!
