Halo Hues and Nfu Oh

Hi there!

This will surely be a hodge-podge of a post...

Color Club - Angel Kiss, Blue Heaven, Harp On It,
Cloud Nine, Halo-Graphic, and Cherubic.

Each set of pictures will show a picture in natural light and a picture taken with a flash. I didn't use top coat or base coat with any of the manicures and/or swatches, and I painted 2 coats of every polish.

Angel Kiss...

The formula is a smidge thick... so if you're heavy handed when applying nail polish, be careful or your tips might get chunky. This is my second time wearing Angel Kiss, and I'm pleased. I know it's been a task in the past with keeping holographic polish from chipping, but I had absolutely no problems.

Nfu Oh 61, Color Club Worth the Risque, Harp On It, Blue Heaven, and Nfu Oh 65...

I paired the silvers and blues together because I have a hard time telling them apart- especially Harp On It and Blue Heaven. The formulas of the Halo Hues were the best, followed by Worth the Risque and both Nfu Oh polishes.

This set of colors is just as difficult to tell apart as the silvers and blues. The pinks and purples are so close in hue that they don't look different. The formulas of the Halo Hues were the best, followed by Fashion Addict and both Nfu Oh polishes.

Cherubic...

I wore Cherubic for 3 days before I changed my manicure. At the time of polish removal, there was no chipping, flaking, or peeling.

Overall, I prefer the Halo Hues polishes to both the other Color Club holographic polishes and the Nfu Oh polishes. The formulas were all much smoother and shinier... however, they smell worse. I noticed myself wanting to cough and sneeze each time I used a Halo Hues polish. The caps of the Halo Hues polishes aren't the best. Something about them makes them difficult to open- they don't seem as thick and as sturdy as the black-capped Color Club polishes. I kept thinking I was sure to crack them.

If you're simply looking at this post to see who won the Halo Hues giveaway... yes, yes... I'll get to it :-) The winners are JamieWillett and HaileeBeezy. I've emailed both ladies, and I'll update this portion of today's post if/when I hear back from them. Thank you to everyone who participated!

So, do you have any of the polishes pictured above? Which is your favorite? I'm still waiting on a red holographic polish to make its way into my life. Or, perhaps, an emerald green! How perfect would that be this time of year?

Until next time...

Holographic Loveliness

Hi there!

I haven't done a manicure with my Konad plates in a while, so I did one today :-)

My nails painted with Color Club - Fashion Addict.
Stamped with Konad plate M60.

Here's what I used...

Color Club - Fashion Addict, Konad - Special Black,
Seche Vite top coat, stamper, scraper, and M60.

I absolutely love this and it's the perfect spring manicure!

Until next time...

Pretty, Pretty Holos

Hi there!

I highly credit retail therapy for helping me get through the past couple of weeks. 5 of the new polishes I ordered arrived in today's mail.

My nails painted with holographic Color Club polishes. From thumb
to pinky, they are: Worth the Risque, Revvvolution, Wild at Heart,
Fashion Addict, and Love 'Em/Leave 'Em.
These are the first Color Club polishes I've owned. They all apply beautifully and the formula seems flawless. I was unsure about whether or not Worth the Risque was holographic, so I ordered it to find out for myself since pictures of it vary so widely. It's the least holographic of the bunch. In some lighting, I see flashes of gold, pink, and green. So it is holographic, but it's a baby holographic.

The rest of the colors are definitely holographic. They're gorgeous and I love them!

Next on my holographic shopping list is Nfu Oh - 61. I'm determined to own it!

What's your favorite holographic nail polish and/or one you're dying to own?

Until next time...
