Holo Spammah!

In honour of my newly acquired Ikea Jansjo, I've whipped up some holo spam! Well technically a couple of these are holo glitters... but they are just so purdy!

I apologise if you notice any bumps on my middle and index fingers since I've got silk patches on those and haven't buffed down quite enough.

Nubar Reclaim. Green holo! Going Green was such a beautiful collection. A green lover's dream.

China Glaze Octa-Gone Wild. There are several versions of this floating around. I *think* I have the original release.

China Glaze Techno Teal. I know a lot of people were disappointed in the Tronica collection because they were hoping for more in your face holos. I love them for what they are though. The subtle holo effect is beautiful in the sun.

Ozotic 524. This is a strange one. It's a bronzey-brown frosty holo... weird. The first pic I took in the shade to show the frosty base a little better. This is certainly very unique, I've never seen anything quite like it, but it's still not my favourite.

BK 20. I've shown this one before but it's so beautiful it deserves more pics. Linear red holo. It pulls a lot less pink than Ozotic 518 and it also has a foily finish so it's still sparkly and interesting indoors when it's not spitting out rainbows :D

Missha HKH01. I've swatched this probably over five times before and I've never got colour accurate pics until now. It's so awesome. HKH01 is a crap tonne of dirty gold and holo microglitter chucked into a matching base. The glitter is so fine that I you can't actually discern any of the holo pieces - you just know they're there because they sparkle and dance in the light so prettily.

Kleancolor Holo Chrome over Color Club Pucci-licious. Eeeep, my skin is so yellow here! Well, at least the polish is showing up as colour accurate. Holo Chrome... a $1.75 masterpiece.

Economy Class (an MPJ franken) over black. I made this guy ages ago... I think it was sometime in April last year when I was really lemming the original MPJ something bad. Recipe: ~2/3 Ozotic 509 and ~1/3 black. Holo frankens are so simple to make!

China Glaze OMG. I don't wear this by itself a lot since there are so many other silver holos out there and this one konads so well. Example here.


Yay holos! They are probably my second favourite finish right behind duochromes and just a smidgen ahead of glitters.*

*Subject to change at any moment :)

Dare To Wear Ocean View and China Glaze Golden Enchantment

Ocean View is a beautiful serene blue creme. So calming and pretty to look at...

The formula was very lovely and smooth, opaque in two coats.

And here it is layered with one of my old favourites, China Glaze Golden Enchantment.

Itty bitty gold holo glitterrrrs! :D

Franken - Here, have a Rainbow

Such a simple, simple franken. My goal was a really sheer holo top coat akin to DS Shimmer and PCFS except sheerer. Those two are nice but IMO they are too dense to layer over something dark.

FULL ON DOUBLE RAINBOW!

Here is one coat over LA Girl Millennium, a dark purple foil.

Under artificial light...

And in weaksauce sun

I wish I had better pics to show you guys. It really is very nice but I suck at picking up holos on camera.

The recipe is simple. One third of a nice silver holo and two thirds of clear. Easy peasy! I used Ozotic 509 as my silver holo. I have a... "generous" supply of backups of 509 and I figured it'd be okay if I frankened some of it. LOL

I loved how the bottle looked as I was pouring!

Such a neat effect!
