Holo Month Day 21: Jade Hypnose

To make up for interupting Holo Month, I'm going to do two posts today and this is the second one. Yes, we're back on track with holo Month once more.

I realised I have too many holo polishes to show you for Holo Month. I think I may continue showing y'all my holo babies even after Holo month is over. :D Yes, I actually bought that many new holo polishes. I'm such a slave to holo polishes it's not even funny.

This is 2 coats of Jade Hypnose, a medium blue linear holographic polish.





BWZPUOAHDEMAJZAW. Words can't even express my love for this baby.















I thought Hypnose looked extremely familiar the moment I put it on and SURPRISE SURPRISE! Dupe alert!

This is 3 thin coats of Ozotic 515 and 2 thicker coats of Hypnose. The difference between the two is really extremely minute but if you must know, 515 is the tiniest bit cooler than Hypose. They are just as holo though so if you missed out on 515, Hypnose would be a good polish to grab!







Stay tuned for the second blue holo in the Jade Holografico collection!

Ozotic 902

Hey polish lovers! Today I'm interupting Holo Month you show you a very special polish, Ozotic 902 from the new Ozotic Sugar range! The range is inspired by adding a tiny drop of colouring to icing sugar, hence the sugary and frosty look!

902 appears purple with just a little more! This is 4 thin coats on its own.







You can see there's a duochrome finish to it. On its own, it shifts from a overcast grey to purple, with pretty blue flecks shinning through.

You can also layer 902 over white, to get a pretty, pale lavender look. This is two coats of 902 over white.







Layering it over white makes me think of fairy wings! It just looks so precious!

One last look you've got to check out (and try!) is how 902 looks over a black base. This is one coat of 902 over black.



Isn't 902 just GORGEOUS over black? The blue flecks stand out so much more!



And here you can see the prominent blue to purple shift.





At extreme angles, you can even catch a little hint of amber in the colour shift!



It's a magical transformation that you need to see to believe!

I couldn't resist some macro shots! I mean, just look at the colour shift!!! As usual, Ozotic's duochromes/multichromes never disappoint!





Here's a shot taken indoors, under no direct lighting, not near any windows, just a random spot in my room. It only goes to show the polish shines even when it's not under strong lighting!



The moment I painted 902 over black, I knew it looks familiar and I dug out two of my frankens made from adding TKB pigments into clear polish.







As you can see, my two frankens are pretty similar to 902 but they aren't dupes at all! TKB Cherika Moon has more teal and less purple to it and TKB Lavender Luz has more of a finer, shimmery appearance, compared to the glass fleck appearance of Ozotic 902.

I also needed two coats of my franken over black vs the one coat of 902 I used over black, so you know how densely packed 902 is with those magical glass flecks!





Here's one last shot of the three polishes, again taken in the same random spot with no direct lighting. Boy, the colour shift really looks so pretty!



The formula of 902 was amazing and it was really easy to get an even coat of polish when painted on its own or over black. When painted over white, it was a tiny bit harder to get an even coat but it wasn't impossible. You just have to get the right amount of polish on the brush.

The dry time was also good and they were dry to the touch in under ten minutes. That's pretty awesome considering I had a minimum of 3 coats of polish on my nails.

There are three other shades to the Sugar range and another four shades to the Beam range (that were inspired by reflecting luminous light beams), both of which were just launched on the piCture pOlish facebook page a couple of days ago. Morenailpolish has amazing swatches of all eight of the new shades so go check them out as well!

Both the Sugar and Beam ranges are now available on piCture pOlish and Star Trinkets.

Holo Month Day 20: Jade Fascinio Violeta

If I had to pick only one polish from the Jade Holografico collection, this would be it. Fascinio Violeta is a medium-tone purple and it was a no-brainer buy for me.

This is 3 thin coats, taken under artificial lighting.









The linear holographic effect on Fascinio Violeta is KE-RAY-ZEE, as with all the other Jades fro the same collection. It was on the thin side but even with 3 coats, it applied really well. I just wish it was a little more opaque.





Here's a comparison between a couple of linear purple holographic polishes that I own, that have a similar holo effect (akin to the Spectraflair look).

This is 2 coats of Ozotic 513, 3 coats of Fascinio Violet and 2 coats of Wild Thang (a franken).





515 is much more red-tone than Fascinio Violeta and my franken Wild Thang is slightly more murky and less holographic. Fascinio Violeta is also clearly the most holographic out of the three polishes.

I honestly think I can never have enough purple holos! <3

Holo Month Day 19: Jade Mystic Gold

My entire package of mostly holographic polishes (Jade + Layla Hologram + Nfu Oh) from Shoppe Eclecticco arrived recently and I just couldn't wait to start swatching them! I chose jade Mystic gold as the first one to wear and holy moly, it's such a crazy gold, ultra holographic polish!

This is 3 thin coats of Mystic Gold.









It's such a different kind of gold from all the other gold holos. It actually reminds me of chrysanthemum tea!





Here's a blurry picture to show you how friggin' holo Mystic Gold is!



Mystic Gold was easy to apply. I did 3 thin coats but I suspect you could get away with 2 thicker coats. I've swatched 3 Jade Holografico polishes already (you'll be seeing them shortly) and so far, all their polish has been amazing to paint. Their formula is similar to Ozotic's though I like Ozotic's brush better. Still, Mystic Gold was much easier to apply than the Layla Holograms and Nfu Oh holographics.

Can't wait to show you the rest of them! Stay tuned! (:

Head on down to Shoppe Eclecticco to grab your very own bottle of Jade Holografico polish!

Holo Month Day 18: TFS BK901

TFS BK901 is officially the polish I've blogged about the most number of times. I think it's been featured on this space five times already so this will be its sixth appearance.

I haven't exactly done a proper swatch of this charcoal holographic beauty yet so when A Lacquered Affair requested for one, I decided it would probably be a good thing to do one.

This is two coats of BK901, taken under artificial lighting.







BK901 isn't a blinding in-yer-face holographic polish but it is still considerably holo! I'd say it's comparable to Color Club Revvvolution.



Formula-wise, I only needed two coats but I must warn you to be light handed when it comes to painting your nails because this polish tends to leave brush marks. Other than that, I don't have anything bad to say about the polish. I do actually love the TFS brush because it fans out pretty nicely and it's pretty easy to control.





Overall, I think that if you're lucky enough to see this polish at your TFS store, GRAB IT. I had to get my bottle overseas (Malaysia) because the local TFS stores don't seem to carry this baby. I'd actually grab backups of this polish if I didn't already have Revvvolution. That's how much I love this polish but you already know that right? ;)
