Daiso Rainbow Holographic Polishes

So this is the first of my holographic polish series! I've been in a holo craze ever since I laid my eyes in OPI My Private Jet (original holo version), which I sadly do not own and I've been looking for as many holo babies as I can find (and afford) to fill up that void. HAHA!

Managed to track down 4 holographic polishes from Daiso at the IMM branch. The Ion and Eastpoint branches always only have the same 2 boring shades. I was so happy when I saw these 4 babies!









Took these first 4 pictures under my table lamp. Do you see how the silver holographic one has this pink sheen, especially in the forth picture?

The next series of pictures were taken next to my window in indirect sunlight.











End of picture spam! As with all the pictures on this blog, click to enlarge them!

I wore 2 coats of all 4 polishes in all the pictures but they were a little sheer so 3 coats would be better. Even though the bottles are really small (5ml each), they're only $2 and I will probably never finish any of my polishes so size should not matter! :D

I think the charcoal one is more holographic than my dud version of CC Revvvolution! For $2, it ain't bad at all! Perhaps I should have bought a couple more to mix with my other polishes and franken up more holo babies!

Today's the last day of January! How has 2012 been treating you so far? I hope that it's better than 2011!

OPI Japanese Collection Nudes

This is the last post for the nude polishes series. That said, I'm so happy to say that I finally own all three of the nude polishes from the OPI Japanese Collection from 2005!

For these swatches, I used Nailtek Foundation II which dried matte and cloudy, which totally made swatching these nude babies MUCH easier! I used to have to do almost 4 coats for Miso Happy With This Color but I only had to do 2 coats here.

L - R: Have a Tempura Tantrum, Let Them Eat Rice Cake and Miso Happy With This Color (1 coat each)



This was one coat each and as you can see from the picture below, Nailtek dried a bit tacky and it caused the first coat of polish to dry a bit matte and rougher than usual.



L - R: Have a Tempura Tantrum, Let Them Eat Rice Cake and Miso Happy With This Color (2 coats each)



And here's a shot that's not so zoomed in so you can see the colors on my skintone. Top to bottom: Miso Happy, Rice Cake and Tempura.



I'm actually pretty surprised all three of them look decent on my skintone! YAY! More nude polishes for work! (:
