Holo Month Day 25: Jade Seducao Rosa

Today, for...



...I have the last of the Jade Holografico polishes I recently purchased form Shoppe Eclecticco to show you. Jade Seducao Rosa is a bright, rosy pink shade that packs that usual holographic punch I've come to expect of the Jade Holografico polishes.



Seducao Rosa is less opaque than Vermelho Surreal, which I showed you yesterday. I used three thin coats of Seducao Rosa in all my pictures.





This is actually one of the rare brighter pink shades you'll find in my collection because I don't think I can pull off the bright pink look. It just isn't me.



As always, I usually google swatches of a polish before deciding to buy it and I must warn you, most of the online swatches you'll see of Seducao Rosa are rather deceiving. Because of that, I thought Seducao Rosa would be a pinkish-copper shade so imagine my surprise when I saw this bright pink polish after unwrapping the bubble wrap. I think the promo picture that Jade released is pretty colour accurate.



The moment I ordered Seducao Rosa, I already knew I wanted to compare it to Ozotic 522 and I had thought they'd be close because well, I had expected Seducao Rosa to be less pink.

This is three coats of both polish.



As you can see, Ozotic 522 is a few shades darker and redder than Seducao Rosa. For that reason alone, if I had to, between the two, I'd pick 522.



I don't know, I just don't see myself being able to pull off Seducao Rosa. I'm not saying it's not a nice polish, because it is, it was really nice to apply and I've come to love the Jade brushes. Sadly, it just isn't very "me" but for those looking for a nice, bright office-friendly pink holographic, this would be a good choice!

Holo Month Day 24: Jade Vermelho Surreal

Continuing on...



KAPOW! Here's another red, hot and sexy holographic shade I have for y'all!
This is 2 coats of Jade Vermelho Surreal.



Vermelho Surreal was pretty opaque and applied easily but holy moly, was it hard to capture on camera. The picture below is the most colour-accurate.



Did I also mention that it's super holo? I mean LOOOOOOK!





Remember Ozotic 518 that I showed you earlier during Holo Month? The moment I got Vermelho Surreal in the mail, I knew they were very similar but I didn't know how similar they were until I saw them side by side!
This is 2 coats of Jade Vermelho Surreal and Ozotic 518.



If you really must know, Vermelho Surreal is a tad bit cooler than 518 but it's only by the tinniest bit. I'm pretty sure if you show these swatches to an ordinary non-polish addict, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. BUTBUTBUT Vermelho is slightly more holographic than 518 and is a bit more opaque too.



In conclusion, in terms of
Holographic power: Jade Vermelho Surreal wins
Application: Ozotic 518 wins (I friggin love the Ozotic brush!)
Opaqueness: Jade Vermelho Surreal wins
Pricing: Ozotic 518 wins (Jade Vermelho is $1.23 per ml while Ozotic 518 is $1.65 per ml)
soooooo, it's a tie and I can't choose. I feel like a proud mama who refuse to favour one of her kid over the other!

By the way, you can get your very own bottle of Vermelho Surreal at Shoppe Eclecticco and Ozotic 518 at Star Trinkets!

Holo Month Day 23: Jade Magia Negra

For my second post for...



I chose a A BLACK HOLO!!!!! HOLAAAAA!

Jade Magia Negra is the deepest and blackest holographic polish I've seen. OMG IT'S SO PRETTY!



This was two easy coats of Magia Negra.



It was actually pretty opaque and you could probably get away with one coat if you know what you're doing!







Magia Negra is HOLO HEAVEN!



Here I have a comparison of Magia Negra with Glitter Gal Lizard Belly and 10 to Midnight, as well as my Spectraflair topcoat painted over a black base.



You can see that Lizard Belly is visibly greener and 10 to Midnight is a shade lighter than Magia Negra. Sadly, my SF topcoat doesn't seem to be as linearly holo as it should be! :(



Honestly, I've been looking at my holo polishes and I think I have a couple more to show you so I may continue posting holo polishes even after I've completed Holo Month! :)
