Perfect Holographic Nail Polish H5, H6 & H7

Pssssst!  You lookin' for holos?  I got some holos.  Let me show you *opens trench coat*.  Really, I do have some super holo-y holos to show you today.  These are called Perfect Holographic Nail Polish and they are from Bulgaria.  Isn't that cool?  I know I love trying out polish from different countries!  Thankfully you don't have to find swap partner from Bulgaria to get them because Color4Nails carries them and currently has them in stock!  These bottles, as you will see are smaller than what you are used to at 6.5 ml. But they are also priced accordingly at $4.75.   And for the amount of holo you get in that baby bottle it's a steal!  You can find out more information about the Perfect Holographics on the Color4Nails Facebook page or Instagram feed (color4nails).

Well let's jump into the review so I can tell you more!

*PRESS SAMPLE*

This is H5 (there are no names, just letter/number combos here).  H5 is described as a light magenta color.  I can see that but it also leans a bit lavender too.  First things first, I had to shake the bottle (all 3 bottles actually) a good amount to mix it up.  I then put on a layer of regular base coat.  My understanding is aqua base is the best to use when it comes to holos, but I don't have it so I worked with what I do have.  I then used 2 coats of H5.  This polish does not want to be overworked.  Be sure to get a good amount on your brush and don't go over the same spot too many times.  It could cause some balding.  Aside from that the polish gave me no problems.  And would you look at that holo payoff?!  I did not use topcoat.    










Here we have H6.  H6 is called a beige/nude holo.  Well you KNOW how I feel about nude holos.  I love them!  This was my favorite of the bunch because I am such a sucker for nude holo.  Alas the holo effect was the least strong in this one.  But I still enjoyed it immensely.  It's a perfect color to compliment a Summer tan or as a Fall neutral.  I used 2 layers over base coat and no topcoat.  This one seemed a little less temperamental and I didn't have to be nearly as careful with the balding.  










And lastly we have H7.  Isn't this a gorgeous color?  H7 is a called a purple holo.  Plain and simple.  But I think it's more blurple because I definitely see some blue in there.  The holo effect on H7 was quite amazing.  I caught myself in a full on stare several times when I wore H7.  I found the formula on H7 to be closer to H6 in that it was easier to work with and didn't want to bald so much as H5 did.  But I would still suggest that you don't over manipulate the polish and use as few brushstrokes as possible.  I used base coat, 2 layers of H7 and no topcoat.

Jamberry Nails, Zoya Godiva and Julie G Sugar Rush

I have another Jamberry Nail wrap to show off today!  This one is quite fun.  I decided to try out a couple of my texture polishes that coordinated with the wrap.  

I'll start by saying I think the lighter color of the wrap shows more imperfections.  So if you are new to nail wraps like I am maybe stick to darker colors as they seem to hide any application flaws?  I applied this wrap exactly as I had the last one….clean and dry nails, match up the wrap to the finger nail it would match, use a heat source to soften the wrap, place on nail, press down all over nail, trim, file excess and use heat again while pressing down some more. 

To coordinate I used 2 coats of Zoya Godiva on my index and thumb.  I love this sandy nude color.  It's really flattering and gorgeous.  I also used 2 coats of Julie G Sugar Rush from the new Gumdrops collection.  Sugar Rush is kind of coral, kind of red-orange, all kinds of pretty.  Sugar Rush is on my ring and pinky fingers.  No topcoat used on any nails.

Lacquer Lust Butt Bootie Naked

What I'm about to show you is the most gorgeous nude EVER.  I kid you not.  Lacquer Lust Butt Bootie naked is a mega win in my life…nude and holo?!  I went nuts-o over it until it was in my possession!  I'm so glad it's part of my stash because it's really stunning.  BBN is a classy color with a little extra oomph that makes it 100x cooler.  In the pictures below I used base coat and 3 coats of BBN.  No topcoat.  The nail line is still ever-so-slightly visible, but that never really bothers me (maybe because I really love jellies and those always have VNL).  Application was flawless, smooth with no dragging.  I also included a few pictures with flash to really show off the holo!  Enjoy!

Lacquer Lust just re-released Butt Bootie Naked on 4/7 and has said it will be part of her core line due to the huge demand for it.  I will only warn you that her store sells out in the blink of an eye so be prepared, be fast, and be ready for polish heartache (yes that was me over Eternal Bliss in the last restock).  You can follow info for restocks and new colors on Facebook, Instagram (lacquerlust) and @lacquuerlust on Twitter.   And now what you really want to know…where to buy Lacquer Lust nail polish creations: Big Cartel, Harlow & Co, and Shoppe Eclecticco!
