Good morning! Same old song and dance - I meant to get this post up last night but I just ran out of time. Ok truthfully I passed out for a 3 hour nap late in the day and fell behind on things to take care of. This post. That gigantic pile of laundry that needs to be folded (UGH). Well I am still avoiding the laundry because I'd rather share these amazing holos with you! Last year Different Dimension came out with the Cosmologically Speaking collection - full of holos, shimmers and micro glitters. This year Missi is at it again and will be releasing Cosmologically Speaking Part 2, a collection of 6 gorgeous holos! I received these in my blogger gift bag after attending the Cocktails & Colors indie event while I was out in Las Vegas to participate in the always awesome CosmoProf. Well I have to say that I think the indie events not only rival the big convention, but they are even better because it's a great chance to meet makers and bloggers and really connect with them on a personal level. I will share more of my feelings on that with you later when I start posting my coverage of all things CPNA. For now I am ready to jump into holos, how about you?
The Cosmologically Speaking Part 2 collection launches on 8/1. You can get a 30% discount using the code CPNA2015. Code expires 8/31/15.

I went in alphabetical order this time (instead of rainbow order) and up first is Absolute Zero. This is a silvery nude holo, kind of a champagne color. It shows more silver in the direct sunlight. It's a gorgeous linear holo with a smattering of holo micro glitters. The formula and application were both excellent; smooth flowing, easily brushed on, no dragging. I used 3 coats of Absolute Zero for full coverage. I used 1 layer of topcoat to finish.

Blue Shift is WHOA! It's a super rich, vibrant blue. Of course it's a linear holo, But it's also full of silvery holo micro glitter. Guess what, this was a one coater! It's so freaking pretty I was mesmerized by my nails when I had it on. The formula and application of Blue Shift were both fabulous. Creamy, opaque and totally fabulous. I finished with a layer of topcoat.

Cosmic Ray is a hot pink linear holo with a helping of silver holo micro glitters. I love this color. I felt like Barbie wearing it. Again, the formula and application were both superb, no issues to report on this baby. I used 2 coats of Cosmic Ray for full coverage and topped it with 1 layer of topcoat.

Moving along, here's Quasar. This beauty is a stunning soft purple linear holo. Quasar actually has blue sparks in it, that I didn't show off well at all (sorry). When I first started painting with this I thought it was going to be sheer but it wasn't at all! The formula was nice and opaque and built up perfectly in 2 coats. I finished with a layer of topcoat.

There are so many gorgeous colors in this collection but I have to admit Retrograde is my favorite. This warm golden-brown linear holo is stunning. Retrograde is full of gold holo glitters and iridescent flakies. This is the brown to rule them all people! Formula and application were both perfect. I used 2 coats of Retrograde for full coverage and 1 layer of topcoat.

Rounding out the collection is Space-Time. I love this aqua-teal shade, it's fun and wearable and very summery. Along with being a linear holo, there are also tiny holo glitters and blue sparks. The formula and application were both stellar - just like this entire collection, no issues to bring up. I used 2 coats of Space-Time for full coverage. 1 layer of topcoat to finish it up!

Different Dimension will also have this nail art glass available in the shop on 8/1. It's perfect to use as a watermarbling, nail art or brush cleaning. Or you can use it for "other" purposes (hehe).
