Jade ~ Violetta

Jade ~ Violetta  

Purple with a strong linear holo effect

There’s only 8 ml in Jade’s holos, so I decided to save the precious polish and put on some underwear for it. I applied one coat of Max Factor Glossfinity “Amethyst”, which is a squishy looking purple. I didn’t take a pic of this step – I had bald spots here and there so it definitely needs two coats to work on its own.

Then I applied one layer of Jade “Violetta”. Application was very easy, it covered my underwear perfectly – no bald spots, no problems with getting it to look good. The only downside is the smell. It doesn’t smell very good! (reading that all back it sounds hilariously weird, so I leave it unchanged, LOL!)

And here it is in all its glory:

There’s no top coat on yet. I can’t believe how fantastic a holo this is! There are little rainbows on all my nails, and it’s soooo pretty.

There are even rainbows in lower light too. Here’s a pic taken in daylight, but without direct sunlight:

Pretty eh? I’m totally in love with this holo! 

But even though I find this extremely pretty, I still had the need to modify it. I went for glittery tips. I used Revlon’s “Star”, which is a clear base with different sized glitter. I sponged it onto my tips, and my mani was done:

 

Then – mostly to seal up the glitter – I applied one coat of Seche Vite top coat. It didn’t seem to dull the holo effect at all, at least not in real life.

All in all I’m love with this holo. It’s definitely not my last Jade. What’s your favourite holo, if you have one?
