Sation ~ Let’s mingle and jingle - with holo dots

Sation ~ Let’s mingle and jingle

Blue jelly base with sparse silver glitter

Let’s mingle and jingle is from Sation’s Holiday Golightly collection from 2012.

The formula was a challenge. It was thick, which I usually don’t mind, but that, when combined with the fat brush, made it almost impossible to paint on properly. Drying time is also on the slow side, giving it attributes which when taken together make me wonder if this polish needs to live in the box of shame!

It took two coats to achieve this look:

And from a different angle: 

I must admit that I’m willing to forgive this polish for being so difficult, because I really like the way it looks. And it’s perfect for all sorts of nail art,

I like that!

So I decided to go for a few simple dots today. I used Color Club’s “Over the Moon”, which is a strong blue linear holo, and I used Catrice’s Quick Dry & High Shine topcoat to seal the whole thing up:

These last two pictures are taken under a light bulb so the holo shows itself:

And here are the polishes lined up for the camera:

I have decided to keep this polish for now – I seriously need to try and stamp on it and perhaps even make a gradient with it. If I get just as upset with it the next time around, I might change my mind and let it go! :D

How about you, girls? Would you keep it?
