Pupa ~ 034 - blue denim holographic


Pupa ~ 034  
Jeans blue holographic

I’ve been wanting to try this holo for a while, so I was glad to see Mr. Sun with his hat on today. I got this blue polish from my friend Anastasia from Little World of Coloured Nails.

I love holos and I love blue polishes, so there’s absolutely no reason for me not to like this polish. The formula is good – it’s almost a one coater. But I had a few thin spots, so the second coat evened everything out nicely. Drying time was good, it didn’t take long for this to dry.

So here is a picture of two coats of the holographic blue beauty – without topcoat:




The pictures are taken in the sunshine, and I really like the look of this polish:




The rainbows aren’t as prominent as in some of the stronger holos, but it’s there and I really like this polish:




I decided to stamp on it. I chose a green crème for the purpose, namely Sally Hansen Insta-Dri “Just in Lime!”, which is bought for stamping purposes. I know it’s not a colour you’d typically chose for a denim blue, but I was in the mood for something else than just white or silver. So lime green it was. And it actually wasn’t bad at all. A little subtle, but not bad.




I used the Mash stamping plate Mash-29 for this design:



Do you think it works with the green stamp on the denim blue? I like it! :)
