Treasures by Tan ~ Lickin’ Lizard

Treasures by Tan ~ Lickin’ Lizard  

Pale metallic green linear holo

Here’s another one of the six Treasures by Tan holos that I bought recently. I knew already from the first one I tried (check it out here) that they need underwear to work. That’s kind of a disappointment, but fortunately something I can work my way around.

I started out with a Pastel polish that I got in a swap with my friend Aylin from Posh Nail Art. I think I’m slightly colourblind when it comes to blues and greens, because I took it for being mint green, although on the pictures it looks blue. But anyway, it’s #145, and the formula is great, even for a pastel colour, and the drying time is really good. It took two easy coat to make it look good, and behold – I’m wearing pastels again, take a look:

I must admit that I like this! I wouldn’t wear it on its own, but then again, I hardly ever wear any polish on its own, so I don’t see that as a big deal.

I applied the Lickin’ Lizard, and I snapped this picture after having applied one coat on my little finger and my ring finger – just to give you an idea of what it looks like over the mint. The two first pictures are taken in regular daylight.

Then I applied the holo on the rest of the nails, ending up with two coats on each nail. And here’s a picture in the sunshine for you:

The holo isn’t very prominent, as you can see. Hmfr!

Here’s one last shot – it is a holo after all!

 

I really wanted to like this series of holos, but I’m not convinced that they are keepers yet. I’ve still got a blue, red, magenta and a holo topper to try yet, before I make the final decision about these.

So, what do you think? Would you keep?
