Essence ~ 01 Hello Holo

Holographic silver microglitter

Hello Holo is the first polish in the Holo Rainbow Collection from Autumn 2017. There are five polishes in the collection and I bought all five of them. Glitter and holo – it’s right up my alley.

I wasn’t quite sure whether these polishes were toppers or not, but I was ready to take the chance. And the good news is that they aren’t toppers.

I used two easy coats for full coverage. The drying time is a bit faster than average.

The rose stamp is from the stamping plate “Celebrate BPX-L014” and I stamped with a Max Factor polish my boyfriend bought for me a couple of years ago: “Burgundy Crush”.

Here’s the final manicure, including one layer of topcoat. The photo is taken in a rare beam of sunlight.

Here’s the same thing in my lightbox so you can see that the stamp is actually roses.

And here’s Hello Holo on its own. Two coats and no topcoat involved yet.

This is the stuff I used for my manicure.

Hello Holo loves topcoat. I ended up with two layers of topcoat but my nails still weren’t smooth. I don’t mind, I just wonder how many coats it would actually take to make the glitter flat.
