Nabi Hologram ~ 06 Ocean Blue
Sea blue linear holo
You should know by now that I take every
opportunity to pull out one of my holos! Today, it’s another one of my Nabis
that I want to make shine on my nails.
The formula is good, but this polish really
likes an aqua base coat. I had forgotten about that, so I just used my regular
basecoat. That caused a bit of dragging, so I used the lightest touch and as
few brush strokes as possible. The polish is fortunately both quick drying and
self levelling so it wasn’t a big problem. The pigmentation is good, and it
took two coats to make it opaque. And here’s how the beauty looks in the
sunshine:
Is that a great blue or what? I fell in love
with this instantly!
The holo effect is good – not the strongest
I’ve seen, but I love the fact that this polish looks great when it’s in shadow
too!
I tried something new today. I have bought some tools made for cutting out little patterns in paper. I’ve got a star, a heart and a musical note. Today I decided to try the star. I cut out a star in a piece of tape with the tool, placed the tape on a nail and sponged Golden Rose Holday #60 on, and then removed the tape instantly. I repeated these steps on all the nails.
And man, am I pleased with this? Yes I am!
Take a look:
The textured black Golden Rose polish makes
the stars almost 3D. There is no top coat on these pictures. Later I actually
added a layer of a thin topcoat (mix of other topcoat leftovers) – which didn’t
spoil the effect at all.
This is a mani that I seriously don’t want to
take off!
Please tell me your honest opinion about this.
Are you as thrilled as I am?

blue color is amazing! But holo effect is quite wear for me. So the stars looks very cool, I like the idea :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the star. I got two more tools like that, that I'll try out too: A heart and a music note :)
DeleteThis is very pretty! The stars look like starfish in water :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, they do too! I love that! :D
DeleteThis is so pretty, and such a Shiny Rainbow shade ;)
ReplyDeleteAwwh... thank you so much!! :)
Deletelovely! I never used Nabi polishes but I think the bottles look like Laylas... :)
ReplyDeleteYes they do - they're in different drawers in the Helmer here :)
DeleteA lot of holos I see are a bit more muted in color, so it's great to see such a vibrant color as a holo! Love this! :D
ReplyDelete~ Yun

DeleteThis is such an amazing blue color!
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? I think it suits the name perfectly! :)
DeleteDude you're starting to beat me in the holo department!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my best! ;)
