Avon ~ Starburst, Galaxy, Celestial & Eclipse
A scattered holographic
skittle
Today I want to show you no less than four polishes I received in a
swap, namely four of Avon’s scattered holos.
Starburst is magenta, Galaxy is blue, Celestial is light green and
Eclipse is black. And that’s the order I’m showing them in here.
The formula is good for all of them. I had a little trouble with the
black one, which didn’t quite work like I wanted it to. It became a bit “lumpy”
and hard to put on evenly. Perhaps it was because it dried relatively fast, and
the first brush stroke had dried a little when I ran over with the brush again
to even things out. But it was only Eclipse (the black one) I had that little
problem with, the others went on effortlessly.
The coverage is fine too, two coats is what it takes, and neither of the
coats need an aqua basecoat for underwear. I just used my regular basecoat and
that worked fine. Right then. No more talk, here they are without a topcoat:

The pictures are all taken in direct sunlight, and even though I usually
prefer linear holos to scattered, I love the way these shine!

I put Starburst, the magenta one, on my thumb. The magenta is my
favourite of the bunch, it’s so pretty – also out of the sunlight! Galaxy, the
blue one, comes in second.

When I saw the bottles I thought I wouldn’t like the green – it looked
too pastel for my taste. But seriously: I even like that one on me! Holy Smokes!

And here are the bottles posing in the sunshine:
There’s my Avon holo skittle for you,
girls. I’m impressed with pretty much everything about them. I love the
formula, the drying time and the way they look both in and out of the sun. That
means I can actually also wear them in the winter or when we have less sun
here.
Please tell me what you think of this! I like – but what about you?
Have you maybe even got them yourself?

ReplyDeleteI have been dying to get my hands on some Avons, so no - I haven't tried them yet :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skittle :)
I think you'll like the formula on these ones, if you ever get the chance :) And thank you so much :)
DeleteOh such beauties! I saw this and have been wanting them ever since.
ReplyDeleteI was so lucky to get them in a swap, yay! :)
DeleteI really like Avon's nail polishes and when I saw these, I wasn't very excited about them at the first time, but now when I see your swatches... Oh my, I need to get me some :D :D Gorgeous <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I must admit that I had to check out more than one swatch before I fell in love! But I'm *so* happy that I got them <3
Deletewow they're really pretty! i like silver more. and the blue has a pretty base color :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you like them :)
DeleteGrrr why doesn't Avon bring them to Turkey???? They are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that you can't get your hands on these, when you can get other Avons. How annoying is that! :)
DeleteAre you trying to oust me as holo queen??????? HEHEHE-these are awesome!
ReplyDeleteDude, I'm doing my best! Hahaha!!!
DeleteI actually did grab these for my stash but haven't had a chance to try them yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking so much forward to seeing them on you! :)

ReplyDelete~ Yun
Thank you - I really wish I had more fingers though! :D
DeleteI like all of them! Sad, that we didn't have this collection in my country :/
ReplyDeleteThat's so weird! Why do they only bring some of the collection, I don't understand that :)
