Nabi Hologram ~ 15 Dark Purple

Nabi Hologram ~ 15 Dark Purple

Purple linear holo

This Nabi holo is the first Nabi that has caused me problems. I wore my aqua basecoat, like I know its sisters have liked, but that didn’t help against the dreaded dragging at all. I had to apply the polish with the lightest touch, and even though it was opaque after the second coat, I had to add a third to cover up all the irregularities. Fortunately it dries pretty fast, so it’s not that much of a big deal, but I must admit that I find it weird. You would think that they’d all act the same, right?

But anyway – it’s a pretty polish. Check it out - three coats, no topcoat:

The rainbows almost look as if they come from within the polish, I really like that.

The polish looks darker from certain angles too. I like this shot where it flashes purple, pink and blue.

 I stamped on it. Surprise!! I used stamping plate Apipila 01 and a no name white stamping polish. I chose a different design for each nail. I know Nabi holos are bleeders (that just never sounds right, does it?), so I didn’t apply a topcoat, and here’s the final mani: 

I am of course a Hello Kitty fan, as well as fan of both stars and hearts on my nails, so I really like these five designs together.

I think I’ll start using single designs more as opposed to all nail designs. This way I get to see more of the original base colour.

Nabi has made some great holos, I like the ones I’ve bought. I am somewhat puzzled that this one out of them all decided to act like a diva despite the aqua basecoat, but since the drying time is so good, I’m willing to forgive that I needed the extra coat to make it nice and smooth. Like I said, it would have been a two coater if it hadn’t been for the dragging of the polish.
