Different Dimension ~ July 2018


Different Dimension ~ July 2018
Ruby red linear holo

“July 2018” was the polish of the month in July 2018 :D

The formula is really good and I used two coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good.

The design I used is from the stamping plate “ZJOY-plus006”. I stamped with El Corazón’s stamping polish “Peach Echo”.

Here’s the final result in the sun.

And this is “July 2018” alone; two coats and no topcoat.

I also tried to take some photos in the lightbox to show you that this polish isn’t a true red, it’s definitely leaning magenta. My pictures didn’t turn out any good at all so you’ll just have to take my word for it when I’m telling you that it’s absolutely gorgeous anyway :D

Here’s the stuff I used.


“July 2018” was limited edition and is no longer available.


Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good
Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Good formula, sweet colour and nice rainbows. Cool polish.
Buy again: Yes

KBShimmer ~ Shoe The Blues Away


KBShimmer ~ Shoe The Blues Away
Cobalt blue linear holo

“Shoe the Blues Away” is a HHC Facebook custom from February 2017. It’s a gorgeous cobalt blue strong linear holo; I just love it.

The formula is good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good.

This colour always makes me end up with very wintery manicures. It’s as if this shade of blue just calls for snowflakes :D So snowflakes it is!

I used some white and pink snowflake/snowman stickers and dapped a bit of pink/blue glitter here and there. I used Sally Hansen’s “Rockstar Pink” for that.

I am very pleased with the result. Here it is in daylight.

This is also a daylight picture without direct sunshine. Look at those rainbows shining!

This is “Shoe the Blues Away” alone; two coats and no topcoat. It’s still just daylight and no sun or flash.

OPI Infinite Shine ~ My Private Jet


OPI Infinite Shine ~ My Private Jet
Brown linear holo

OPI describes “My Private Jet” like this: “Luxurious deep black with glints of glamour”. To me it’s definitely brown, and those ”glints of glamour” are definitely a holo effect.

The formula is good. I used two easy and fast drying coats for full opacity.

I stuck a butterfly on my ring finger nail and made some dots on the remaining nails. The butterfly is golden and the dots are made in copper. I used Barry M’s “Copper Mine” for the dots.

Here’s my final manicure photographed with flash.

This is “My Private Jet” alone; two coats and no topcoat. The photo is taken in daylight, no direct sun. I definitely see it as brown.

Here’s the same thing photographed with flash. There are way more rainbows in the bottle than on the nails but I’m still impressed.

Here are the polishes I used today. The grey is Artiste Colour Revolution’s “Under the Overalls”, and I used that for a single dot on each nail.


I’m usually not crazy about browns but I must admit that I like this one.



Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good
Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Good formula and pretty rainbows. I wish more of them were on the nails :D
