Jade Mystic Gold over Black + Stamping

Hi everyone! I received Jade Mystic Gold agessss ago as a gift and at the time I remember seeing a swatch of it over black that took my breath away. I had grand intentions of doing it then, but I totally forgot about it and it crossed my mind again yesterday. I remember a specific Bundle Monster plate (201) that I had used back during Christmas last year that I wanted to stamp over it with and I ADORED the result. So this is 1 coat of Jade Mystic Gold over black stamped with black using Bundle Monster plate 201. I think it looks so regal and elegant!

You can purchase Jade holographic polishes from Llarowe and Ninja Polish. Thanks for looking everyone!

Darling Diva Polish RuPaul Collection

Hi everyone! Today I have Darling Diva Polish's RuPaul Collection (most of them, I do not have Never Give Up which is a yellow jelly with glass flecks and I've already shown Cover Girl here). This collection is a rainbow of gorgeousness and I love that the holographic polishes all contain something extra to make them unique. Formula was great on all of these polishes and required 2 coats (except RuPaulogize which I used 3 coats since it has a jelly base).

Sashay Away is a gorgeous green holographic polish with a blue shimmer throughout. This polish has a little bit of a different holographic effect than the other holos in this collection and it is one of my absolute favorites. I adore the color and the added blue shimmer is divine.

Raven is a charcoal grey holographic polish with a violet/gold color shifting shimmer throughout. I failed at capturing how amazing the shimmer is in this polish, but in real life it is amazeballs!

Royale is a bright medium blue holographic polish with a subtle violet shimmer throughout. It is just gorgeous! I adore this shade of blue.

RuPaulogize is a juicy orange jelly with golden glassfleck/green glassfleck shimmer. This is one hot polish!

And DON'T Fvck it Up! is a dark purple holographic polish with blue/purple shimmer. It's a must have for purple lovers!

Snatchgame is a medium pink that leans a teensy bit purple (especially when compared to Cover Girl which is a bright HOT pink) and it has some subtle blue sparkles throughout. It's very beautiful and ladylike.

Darling Diva Polishes are now available at creator Carrie's new Big Cartel Shop. For all updates of restocks and new collections, check out Darling Diva's Facebook page. International e-tailers include Llarowe, Edgy Polish, and Mei Mei's Signatures. Thanks for looking everyone!

Dance Legend Android

Hi everyone! Today I have an amazing holo for you from Dance Legend's New Prisms line called Android. It is a blueish green holo with a strong flame, fabulous formula, and it needs no special base or topcoat. I'd say that is pretty much the complete holo package. On to pics! This is 2 coats of Android. I love how vivid the color is, not at all muted like a lot of strong holographic polishes tend to be.

Dance Legend polishes originate from Russia and you can order direct from their website (shipping can take a while I've heard).  They are also available from Llarowe and Ninja Polish (I purchased this one from Ninja Polish). Thanks for looking everyone!. 

Darling Diva Polish Cover Girl

Hi everyone! I was fortunate enough to receive most of Darling Diva Polish's RuPaul Collection in my mailbox thanks to some thoughtful people (Ida and Carrie...you are the best!). This collection contains a rainbow of gorgeous polishes, and I started off wearing Cover Girl.

Cover Girl is a hot pink holo with some violet iridescent microflakes throughout. They were hard to photograph, but just like the rest of Carrie's holographic polishes, they add a little something extra than just a holo flame. She is always adding a little something extra to keep things interesting and I love it! The formula was smooth and lovely with a gorgeous sparkly holographic effect. This is 2 coats of Cover Girl.

Darling Diva Polish is going to be available starting tomorrow from Carrie's new Big Cartel Shop. For links to the shop and details about the opening (and also a look at the out of this world Queen collection that will be available at the opening) check out Darling Diva's Facebook page. In the mean time, the RuPaul collection is also still available at the Darling Diva Polish Etsy Shop. International e-tailers include Llarowe, Edgy Polish, and Mei Mei's Signatures. Thanks for looking everyone!

Ozotic 534

Hi everyone! Here is a gorgeous polish from the (sadly) discontinued Ozotic Mish Mash Collection. Ozotic 534 is a holographic multichrome polish. I chose to layer 2 coats over Essie No More Film to make the multichrome pop. It shifts from purple/blue/pink-red/gold. I remember this was my first Llarowe purchase ever and I thought it was the most amazing polish I had ever seen at the time. The first time I wore it, I wore it for 5 days straight (a record for me!).

As I said, this polish is now discontinued, but there are some similar polishes out there now (I believe that Enchanted Polish Across the Universe is similar, but I don't have that one to compare). 

Enchanted Polish Kids

Hi everyone! I was fortunate enough to snag ONE of the new super holo Enchanted Polish multichromes from the Time to Pretend Collection at their last restock. Kids, I believe, Is a super holo version of Magical Mystery Tour. The multichrome aspect of this polish is similar to Ozotic 505, Hits Mari Moon Cutie Pie, or Sally Hansen Turquoise Opal,with a strong holographic effect added. The colors shift from turquoise/blue/pink/gold. And the best part...no undies required! This is 2 coats, no undies.

Indoor light. The colors are so pretty and shifty!

Sunlight

Shade

Sorry for the excessive amount of pictures...it is just so pretty! Enchanted Polish is available from their Big Cartel shop as well as from Llarowe (although this collection has not come to Llarowe yet). These polishes sell out really fast, so be sure to check out restock times so you can snatch them up when you can! Thanks for looking everyone!

A Few Holo Manis: Layla, Color Club, and LA Girl

First up is Layla Red Taboo. This is one of the newer Layla holos and the color is just gorgeous (though it is a stretch to call it red). The holo flame is nice, but not quite as strong as the older Laylas. I think that the saturated color might have a lot to do with that. This is two coats over Jessica Retro Revival Aqua Base. My Laylas apply like butter over Aqua Base (just wait for the base to dry for about 8-10 minutes first). 

Next is Color Club Cosmic Fate from the 2013 Halo Hues release. This is an orangey/coppery holo that I absolutely adore. I normally wouldn't go for colors like this, but it is so flattering and gorgeous. Like the other Color Club holos, this one has an excellent formula and a special base is not required for easy application. For those of you who can't find these in brick and mortar stores, Llarowe is now carrying Color Clubs.

Finally I have one of the new LA Girl 3D Effect scattered holographic polishes. If you haven't picked one of these up, I urge you to seek them out. They are my favorite drugstore find in ages. If you love the Zoya holos from their Ornate Collection or the piCture pOlish scattered holos like Kryptonite and Cosmos, then these will be an excellent cheap thrill for you (although do be aware that the purple, black, and red are dupes for the Zoyas). I picked up Teal Dimension, but I will be going back for more. This is two flawless coats of Teal Dimension. I found these at Rite Aid, but they are available at Cherry Culture as well if you can't find them in your area. 

Thanks for looking everyone!

Some New Darling Diva Polish Swatches

I recently received a few of Darling Diva Polish's newer polishes to review, so I have them here for you today. Creator Carrie has a really broad range of polishes to choose from including glitter topcoats, jelly glitters, holographic polishes, and some holographic and color shifting topcoats, so there is something for everyone in her shop. 

Call the Doctor. This is a glitter topcoat filled with fuchsia, pink, black, and white circle glitters in different sizes. The larger fuchsia glitters are also holo. There is also fine iridescent glitter in the base as well. this is 1 dabbed coat over Illamasqua Stance. The dabbing was mainly to place the larger circle glitters how I wanted them.

Thunderstruck. This is part of the Back in Black collection and it is black jelly polish with different sizes of holographic silver glitter. This jelly base is formulated very well and goes on smoothly. This swatch is 3 thin(ish) coats. 

TNT. This is another polish from the Back in Black collection and it is a black jelly polish with fine red-green color shifting glitter. It is a very glowy and wonderful. The formula on this one is also very nice and was good with 2 coats. 

Polish Junkie. This is one of 3 new holographic/color shifting topcoats that are available. This polishes have a complex holographic base (creator Carrie uses several grades of holographic pigment) and it shifts from a seafoam green to a soft turquoise. The shift is hard to capture on camera, but you can see it somewhat in my pictures. I used 2 coats over black for these swatches. 

Cray Cray. This polish is another holographic/color shifting topcoat. It has a finer texture than Polish Junkie and it has a gorgeous violet/blue flash. I used 1 coat over black for these swatches. The color shift is stronger in this polish than in Polish Junkie and it is MUCH more apparent in real life than pictures show. 

I also wore Cray Cray at one thin coat over Revlon Royal. I really loved it layered over blue.

Darling Diva Polish is available at creator Carrie's Etsy Shop as well as at Llarowe. Thanks for looking everyone!
