Holo If You Hear Me

After seeing so many flawless swatches of the Laylo Holographic Effects polishes, I knew I had to get my hands on them.  So after a little bit of time in my financial prayer closet, I pulled the trigger and purchased Mercury Twilight, Flash Black, Mermaid Spell and Ultra Violet through Zappos.com.

I began brainstorming how best to let the holographic goodness overwhelm my friends and neighbors and knew I wanted to do some kind of "reveal".  Not an entire manicure of it, god no.  The bottles are tiny, one, and I don't want to cause traffic accidents from seared corneas, two.

A cursory glance told me to use Ultra Violet first, and tape off some bits over a dark purple.  So off to the Melmer I went, and grabbed the first purple that shouted up to me.

Let's not talk about the edges, okay?  Plzthxbye.

It's not enough to tell you that the holo sparkles; it RADIATES.  Even with my crap camera I was able to capture some of the rainbow effect, and this is in window light.  In full sun, this baby is a diamond, and I am completely in love.

I'll be using and re-using this polish collection over the coming days, including an idea for a Halloween manicure which I have to try and will likely push on you way before the 31st.
