special post, HOLO DAY/I can't believe I'm wearing this...

Hello all! I am going to interrupt my nail art challenge for one day and show you all the thing I fear the most... HOLOGRAPHIC NAIL POLISH! haha If you have followed my blog this past year, and/or are in my groups or friends on facebook then you know that I do NOT like holographic nail polish. Flakies and jellies are MUCH more my thing. A list of ladies from my one group decided to put together a joint HOLO day, and I decided to join in and show off some non-linear holos and show some scattered glittery holo bits! In this post you can see all who participated in HOLO DAY and check out their blogs to see what they did also :)

So since I dared to be a bit different than what I am guessing he other HOLO DAY posts will show, I wanted to do a big ol' holographic different colored glitter bomb of a mani!

I started out with 2 base coats of a specialty franken/handmade polish from See Sarah Swatch, Deep In The Meadow. It is an Irish green jelly base with loads of fine to extra large sized and different shades of green holographic glitter. It was extremely easy to apply and even the extra large glitter bits (which are usually very hard to fish out of the bottle) were popping up often on the brush! I decided to add a stripe of holographic silver stars on each nail, to get that I used KleanColor - Silver Star (a clear base packed with small round holographic glitter and larger holographic star shaped glitter. These stars were a bit hard to fish out.), then a stripe over that of OPI - Servin' Up Sparkle (a clear base with fine small and larger holographic round glitter, very similar to China Glaze - Shooting Stars which has irridescent and holographic larger glitter bits but also a jam packed superfine holo glittery clear base). It just looked like it was missing something so I added a little accent bow on my ring finger with OPI - Teenage dream (a soft sheer pink jelly base PACKED with baby pink holographic glitter and superfine baby pink shimmery glitter)

Next SIX(6) pictures are in direct and indirect sunlight and some are slightly blurred to show off the holo bits. These are also just Deep In The Meadow by itself, 2 coats!







This next set of pictures is the finished mani with all 4 polish shown...




HAPPY HOLO DAY FRIENDS!
