Good evening, everyone! I've got a Try It On Tuesday post ready to go for you guys. I know, I know it's only Monday, but I'm early for once so I'm gonna ride the wave lol I'm also rolling in a Born Pretty Store review here, cuz I like to multi-task. Hope you guys don't mind! By the way, if you're interested in joining the TIOT crew, all the how-to can be found on Sassy Paints Facebook page.
So today, I've got BPS's Hologram Effect #10 (plus a bit of nail art) to share with you all. I'm sure many of you have seen a few swatches of BPS's holographic polish and know how pretty they are. I knew I had to give at least one a try!
And isn't it a stunner?! #10 (because they really don't have a "name" name for these) is a bright turquoise with a mid to strong linear holographic effect. The holo will, of course, be most prominent in sunlight, but it actually picks up indoor light quite well.
The color is pretty darn spectacular, no? The formula is great as well. I'm wearing 3 coats in these photos but would have been fine with 2. You know me, I like to over-do it :) I'm wearing a coat of Seche Vite in these pics as well and I didn't notice any holo dulling with it at all. #10 is gorgeous all around!
As stated above, I like to over-do things, so I wanted to spice up #10 a bit. Using the chevron tape technique I showed you guys a few posts ago, I added some patterns on my index and ring fingers with butter London's Trustafarian, a light green polish with a more subtle holo effect.
*Polish provided by Born Pretty Store for honest review*
Born Pretty Store's Hologram Effect #10 retails for $5.59 for a 6ml bottle. This is the only slightly disappointing thing about this polish. 6ml is pretty small. The average full size bottle of polish is more like 15ml, so this is about half of that. I don't have an issue with it, as I never seem to wear any single polish enough to run out, but if you're not a crazy stash-er like me, it might be a point to consider when purchasing. I can say that you'll find very little else to be disappointed with #10. She's lovely, applies well and BPS's shipping usually takes less time than estimated.

Has anyone else tried any of Born Pretty Store's holo polishes? What did you think?
Thanks so much for reading!
Gorgeous blue - and don't worry. I posted TIOT a day early too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz! Sometimes you just gotta get things done early...having back to back challenge days is...well...challenging! lol
DeleteI love it!! This is a look I need to try! I have to get some of them nifty scissors though! :)
ReplyDeleteThose scissors were my Mom's and I'm pretty sure they're older than me! I think craft scissors would work fairly well also. You'll have to let me know when you try it out! Thanks, Gini!
