Prepare to be amazed, reader! I've got a gorgeous, gorgeous polish from the Queen of Holos (I gave her that title in my head awhile back and nothing I've seen has made me regret it yet!), Tami from The Devil Wears Polish. If you buy only one holo this year...ha! I almost got that out with a straight face! Seriously, how could you only buy one?! But, really, this polish is a must have!
Lady Marmalade is one of Tami's Linear Super Chromes and boy! does she deliver! A shifty purple to fuchsia to gold to copper base packed chock-full of linear holo, LM will stop your heart when she hits the sunlight! A stunner for sure! (I have to apologize for all the exclamation points but there's no other way to get the awesomeness across here)
*sigh* Just look at her! The color is perfect, the holo is eye-melting, and the formula was beautifully smooth and opaque in 3 coats. I topped it with a coat of Seche Vite and you know what? This mani has been on my nails for 3 days and I've done no touch ups. I don't really even have any tip wear, I'm pretty darn impressed!

When LM is available, she retails on The Devil Wears Polish's Storenvy site for $13 for a full size 13.2ml bottle and $6.50 for a mini size 5ml bottle. The full size bottles are currently sold out but the minis are available. I'm sure Tami will be restocking soon. If you don't own any TDWP polishes, you'll want to correct that soon. Her holos are so freaking fabulous, I can't stand it! Plus she's just the super sweetest gal which always makes me feel better about buying something. Be sure to stop by and give her some love on Facebook as well! Thanks so much for reading!

*Warning* The following images may induce heavy breathing, a racing heartbeat, salivation, and the compulsive urge to immediately give all your money to the amazing woman who creates these polishes. Seriously. These beauties are not for the faint of heart! I've been following The Devil Wears Polish on Facebook for a little bit now and finally made the budget work to try out a couple of her creations. I think folks in Canada may have heard my squeals of delight when I opened my package! Tami is the master of the linear holo, people. If her polishes don't make your eyeballs sweat a little bit then there is quite possibly something wrong with you. I will be saving my pennies from now on for these beauties because I must have all the holos!
Ok, now that I'm (mostly) finished gushing...let's get down to the pics!
Up first we have A Nice Chianti (I love her names as well!). ANC is a deep red wine polish with a strong linear holographic effect. I'm not sure I can emphasize enough how fabulous this polish is! The color is perfect for Fall; that plum-y magenta just sings of spiced apple cider, leaves crunching underfoot, and a nip in the air!
Opaque in 2 coats (shown here), ANC was smooth to apply. I did use a coat of Seche Vite on this, but only for durability, as the shine was evident pre-top coat. There was no dulling of the holographic effect with top coat.
*sigh* The macro of this makes me ridiculously happy. All that rainbow-y goodness bouncing everywhere!
If A Nice Chianti doesn't convince you to try The Devil Wears Polish, the second polish I have for you may change your mind.
Holo Be Thy Name...I think we need a moment of silence to truly appreciate this work of art.
Ok, now I'm gonna yammer on about it! Although there are barely words to describe this one. A silvery slate grey, HBTN is so full of linear holographic goodness it makes your nails look 3D! And yes, I realize that your nails are, in fact, already 3D but I hope you know what I mean by that! Those rainbows just jump off the nails and grab your eyes with a death grip...I could not keep my eyes off of my nails the whole time I wore it. Incidentally, if you plan on driving a lot, you might want to steer clear of this one ;)
As with A Nice Chianti, the formula for HBTN was smooth and opaque in 2 coats. I did wear one coat of Seche Vite with this one as well and, obviously, the holographic effect was not dulled at all.
And I missed out on the sunlight for ANC, but I managed to snag one for you guys of HBTN. Holy-mother-of-all-holos, Batman! Please don't wait on this one. You'll regret it forever if you miss out!

Both of these polishes, along with a cadre of others, are currently available on The Devil Wears Polish's Storenvy site. Mini bottles retail for $4-5 and full size are $8-11.50. Tami is currently updating her Aspiring Anarchist collection, an LE set of glitter toppers and glitter crellies/jellies inspired by early punk bands, and has indicated that she'll be creating and stocking more holos in the near future. As she's so good at it, I suggest you follow her on Facebook because you won't want to miss any updates!
Thanks so much for reading!
