Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing
today? I hope you are having a great week so far? I'm going to be
really honest here and say that half of the polishes I see online go
on my wish list. If I could afford to I would so easily splurge on
holographic polishes from so many companies. You can't imagine how
long it is and how many brands are on that list, that's why I never
made an actual list... it would unravel like a wizards scroll.
Now the most obvious
solution would be to go buy myself a lovely little holo topper but I
can't even stretch to that... so when I saw this foil I completely
fell in love because its giving me exactly what I want for a fraction
of the cost. Of course its not the same, wont last or wear the same
as polish and well...its just not a ILNP/Cupcake/Starrily (You get
the idea) but it still looks beautiful and satisfies my
holo-needs for a while! This is Holographic Starry/Glitter Foils in 132 from The Born Pretty Store.
I'd just like to put it
out there that I'm really not a pro at photographing holographic
polishes, or holographic... anything. I took these photo's using the
flash. I hope that the pictures still look ok.
This
beautiful foil comes in a clear plastic container and contains
approximately 1 metre in length meaning you get more than enough to
have fun times with. The foil itself appears as a clear plastic with
holo dotted all the way through it. It is really very delicate
looking. Like a fairies handkerchief....huh?
I
was really happy with the way these foils applied however my little
glue before top coat did not work on these foils and they instantly
became cloudy and weird so I used just a clear polish to seal the
foils. I also had to have a piece of tester glue to discover which
side the holo was on – it was nearly impossible to tell just be
looking which side the foil was on but that's not such a problem.
I
personally really love this foil. I also wore it with a navy blue
however I wasn't able to get pics in the time I had them on. I think
the holo looks really pretty. Its not the same as a holo polish but
its not a bad substitute, I think this would be going for speedy
manicures, something jazzy that doesn't require too much time.
I've
got a few more foils to keep me busy; I will be making a foil video
in the very near future!
What
do you think of this foil? Do you like to wear foils?
Have
a gorgeous day, you gorgeous person, you! I'll see you on Friday!
Love

Wow...What a great idea to satisfy that holy holo need! I too love holo polishes but as you said the cost of all those devine beauties are beyond my reach, but you came out with a brilliant idea! Loooveee it! <3
ReplyDeleteAs a holo maniac I cannot say no to anything holo, and my stash is 60% filled with holo polishes XD What I like about this foil is that you get a glittery look with no glitters at all. It's definitely a plus to me, since I hate glitters!
ReplyDeleteLove that Barry M you used as a base!
I think it looks great... Maybe not as stunning as some indie holos you mentioned but more versatile since you can play with it over different bases. :) I've only used foils once before and they unfortunately got wrinkly when I applied top coat :(
ReplyDeletebeautiful holo indeed. I am a sucker for holo polishes
