Swatch: Nabi Holographic Dark Purple

I just got a bunch of Nabi holographic polishes which I would be swatching over the next few posts!

First up, is Nabi holographic polish - Dark Purple.

The actual colour is a little less blue & more red in real life, forming a beautiful linear rainbow with blue flash under light.

I didn't manage to capture the holo well on film though.

When I was doing the swatch, I found myself asking how similar it is to some of the other purple holos I have so I decided to do some quick comparison!

Nabi Holographic Dark Purple vs A England Lady Of The Lake

A England Lady Of The Lake is obviously much darker and much less holo. In fact I was really surprised at how dark Lady Of The Lake is when comparing both polishes side by side.

Nabi Holographic Dark Purple vs ColorClub Wild At Heart

ColorClub Wild At Heart is one of ColorClub's older Holos and the holo effect is significantly weaker than the famous Halo Hues. 

I think Nabi Dark Purple also won this round in terms of holo-ness. However, it doesnt seem very dark considering that it's name is 'Dark' Purple.

For my Singapore readers, Nabi holographic polishes will be available at PolishAlley very soon.

A England Saint George

I have A England Saint George on today!

Saint George is a deep dark green/teal holographic polish and it's really absolutely gorgeous! Actual colour in real life is slightly more green than shown in the picture.

I added some holographic silver stripping tape for a french tips effect & I totally love how it turned out! It looks so classy and with so much personality. <3

What do you think?

A-England Lady In The Lake

Today I have A-England Lady In The Lake on my nails!

Lady In The Lake is a deep purple holographic polish that is simply simply gorgeous! A-England holo polishes are quite interesting, they all seems to be scattered holos, yet there is a faint and very obvious line of rainbow under the sunlight.

I also finally tried stamping with the french tip plates! I have lots of them but never tried them as I though they're weird and too thick.. My nails are fairly short so there's no way I can stamp in the whole image and it'll still be tips.

So anyway.. this is it! I stamped with BM plate BM-216, the design that looked like a peacock tail.. I only stamped part of the image so it wouldnt be too big on my nails.. What do you think? :)

Princess Tears

Today on my nails I have Princess Tears from A England! I got some of the A England Holographics awhile back from my colleagues for my birthday and this is the first time I'm using them!

Princess Tears is a silvery lilac holographic polish from A England's The Legend collection. Initially I thought the A England holographic polishes are all scattered holos, but Princess Tears is actually quite linear! The formula for my bottle is on the thick side and not as easy to apply.. pretty different from what I'm seeing online so I guess it might be just my bottle? :(

I added this really unique lace sticker over my Princess Tears as you know.. I like to spice things up a little, but it ended up looking a little cheap in the photo. I assure you, it looks amazing in real life. Cameras are just irritating at times for picking up too much details.

Hope you like my version of Princess Tears.. A funky Princess with zebra print lace! :)
