My Chinese New Year Nails!

I went blue this Chinese New Year to match my new dress! :) Do you like it?

For my base color, I used ColorClub Over The Moon, a beautiful ocean blue holographic polish and stamped on the design with Pueen Stamping plate PUEEN49.

I've bought a few new plates recently, including PUEEN plates and CICI & SISI plates. Really loving the designs they have and I can't wait to show more of them in the next few posts! Stay tuned!

For those in Singapore, both the polish & the stamping plate (from Amazon) can be spree-ed from SpreeAlley.wordpress.com!

Christmas Tree On My Nails!

An early Christmas nails! China Glaze This Is Tree-Mendous from the Happy HoliGlaze collection is really the perfect Christmas Tree color! :)

I also stamped some snowflakes on my other fingers with ColorClub What A Drag but it can hardly be seen on my nails.

Swatch: Nabi Holographic Silver

Today I have swatches of Nabi Holographic Silver. This is one of the less exciting ones in the collection.

Nabi Holographic Silver have a rainbow colored holographic flash under light. The holographic effect is soft & subtle.

Very pretty, but I do feel kinda underwhelmed because there are simply too many silver holographic polishes out there and so many of them are much prettier.

Nabi Silver vs ColorClub Worth The Risque

I found a dupe! For the photo above, I had Nabi Holographic Silver on my index & ring fingers, and ColorClub Worth The Risque on my middle & pinkie fingers. Can you tell? haha..

I had to be very careful not to mix the photos up because both polishes are dead on dupes. The formula is totally different though. Nabi Holographic Silver is much more sheer and requires about 3 coats, while you can get away with a careful 1 coat with ColorClub Worth The Risque.

Nabi Silver vs Jade Psicodelica

I also did a quick comparison with Jade Psicodelica. This is my first time using my Jade Psicodelica so I was rather surprised that it's kinda like a foil like holographic polish. Really unique!

Swatch: Nabi Holographic Black

Today I have with me Nabi Holographic Black! Black is really gorgeous, with the most colorful holographic rainbow flash among those already swatched!

Even though it's called Black, I think Nabi Holographic Black is actually closer to being a gun metal grey color. I used 3 thin coats to achieve this color and opacity.

Nabi Holographic Black vs ColorClub Revvvolution

In the picture above, I have ColorClub Revvvolution on my middle finder and pinkie for comparison against Nabi Holographic Black.

I was really surprised to find that both polishes actually have the exact same holographic flash! The only difference between both polishes is that ColorClub Revvvolution is slightly darker in color and is closer to being 'black'.

Nabi Holographic Black vs China Glaze Galactic Gray

I also did a quick comparison with China Glaze Galactic Gray as I remember the polish being described as gun-metal grey. But when placed side by side, CG Galactic Gray actually looked slightly brown instead of grey.

As mentioned in my previous Nabi Holographic post, Nabi Holographics are coarse/grainy type while China Glaze Hologlam are the smooth type.

In all, I'm a little disappointed that Nabi Holographic Black is not 'black' enough, but I'm satisfied with the holographic flash!

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.

China Glaze Digital Dawn - Subtle Stamping

Couldnt get over the CG Electra Magenta that I posted a few days back so I decided to use another polish from the same collection - China Glaze Digital Dawn!

Digital Dawn is a beautiful dusty rose brown colour with subtle holographic effects. It's a little hard to capture the beauty of this polish though.. The holo effect is orange and looked over-exposed rather than holo.

Stamped on some stars with ColorClub Worth The Risque.

Polish Used:
China Glaze Digital Dawn
