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!

Holo Hump Day!

Today is another group mani day! Apparently Wednesday is also called Hump day because it's the middle of the week (I didnt know that).. LOL.. So today we have Holo Hump Day!

Obviously.. if you have not noticed, today we are supposed to do holo nails! I really love Holo polishes (who doesnt?) but it's a real pity that they're always so expensive! :( Please make holo polishes more affordable! I need more of them in my life!

I chose Nfu oh #66 today, one of my un-used, and it's simply gorgeous! It's so holo that it's even visible indoors! Mad Love! One thing to note though.. Aqua Base! Very very important! I have them, but forgot to use it when I was applying the holo polish and gosh! So many bald spots! It's a total nightmare!

I used 2 coats of Seche Vite here due to the stamping (Konad plate m83 with Color Club Revvvolution), so the holo-ness is already significantly dimmed.. Is there any top coat that doesn't dim the effects of Holo polishes?

Striping Tape Mani

Did a striping tape manicure using Color Club Revvolution over my previous mani - Model's own Indian Ocean - and I must say it looks FABULOUS! I love it!

Indian Ocean on it's own look mostly pale blue but under these thin stripes, it's this pinkish-purple sunset colour majority of the time! Pretty pretty!

I'm in love with this mani and the idea of using Striping tapes for tape mani. Thanks to the genius whoever she is for coming up with this fantastic idea!
