Focus On Holographic: China Glaze Let's Do It In 3-D

You nail fanatics are already aware of this, I'm sure, but let's start at the beginning properly. China Glaze, once upon a time, came out with two drool-worthy holographic nail polish collections - the OMG collection, which were linear holo nail polishes, and the Kaleidoscope nail polish collection, which were scattered holos. These are now discontinued and have been popping up on Ebay and blog sales for higher prices. I only have a scant few of these precious polishes.
Let's Do It In 3-D was from the scattered holo collection, Kaleidoscope. This is one of the strongest scattered holos I have, too. It's a stunner! It's a dark charcoal grey base with shimmery holo particles. Because the base is almost jelly, I used three coats here.

In lower light, the charcoal base is more clear - but I had to show this off in super bright light to give you an approximation of the rainbow this has. It's much, much blingier in person, let me assure you. For some reason, the face print on this bottle is just peeling off. Sad. Both the OMG and the Kaleidoscopes are well worth hunting down, if you can nab them at the higher prices please do it. I wish I had nabbed them all before they became as rare as they are now.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Night Lights

Okay, a bunch of photos of this. Well, not a bunch, three. I had a heck of a time capturing this pretty little charcoal scattered holo jelly!
I think I first saw this on Kellie's blog, Also Known As. And I wanted it! I heard rumour that they could be found at Five Below. There's a Five Below in Raleigh, so I scooted in there one night while I was working. That's where I found the Funky Fingers polish too! I'd never seen that in Raleigh before, so I snagged a couple of those as well as the Sally Hansen Night Lights. This particular polish has the white cap, so that means it's an older polish - the newer Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears have a silver cap, of course. This polish is pretty sheer, as a jelly you expect that though. I've shown it here alone, on my index finger, with four coats. I layered it over Essie Licorice for the other three fingers. A little gritty from the glitter, nothing two coats of top coat wouldn't cure though! It's a beauty.

I included that last blurry shot so you can really see the glitter holo sparkle! LOVE this. Glad I was able to snag it and add it to my collection!
