Green Season with holos

I have a lot of green holos now, and it seems that no two are exactly the same! 

Urban Outfitters Green Holo, a stunning rainbow over pale sage green:


Piper Polish Lime Green Dream, a subtle scattered holo over an icy jade green:


Enkelini, The Grass is Greener, a bright grass green with linear holo:


Above The Curve It's Because I'm Green, Isn't it, a forest green with a subtle linear holo:


Piper Polish Peace, Love & Rainbows, a darker forest, mossy green with a stronger linear rainbow.


 All together now, in the same order as above, from thumb to pinkie.  (UO, Piper LGD, Enkelini TGIG, ATC, and Piper PL&R)


Even indoors, you can see some strong linear rainbows, and some deep colors.


I decided to do some reverse art by leaving the holo and painting a shape around it in black.  I used China Glaze Angel Wings as a gold holo detail.  I like the ornament the best.


I also did a little striping nail art.  This is all 5 colors striped next to each other on each nail.  I really liked this, and it just took a striping brush, and a somewhat steady hand.



Are you celebrating the season with holos?

Deck the Halls, and the nails!

Right-hand realness today!

Look at that shine!  Mentality Euphoria, from their Brilliant collection.  I love their holos.  I wanted to use this as a base for a wreath design inspired by Flaunt Me.


I knew I'd need a little help getting that half-moon shape of the wreath, so I used hole reinforcements over the DRY polish.  I also like to stick the reinforcements to my skin first to take some of the stickiness out.


I painted on a dark green holo called Peace, Love, and Polish by Piper Polish, and then dotted in Enkelini The Grass is Greener, a bright green holo.


Using the same dotting tool, I used China Glaze Adventure Red-Y for the holly berries in the wreath.


For a finishing touch, I mixed Adventure Red-Y with China Glaze Call of the Wild to make a maroon-ish color for the bow.



Are you decking your nails this holiday season?
