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.
