That's Plum-Crazy!

Hello, Fireflies!

I made it to day 2, with an awesome plum holo compilation and comparison to show you!  I love plum.

Hmm.  Another Lilypad Lacquer?  Yep! This is Velveteen.

I do so hope it's named for the Velveteen Rabbit, which is one of my fave stories.  Also, why I may still have one or two of my fave, well-loved stuffed animals from my childhood.  This polish is also going to be well-loved in my collection.  Great application, lovely holo, perfect plum.

Girly Bits What Happens in Vegas...Ends Up On Facebook was an LE made for a convention, and then released to the general populace for a few mins before it sold out.

This is a lighter plum base with lots of holo.  Girly Bits was one of the first Indie Polish makers, and she's still got it.

Of all the Enchanted Polish Calendar polishes, I think February 2013 had the widest distribution.  I was very happy to get one because I love purple, and February is my birth month.  Go, Aquarians!

This one has a green duochrome effect that I couldn't capture well, but you can kinda see it a little in this pix, along the tips. 

Lastly, I want to show you this beauty, Euphoria, from Superchic Lacquer (WonderBeauty Products).  It comes the closest to the dark plum base of February 2013, but doesn't have the green shift.

I love this type of deep, rich plum holo. 

Here's the bottle shot:  Lilypad Lacquer Velveteen, Girly Bits What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Facebook, Enchanted Polish February 2013, and SuperChic Lacquer Euphoria.

No dupes here!  Velveteen seems to be lighter on the nail than in the bottle, and the Girly Bits does, too.  February almost seems darker on the nail than in the bottle.

Are you plum-crazy for plum holos?  Which is your fave, even if I don't have it here?

I got the blues, the shiny, dotty blues..

I've got the blues... but they're definitely the good kind!

First up, a simple design I did to hang out with the Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida.  I was running late so I needed something that was only one or two steps, and that I could do on both hands.

OPI What's With The Cattitude.  A coveted shade of baby blue, this was part of the Shrek collex.  I needed to be a little more careful in my application, but I told ya, I was late.  I'm often late.  When you are running late, do not choose a pastel polish, for it will screw with your mani. Pastels are finicky buggers.

Look, ma, both hands! And one of my fave rings, too.  The dots were made with Essence Let's Get Lost.

If you follow Sinful Colors, you may know that they came out with a line of polishes with a gel-like finish, but a polish-like application.  Shine with no curing?  I'll bite.

I do believe it's shiny.  I wish it dried faster, though, as you can see the little dent on my pinkie.  If you're wondering about the holo...

SuperChic Lacquer (aka Wonder Beauty) Rive Gauche.  Very linear light blue holo, with a bit of iridescence.  I may have bought this because a) it's a holo b) it has a cool bottle.

I thought it would look nice as a gradient, but I think that's a fail, folks.  I like it much better by itself.  Not a team player.

If you'd like more information about Wonder Beauty Products/SuperChic Lacquer, you can find them on Facebook, or her Etsy shop.

So, what blues are for you?  Dots? Holo?  Gradient?
