ludurana supernova - onda de luz

this collection is available at llarowe.  i haven't seen holos that are this strong like ever.  this is 2 coats of onda over 1 coat of cult nails - nevermore, 1 coat of seche vite over the top.

all of these photos are with flash, but it does glow like crazy in lower light as well.  the holo was not as strong under the shitty lights we have at work.

i'm also uploading a video of this.  i'll probably start doing these for holo polishes.  this was taken on my itouch with the light on.

nail nation 3000 - sock monkey #51

i chose to layer this one just in case it wouldn't cover on it's own.  the base i used was really light and looked more like a french manicure than anything else, i used opi's care to danse? so this one would have been fine with 2 coats by itself.

this is 2 coats of sock monkey with 1 coat of seche vite.    i love how light this is...its been a while since i've worn anything really light and non-holo.  maria's description on her facebook photo for this polish is:

SOCK MONKEYYYY!!!! # 51

A creamy base of sock monkey colors!!! Great layers of awesome sock monkey-ness!!!! Get your sock monkey on !!!

i think next time i won't bother layering it over anything.  still loving it how it turned out though.

llarowe and nail nation 3000 mail

these are a combination of a few orders.  1 was from llarowe's black friday sale, another was the enchanted polish release and the last group is my latest package from nail nation 3000.

i love the new packaging on the enchanted polishes.  the printed, square bottles look so much better than the ones that had the paper labels.

also i'm loving the all silver stickers on the nail  nations.

first up....black friday order from llarowe.  i have to say that all of the other pictures that i've seen online doesn't capture the holo in holo'ween like seeing it in person.  this is one amazing polish.  of course the glitter gals are also amazing, i'm debating on throwing on citrine first.

nail nation 3000 - naughty or nice? #39

this was 2 coats of naughty or nice? and 1 coat of seche vite.  the holo in this one is crazy.

here's the description of the polish from nail nation 3000's facebook:

Naughty or Nice? #39

A triple silver holo with red and holo glitters too spice up any list! Are you naughty or nice?
2012 only color next years version will be very different! ;)

 a lot of the glitter stuck to the side of the bottle on this one, it's from when it shipped.  going to have to keep shaking it and hope it mixes back with the polish.

i love the color change on my thumb in this first photo.

straight flash...speckles are the red glitter

nail nation 3000 - fierce #5

this is 1 coat of fierce #5 over cult nails - nevermore and 1  coat of seche vite.

i received a mini bottle of this with my first purchase of nail nation 3000 polishes.  it's really pretty in person, like her other polishes it does change depending on the lighting, some of the purple isn't as pronounced  in some light.  my only wish is that it were a darker red.  layering it did seem to darken it a bit, but i love dark, dark reds.


blah, looks like i missed some black near my cuticles with cleanup.  oh well, it happens ;)

nail nation 3000 - daddy's girl #180

so, this one is in honor of leah ann's mother.  she posted on facebook that her mother passed a year ago today and that pink was her favorite color.  it's also mine, though i haven't posted pink manicures on the blog.   i thought this would be a good reason to pick a pink polish to wear today.

this is daddy's girl #180 by nails nation 3000.  1 coat of seche vite was used, no clean up done.  her polishes apply perfectly.  this isn't a super strong holo, like kizmit, however it is still gorgeous.

llarowe will soon be carrying nail nation 3000, mine were purchased through the facebook page.

nail nation 3000 - shine on me 23k #100

for my base on this i used 2 coats of opi - every month is oktoberfest.

1 coat of shine on me with a coat of gelous and a coat of seche vite.  no application issues at all with this one. 

this gold top coat is so pretty.  i almost wish now that i would have passed on the opi one from the skyfall collection.  this one has tiny glitter in it, where the opi one doesn't.

i love how this turned out.  didn't clean it up yet, i just want to get to sleep after the huge dinner we had at my parents' tonight.
