China Glaze Kaleidoscope Collection – Warm

Here we have the Kaleidoscope warm polishes. Of course I didn’t like these as much as the cool ones, but there was one that just might be my favorite of them all. Can you guess? The formula on these was just as great as the cool ones. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

So in case you didn’t guess, this is the one that might be my favorite. What’s weird is to me this seems like a cool color because it’s an icy looking grey, I just don’t see the “warm” here. Either way it’s fabulous!

Uslu Airlines Nail Polish

Afternoon peeps! So I just found out from Nylon Magazine that Uslu Airlines has a new series of “club-infused” nail polishes which were inspired and created by four world-class DJ’s. They look pretty cool from what I can see in the promo pics which you can find here and they will be on sale some time later this month here. The colors are a glow in the dark green, lilac, light sky blue and metallic silver.

China Glaze Kaleidoscope Collection – Cool

I am so glad I got all of these because they are being discontinued soon and they are SO worth owning. If you love a holo, then you will love these. They are the most holographic polishes I have come across. The application on all of these was fabulous with no problems. Because I like the base to be very pigmented, I did three coats for all. Today I’ll show you the cool colors and later on the warm ones. All pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Sexagon is a silver based holo with LOTS of small particles of holographic glitter. You can see the “rainbow” effect in the pic, so cool!

MAC Varicose Violet

The name may be questionable, but the color is outstanding. Varicose Violet from MAC’s recently released Dame Edna collection is exactly what I was hoping it would be. Pic taken in sun with no top coat.

Even though it’s sheer and needed three good coats, this color rocks. It’s a really flattering violet/pink that flashes blue depending on the lighting. It’s definitely one of those super cool toned colors, so it might not work for those with darker or tanned skin tones. I love it on me though and I don’t have anything like it so yahoo!

Vamp it up!

Dashing Diva Holiday 2008

No we have not gone back in time. I just received these since I believe they were sold out on their site for awhile. These are from Dashing Diva’s Holiday 2008 collection. Swatches in sun with no top coat.

I wish that you could really see how cool this one is. The chunks of glitter in this are different sizes and shapes and it is way more “chunkier” than your average silver glitter polish. I could just not get the pics to show this. This is three coats here.
