Sleepy Black Holo Manicure

If you look at this manicure and think "Hmmm.. not my favorite" just know I am right with you on that.

I hated taking off the "Lunch at Tiffany's" manicure I did, because it has been my favorite so far. But I needed to do something new and have some fun. I really love the Holo's and how they look in the bottle. I rarely do dark nails. I have dark colors, but I really lean to the bright and sparkly. So I decided to try something different.

For this manicure I used : 

Jordana #089 Black as a Base Color - 1 Coat
Kleancolor #236 Chunky Holo Black as Sparkle Overlay - 2 Coats
Kleancolor #7 Silver Pearl for the Stamp - 1 Swipe
Jordana #408 Quick Dry Top Coat - Top Coat - 2 Coats.

The Holo Polishes are fun! The Chunky Holo Black has larger specks in it than the others I have. The primary color of the Holo pieces are Amber and Gold I would say. It really is a fun and funky effect.  However I found this polish takes awhile to dry and is gel like. Still goes on well though.

So here are a few pictures of this one. Like I said... I am not a fan. I think my main issue is the stamp, I think this manicure would have looked much better without it. Hopefully I was able to give you a good idea of how the Black Holo looks on a Black Base. It is pretty cool.

If you click on the images and look at them bigger you can see more effect I think.






That's it for this Manicure. It will be coming off later this evening.. because I got some cotton balls. :)  Yay!!!
