Holo-MOLY! Showing the Holo Love ♥

Today is Holo Appreciation Day! (Well actually it's Saturday May 19th but this is my first time using InLinkz so I needed to figure it out.) I, along with several other FAB bloggers are participating in this to show our love for holos. And as you guys know, I DO love a good LINEAR holo!

Since I just got this one recently and hadn't even had a chance to wear it yet, I decided to take this opportunity to wear China Glaze LOL from the OMG Collection 2008!

Answers to a few FAQs: No, I don't use a special base for my holos. Never do. With any of them. No, I haven't found that adding a top coat diminishes the holographic effect. So far I haven't personally had it happen, that is. There are some top coats that I've heard of that might diminish the holo effect, but I don't use them or remember what they are. I mostly use Cult Nails Wicked Fast and Poshe.

I wish I could tell you where you can get this, but all I can say is IF you're able to find it, GRAB IT. There are some other great holos out these days like the Layla holographic polishes and Make Up Store holos, but we qent quite a while between the China Glaze OMG Collection being discontinued and the arrival on the scene of these "new" ones. So the OMGs will still hold a special place in the hearts of true nail polish addicts.

If you enjoyed this post, please take a second to "like" it! Thanks!

China Glaze IDK - From the Spring 2008 OMG Collection

China Glaze IDK

China Glaze IDK is a dusty purple linear holographic polish and I ADORE it. It's the only one of the OMG Collection I've been able to get my grubby paws on, so it's the one I'm wearing today.

I sprained my thumb the other day and didn't change my mani for DAYS! Thankfully I was wearing Nubar Wild at Heart - it's my favorite purple and after several days I barely even had any tip wear. My thumb is better now, which helps immensely for nail polish removal, so I decided to treat myself to a really strong linear holo.

I've left some of the photos with orange hands and some really blurry, just so you can see how awesome and strong the linear holo is in this polish. The first photo, however, is the true color.
