Nfu-Oh, MOVE OVER! Actually, I love Nfu-Oh, but after getting one of the "new batch" of the #61, which was about 10 times gloppier than the previous version and the other colors I have, I was kind of in the market for a new silver holo. Enter Greta. And since my friend was going to grab it in-store for me and send to me from another state, I picked a traveling companion for her. Enter Britta! Thanks so much Ana!!! ♥
You can't order Make Up Store on line, but I hear great things about their in-store customer service, so if you call them, they are more than happy to do a charge-send for you. Which is actually dangerous information for me to have. *sigh*
Today I have Greta and Britta to show you.
Greta is a great silver linear holo with smooth easy application. The brush is a bit stiff, but it didn't cause me any problems at all...just something I noticed. As is my practice with all linear holos, I don't use a special base coat (like Aqua Base for Nfu-Oh) but I DO lay down a light coat of a coordinating color as my base. I started doing this to conserve what was a difficult product to obtain way back then, but notice how well it worked and how much more wear I got out of the linear holo mani. So I still do it.
This is Greta. One coat with a base of Pure Ice Silver Mercedes and no top coat - isn't she lovely?

And then there's Britta. Britta is another great linear holo that is a pinkish, mauve with purple undertones. It reminds me a lot of Sally Hansen Magical Nail Makeup in Mystical Mandarin, which is long discontinued and a bit hard to find.
I used a thin coat of Pure Ice Gossip a base coat and one coat of Britta - no top coat.

Aren't they stunning? The danger with these polishes is that you need to be careful, especially when driving, that you don't stare at your nails too much. Wouldn't want you to have a wreck. Or accidentally walk into a fountain. =)
You already know I am a sucker for linear holos. How do you feel about them? Have you tried these yet?
