HITS Demeter

HITS Demeter
Demeter is part of the HITS No Olimpio collection. Demeter is a gorgeous orange holographic.


The one thing I didn't really care for about Demeter is the opacity of this color, it is quite hard to reach it fully. I recommend putting a base coat color first, such as white, black, orange, or whatever color suites your needs. Other than that, this color is great and unique!

Another thing that was quite difficult was the brush. I am not sure if I just got a defective brush or what but they are really oddly shaped.


As you can see, the brush is slanted but uneven as well.

HITS are $10 for 6mL each.
You can purchase HITS from Leah Ann, the US Stockist, over at her online shop Llarowe.

Ludurana Aurora Boreal Esplendido

Esplendido
Esplendido is from the Aurora Boreal collection through Ludurana. Esplendido is a gorgeous silver holographic nail polish. The holographic effect is a mix between linear and scattered.




The application was great on this and drying time was normal. If you want full coverage for this you will need about 3 coats. You can also use this as a holographic top coat by applying one coat to the top of any nail polish color.

You can purchase this nail polish for $14 USD through Leah Ann the US Stockist at Llarowe.

Introducing.....

Maravilhosa
Maravilhosa is part of the Aurora Boreal collection through Ludurana. Maravilhosa is a gorgeous light pink holographic nail polish.




The application for this was fairly well, it is a little sheer so more than two coats are needed. The bottle shape is very unique and unlike any other I have seen before. If you purchase from the Llarowe website they are $14 USD for 8mL.
You can purchase this, among other colors from Leah Ann the US Stockist at Llarowe.

Day 28 of Untrieds: OPI DS Shimmer


Day 28 of 30 Days of Untrieds
OPI DS Shimmer
OPI DS Shimmer is a gorgeous holo. I used Shimmer over the OPI Here Today..Aragon Tomorrow. I wanted to try and create something that was similar to Glitter Gal Lizard Belly. This ended up being much more holo, and I was super mad that the sun didn't show today!!

Day 27 of Untrieds: OPI Here Today..Aragon Tomorrow

Day 27 of 30 Days of Untrieds
OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow
HT..AT is a gorgeous dark green that I received in a swap recently. I really love deep dark colors and have been looking for a great green, well this is it! The only thing I did not care for was how streaky it applied. Unfortunately the sun was not present so I wasn't able to take very good pictures showing the gorgeousness of this nail polish!

Day 26 of Untrieds: HITS Afrodite

Day 26 of 30 Days of Untrieds
HITS Afrodite
HITS Afrodite is a gorgeous pink salmon coral from the HITS No Olimpo collection. You can purchase HITS from the US stockist Leah Ann on her Llarowe shop, which I highly recommend taking a peek.

HITS Afrodite was very easy to apply. Here I did three coats, but you really only need two. 
What I really love about these, is that you don't even need a top coat, they dry with a super shine!
The only difference with these holos than any other, is that they do take longer to dry than most are used to. Other than that, this is gorgeous!

To get your very own HITS, go check out Llarowe! You won't regret it!

These were provided to me by Leah Ann from Llarowe for review.
