Spotted Holos

 I recently acquired a bottle of OPI Black Spotted. I debated for some time what to use it with and I thought wouldn't this look cool over a holo or 3.
I have used 3 coats each of Layla Ocean Rush(blue),Ultra Violet (purple), and Coral Glam with 1 Coat OPI Black Spotted over top.

Yeah, not so much right? I think this is one of those things that sounded great in my head but didn't work out in person. Also, OPI black spotted was so watery it flooded my cuticles and it was so hard to clean up. As is obvious because it looks like I made no attempt to clean here, but I assure you I did. When I went to take it off I found my normal polish remover pads wouldn't remove it and I ended up having to use pure Acetone to get it off.


I do wish the effect was more consistant I may try to play with it a bit more but I'll try to watch for the flooding.

Blue Owl

My sister loves owls and she loves the color blue so I decided to do some nails for her :).
This is 2 coats of Golden a Rose Matte Velvet 101 and 103(Accent), these are really one coaters I just had to see if another coat would make a difference. They aren't really matte they are sort of a suede with lots of shimmer and in between matte and shine. I stamped with Konad pastel blue I don't recall the plate I used, I know shame on me I should really write these things down.  The next day I got in Lalya Ocean Rush from a swap and decided to shine up my non accent nails with a bit of holographic, 2 coats over the existing 101.
























I really liked how the stamp came out the placement could be better but the stamping itself was really good. I wasn't impressed with Layla in the bottle but on the nails it is beautiful.
