Jessica - Hologram Chic

Hello & Happy New Year to you all!

Today I've got a quick post that includes a contender for my NYE mani...Jessica Hologram Chic.

I think silver holo would be a perfect mani to ring in the new year with! The above pic is two coats with no topcoat. I love the formula on this, it goes on super smooth & is opaque in 2 easy coats. Plus the holo effect is nice & strong!

I hope everyone has a safe & happy New Year's Eve! There will be much more KYNGF content coming up here in 2013, so be sure to come back!

Julep - Harper

As I mentioned before, I cancelled my Julep Maven membership to sign up for SquareHue instead. That means that the December box was my last & today I have one of the December It Girl polishes for you - Harper!

Julep's website describes Harper as a "full-coverage opalescent mermaid blue multi-dimensional glitter" & I'd say that sounds about right. This aqua jelly polish is packed full of iridescent glitter! 

The photos below are 2 coats of Harper with 2 coats of Duri Miracote topcoat.

As you might be able to see, after 2 coats there is still some very slight VNL but it's much more obvious in the photos than it is in real life. The formula on this one was very thick. By the end of the manicure the polish was completely gooped up around the bottle opening. Adding some thinner would help Harper out a lot, I'm sure.

Despite the formula issues, this is a nice, bright, sparkly polish that's great to wear to holiday parties!

Nicole by OPI - Kardashing Through The Snow

Today I have a polish from the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolor Holiday 2012 collection - Kardashing Through The Snow! This polish consists of small, multi-colored glitter in a clear base. The colors that I see are gold, red, blue, green and silver.

This is two coats of Kardashing over Zoya Ginessa with a couple coats of Duri Miracote to make it perfectly smooth. The glitter wasn't too hungry, so two coats of regular top coat did the job! The formula was good, a little on the thick side but not unmanageable and the glitter payoff was great.

In my opinion, NOPI has been hitting it out of the park with some of their polishes lately (Just Busta Mauve, All Is Glam All Is Bright, Kardashing, to name a few). I'm pretty excited for their upcoming collections so keep an eye out for some of those polishes here!

All That Glitters - Eggnog Wasted

I was feeling festive today, so I decided to use my new All That Glitters polish - Eggnog Wasted!

According to the All That Glitters Etsy shop, Eggnog Wasted is a "light cream colored base with gold, red, green, brown and copper glitter." It includes micro glitter, hexes and bar glitter all with great payoff. The formula wasn't too thick (as it can be with these types of polish) and didn't require any fishing for glitter!

The photos below are 2 coats of Eggnog Wasted with Duri Miracote top coat.

A lovely polish with an amusing name, what else could a girl ask for? All That Glitters has some great holiday polishes & I'm hoping to pick up a few more after how great this one was!

Zoya - Blaze

Zoya Blaze

2 coats + Duri Miracote top coat

I cannot get over this color, it's so pretty! Perfect for the holidays & the formula was great. I only picked up Blaze & Aurora from Zoya's holiday collection & they are both beautiful, but this just screams Christmas to me. I'll have to find a good green polish to pair it with for a potential Christmas mani. Look at that holo! Love love love. <3
