essence - Hello Holo

I recently saw swatches of the essence Special Effect Topper called Hello Holo on another blog and was really stunned that I had missed this polish. Essence - Hello Holo is a clear polish with loads of tiny holo particles in it. So I went to the city and got myself a bottle. I thought it would be easy to get, but others discovered the beauty too and it was sold out in my favourite stores. I finally found a bottle in my local Douglas store.

I didn't have much time that evening to do an elaborate manicure. I just put on two coats of a white MNY polish and then added Hello Holo. I got that white MNY polish a little while ago, when I was looking for different white polish shades, because I was not satisfied with my white p2 polish ("virgin"). It turned out to be okay, but it was still not the kind of white shade I'm looking for.

Hello Holo applied well, but it was a little bit difficult to spread the glitter particles evenly. You can tell by the pictures, I think. It dried quickly though. I topped it with my beloved essence - Better than Gel Nails Top Sealer, because the surface of my nails was rough... glitter polish after all.

It looked soooo pretty. I felt like having a disco ball on my nails. I thought about adding something to it after about 2 days, but didn't. There was tip wear, but it wasn't too noticeable. I think I wore this for about a week. It looked nice with the white underneath, but I think I want to use some other colors next time.

I like Hello Holo, but I still need to get Flormar 392... which is also a holo polish, but the glitter is super tiny in this one. :)
