Black Dahlia: Holo Petals collection

Press Sample

The Holo Petals collection from Black Dahlia consists of six polishes; three scattered holos and three linear holos. These launched earlier in April for spring and are available now!
Every single one of these polish's formula is phenomenal. A smooth easy to apply formula goes a long way with me, especially when they're nearly opaque in one coat! If I were a bit more heavy handed, I could have gotten away with one, but I wore two coats for all the photos. The glitters and glass flecks in these really add dimension and make them unique. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Magical Moss: Silvered celery green linear holo with silver and aqua micro glitter and blue glass flecks





Gold Rush: Gold linear holo packed with holographic gold micro glitter and gold shimmer





Turquoise Hibiscus: Turquoise scattered holo with glass flecks that shift from violet to blue to green, and blue and green micro to small hex glitter





Mountain Laurel: Orchid pink linear holo with blue and purple glass flecks, and loaded with violet and aqua shimmer





Moonlight Daisy: Royal blue scattered holo with blue, turquoise and silver micro glitter, red glass flecks and sapphire shimmer





Lilacs in Lava: Lavender scattered holo with neon purple flakies and glass flecks that shift from red to orange to gold





All of these pretty polishes and more are available on http://www.blackdahlialacquer.com/.
My favorites of the collection would have to be Lilacs in Lava and Moonlight Daisy. Which ones are your favorites?

Happy Earth Day!

Cupcake Polish: Purple Rain

Purple Rain was my very first Cupcake polish from 2013, I think I ordered it fairly close to my birthday as a treat for myself. I had not heard of the brand but saw a swatch of Amy's from AtlCat'sMeow on facebook and fell hard for it. So I had to have it!



It's a beautiful violet purple with holographic goodness. I took this photo set about a week after it arrived. I realized that I had never blogged about it until a fan asked for photos of some of the original polishes from Cupcake. I don't know if this is one of them, but it is certainly from when I first heard about the brand.

I remember the polish was fairly sheer and so I used more than two coats, but I don't recall the exact number. Anywho, I hope you all enjoy seeing a little blast from the past here!







These photos were taken when I still struggled with capturing the holographic rainbow on the nail unless it was super strong. So while these photos look fairly holo - they are so much stronger. :)
Thanks for walking with me down memory lane! :)
