Pink, Purple, and Black Nailart

I did some nail art back in May for the closing celebration of a year long leadership program that I was selected for at work. The swag we got was black and pink/purple, so I did nails to match. I cannot recall what products I used, but thought I'd share since its different from the usual swatches I do. Photos of both hands, ya'll! Enjoy!

Nabi: Hologram Effect (magenta)

Time for a throwback and walk down memory lane!
A dear friend of mine, Connie, and I used to travel to visit each other on the regular (the pandemic changed that). On one of her first visits to my city we made the rounds to all the drug stores and beauty supply shops to see what new and interesting polishes they had available. During this time, holos were very hard to come by, indies or mainstream alike.
At a Walgreen's near her hotel, we discovered Nabi. The polishes came in an array of shades and were all holographic! The price point was quite affordable as well, if I recall they were around $4-6ea. You'd have thought we were kids in a candy shop! The polish display was, get this, an acryllic candy jar with all their polishes tossed in. We quickly went through them and I ended up with this magenta holo.
I had never worn it, so it was high time! Surprsingly, it has not faded at all over the years I have had it. It looks just like it did when I purchased it. I took a few photos to share, and perhaps create a bit of nostalgia for some of you who may remember these.
