The Holo Hookup May 2017 Box: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey y'all! For today, I have June's Holo Hookup Box to share. Along with polishes from Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow, this month's guest maker is Anonymous Lacquer. The theme is 'Famous and Failed' with the inspiration pic below (this theme, LOL):

The June 2017 Holo Hookup Box is available now via a week long pre-order window from May 21st at 9 pm EST until May 28th at 9 pm EST only in the Holo Hookup shop.

The box is $40 plus shipping which will be available domestically and internationally.

Cupcake Polish Brad & Angelina

Two coats

Dark navy blue linear holographic

Dark and stormy blue, just as, I would imagine Brad and Angelina's relationship to be. Very pigmented, with barely two coats needed for coverage.

Dimension Kristen & Rob

Two coats

Emerald green linear holographic with gold galaxy micro-glitters and gunmetal micro-flakes

I always felt like Kristen and Rob's relationship was too manufactured and not really a legit thing but maybe I am totally off base with that. Regardless, this is a gorgeous green, especially with the glitter and flakes, and goes on easily in two coats.

Glisten & Glow Amber & Kanye

Two coats

Antiqued golden linear holographic polish loaded with gold shimmer, gold bronze, and copper flakes with a dusting of gold holo microglitters

Hmmm, pretty sure Amber is better off now, considering how much we know about Kanye. Still, you can bask in this golden goodness, again, easy to apply in two coats.

Anonymous Lacquer Britney & Justin

Two coats

Stoned washed denim blue holographic

That matching jumpsuit look will haunt Britney and Justin FOREVER. This polish though is a much better rendition of denim blue, with slight silvered feel. Slightly more thin in consistency but two coats still for coverage.

October 2016 Awesomesauce Box: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! For today, I have a collaboration box to share with you all. This is the Lisa Frank inspired Awesomesauce Box, featuring polishes from Anonymous Lacquer, Ever After Polish, Different Dimension, and Lavish Polish. In addition to those four polishes, there will also be a few extras, including water slide decals from Green Goddess Creations, a large rainbow nail file, a little bag of neon start glitter and a cuticle balm sample (mine was Rum Butter but I don't know if the scents will be varied or all the same). I grew up at what I think is the height of Lisa Frank's popularity in the late 90's so I definitely owned my share of Lisa Frank items. The bright colors, both from the polishes and the extras evoked the playful and fun spirit that came with Lisa Frank.

The October Awesomesauce Box will be available as a pre-order from October 7th at 8 pm EST until next week, October 15th in the Awesomesauce Box shop! The full size set will be $40 plus shipping and a mini set listed as well.

Anonymous Lacquer Dream Like a Unicorn

Two coats

Indigo blue/purple linear holographic with subtle purple shimmer

A beautiful and deep, bold blue with super easy application, barely needing two coats for coverage.

(Under LED Light)

Different Dimension Stargazer

Three coats

Clear base with silver holographic micro-glitter plus white and neon matte glitter

I love this holo glitter-bomb! I added on the stars from the bag that was included in the box and the extra pop of bright color is...wait for it... awesome. While it is a full coverage glitter, you will need a few coats for complete coverage, I have it shown in three. Plus a double layer of topcoat to have that smooth shiny finish.

(Under LED Light)

Ever After Polish Let's Be Frank

Two coats

Bubblegum pink scattered holographic with iridescent shimmer

A juicy pink and I love how you see flashes of pink/violet/blue from the iridescent shimmer. Slightly thicker formula which applies easily, this is two coats for opacity.

(Under LED Light)

Lavish Polish Chasing Rainbows

Three coats

Orchid purple holographic with blue fleck shimmer

A warmer, lighter toned purple that is oh so nice. The holo is not super dense, think a scattering of sparkle rather than a tight holo flame. The formula is a thinner consistency, you could have coverage in two coats but for me, three was better.

Extras!

Hella Holo Customs Halloween True Blood inspired exclusives from Anonymous Lacquer and Ever After Polish: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey everyone! I have a different kind of review for you all today. The six polishes for today's post are from Anonymous Lacquer and Ever After Polish. These two brands created True Blood inspired exclusives for Hella Holo Customs or HHC.

What is Hella Holo Customs? It's a Facebook group in which every month, two featured brands create custom, holographic polishes based on feedback from the group members. It is a "secret" group so in order to join, you can do that a couple of ways. You can join Anonymous Lacquers' Facebook group OR Ever After Polish's Facebook group and there will be an instruction post in each group. You can also email a request to hellaholocustomercare@gmail.com.

So with the inspiration material that is True Blood, I was not surprised to see red or vamp colored holos. Which is a good thing, as I do love red and vampy holo polishes. This was actually my first experience with Anonymous Lacquer and I really liked the polishes I received. Her polishes have a nice formula consistency with high density holo flames. My only critique is that she has a more narrow brush, similar to Essie polish brushes and I have become used to flat, wider brushes, especially with my longer nails. But this did not give me an issue with application, it's just a personal preference of mine. The Ever After Polishes were just as great formula wise and the colors were so pretty. I especially loved Bite Me, a white holo is hard to pull off and I liked that I was able to see a holo flame. Okay, enough talk, let's get to photos:
