Different Dimension for Crystal's Charity Lacquers: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi y'all! I have some polishes today from Different Dimension to share. These should have been posted about long ago but work and life have got in the way. These three polishes were created for Crystal's Charity Lacquers, which is a Facebook group founded by Crystal Weber. 

Crystal has been working with indie polish brands to create custom or one of a kind polishes that are sold or fund-raised for giveaways, with all the proceeds being donated to various charity organizations. If you haven't already joined Charity Lacquers' Facebook group, you definitely should check it out. 

The charity this month is the MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Society.  Crystal named the polishes in a way that reflects the cause but also a bit cheeky like her mom.

“This is a charity that is very close to my heart as my mom has MS ad has battled the disease for more than 30 years.  I have grown up watching this illness slowly (and sometimes quickly) take away aspects of life that most of us take for granted.  The ability to stand, to walk, to feed yourself.  The ability to scratch an itch.  To push your hair out of your eyes.  These are just a small sample of day to day activities that most of us take for granted that MS has taken from my mom.” – Crystal

This trio is available for just one more day, today, May 26th in Different Dimension's shop!

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.

Different Dimension Polish Con NYC 2017 Exclusives: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey guys and gals! I have three new polishes from Different Dimension to share. The first two are Polish Con limited editions that will debut at Polish Con, April 29th, and be available all month long in May in Different Dimension's shop. The final third polish, In a New York Minute, is a Polish Con event exclusive. 

Different Dimension Be There or Be Square

Two coats

Steel grey linear holographic with silver holographic micro-glitter
The grey brings to mind the concrete jungle that is New York City. It's a cooler toned grey, which I prefer and the glints from the holo glitter are a nice bit of extra sparkle. Nice fluid formula with coverage in two coats.

Different Dimension Central Park Before Dark

Two coats

Camouflage green linear holographic with silver holographic micro-glitter

During my visits to NYC in the past, Central Park always felt like a beautiful refuge from the busy city and I love how the vibrant greenery translated to this green holo. Same application experience, so overall easy to put on. 

Different Dimension In a New York Minute

Two coats

Peachy nude linear holographic with strong pink shimmer

This one is the Polish Con exclusive and I would highly recommend picking it up at the event. It's a peachy nude with golden metallic overtones from the holo pigment. Application was without issue.

The Holo Hookup May 2017 Box: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey y'all! For today, I have May's Holo Hookup Box to share. Along with polishes from Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow, this month's guest maker is Cadillacquer. The theme is 'Off To Broadway' with the inspiration pic below:

The May 2017 Holo Hookup Box will be available April 21st at 9 pm EST until April 28th at 9 pm EST only in the Holo Hookup shop. 

Important! ---> May's box is NOT a pre-order and will be sold in a first come, first serve basis. So while it falls under the same time frame as previous pre-order windows, once it sells out, it will be marked sold out.

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

Cupcake Polish Defying Gravity 

Two coats

Lime green linear holographic with gold shimmer, gold flakes, and holo micro-glitter

Inspired by: Wicked
Could you make a "Wicked" inspired polish and have it be any other color? Well you could, but this is exactly what I would have envisioned myself. Lots of extra detailing from the flakes, shimmer and glitter. Nice smooth application with just two coats needed for coverage.

Different Dimension I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot 

Two coats

Metallic brown linear holographic with copper and gold shimmer and gold micro-flakes

Inspired by: Hamilton

I have not had the pleasure of seeing Hamilton but picturing the show-bill and costuming, this inspired polish fits well. I love metallic holos and the golden brown coloring is oh so tasty. Slightly thicker formula and over-all easy application with two coats.

 Glisten & Glow Bend & Snap

Two coats

Punch pink with coral undertones linear holographic polish with glistening platinum flakes and and scattered turquoise flakes

Inspired by: Legally Blonde

As with the Wicked inspired polish, could you have any other color but pink for this "Legally Blonde" polish? Nope! I stand firm on that. This is an understated but still quite saturated punch pink and I like how the platinum flakes glint in the base. No issues with formula or application.

Cadillacquer Sing Once Again With Me

Three coats

Silver linear holographic with red shimmer and small red and black glitter

Inspired by: Phantom of the Opera

I have to confess that I hate the musical and story of Phantom of the Opera. It's....just not for me. BUT! This is a lovely and sparkly polish, and ties in well with the inspiration, so regardless if you are fan of the musical or not, I think many will appreciate its beauty. It is a bit more sheer in formula,  three coats got me the opacity I have shown here.
