Here is China Glaze Let's Do It In 3-D.

It's a rainbow-licious gray holo that is super pretty in the sun. Check it out!

I used three coats of polish. Each coat of polish had a coat of Palladio Fuse base under it.

I'm still not used to this whole no top coat thing, but it seems to be working, so I guess I can survive!

I'm not sure, but this is probably the first time I've ever worn this groovy polish.

I wish they would re-release this collection. China Glaze, PLEASE!!! People need this in their lives.

Today I wore China Glaze Sea Spray with White Cap over it. I used two coats of Sea Spray and one coat of White Cap.

Do you know I wore Ozotic Pro 621 for five days? The first day ended badly in chips. Then I reapplied it the next day, alternating a coat of Palladio Fuse with a coat of polish. That was the trick, I tell you! Four days nearly perfect after that. It did look a little dull and odd by the third and fourth day because I didn't have top coat on, but honestly, I could not believe how well it held up. Many times I banged my nails badly and thought for sure it would chip, but it did not! :) Good stuff. This is how I'll be wearing my holos from now on.

This is two coats of Ozotic Pro 621.

It's a rich, vibrant, amazingly holographic polish and is near the perfect shade of red.

It applied wonderfully.

It's so blindingly holo that it kind of freaked out my camera!

I hate to say this, but it looks even better in real life.

And! And! It looks just marvelous in indoor and low lighting. Then, it takes on this jeweled depth that is just breathtaking.

Yesterday, at work, my one manager immediately noticed my nails and said, "Oh! I love your Dorothy's shoes nails!" :)

If there is a downside, it's only that this beaut is a little hard to find. Also, like most holos, it doesn't wear as well as other finishes of polish.

I'm trying it today where I did a coat of Palladio Fuse base, a coat of polish, then another coat of Fuse, and last, another coat of polish. 621 is a holo that definitely and truly gets dulled by top coat.

I'm honestly very nervous about not having top coat on! I pretty much never do that.

For this mani, I started with two coats of Color Club's Wink, Wink, Twinkle. It's a neon purply fuchsia that has tons of holo glitter in it. I know it's holo glitter because as I was removing the polish I saw all that gorgeous holo hiding inside! On the nail it just looks sparkly and iridescent. Still very pretty and very loud.

Then, I added China Glaze Crackle Lightning Bolt and Anna Sui Dolly Girl 008 after that.

I think it turned out pretty cool.

Sephora listed some new polishes about a week ago. I went ahead and ordered some of them, sight unseen! They were just too tempting. This is one of them.

This is two coats of L70 It's Time To Rock!

I was blown away by this little bottle as soon as I took it out of the box. It has a twinge of pinky-purple blue duochrome that only barely translates to the nail.

It's loaded full of gorgeous sparkly blue, silver, and pinky-purple shimmer.

It somewhat reminds me of $OPI If You've Got It, Haunt It, yet is really quite different.

I really like this color and had no problems with the formula or application (even though I'm not a fan of the newer, bigger brush).

Here are a few indoor pictures to show the different aspects of the shimmer. (Never mind that my camera refuses to focus where I want it to on the manual mode. I suck).

A kind friend at Nordstrom gave me a never-used tester bottle of Lippmann Rehab quite a while ago. The mood struck me to finally try it this past weekend.

I love this color, love the finish, but this polish was a bit of a biotch. Go figure. She didn't care to be photo-ed nicely, either.

I recently had a request for swatches of Clarins 230 over white. Great idea!! I actually tried this on a finger the other day and gosh, it came out a streaky mess, so I couldn't bear to take pictures of it. However, I decided to try again with a wheel, and added a few bonus ideas as well.
