Holothon: Picture Polish Monroe v2

by

Hullo again. It’s still Holothon so I wanted to take advantage of that and wear another of the wonderful holo glitters by Picture Polish.

Picture Polish originally released Monroe v1 sometime ago as part of its Opulence range. Now I must admit I own Monroe v1 but like the naughty, indulgent lacquerhead that I am, I’m yet to wear it. In between times, however, Picture Polish came out with their new colours, including their collaboration range which contained several lovely holo glitter polishes. I bleated about Kryptonite in a previous Holothon post here.

Now since I’d worn and loved both Kryptonite and Attitude, when I read Cathy at More Nail Polish’s review of Monroe v2 I knew I just had to have it. Cathy’s review included a comparison of v1 and v2. But the clincher for me was that v2, unlike v1, was made with holo glitter rather than bog standard micro glitter (forgive me, am paraphrasing here:)).

Now if you can make out some scratches in the photos it’s because I’d been wearing this for three days before I got around to photographing it. I didn’t even bother reapplying a top coat (lazy see:)). What do you think about that? Pretty amazing huh?

Have you tried many of the recent releases by Picture Polish? What do you think of them?

Holothon: Ah holo glitter polish, thy name is Love

Hullo again.

Am pretty sure holo glitter counted in terms of polishes that qualify for Holothon. Which is lucky really since I absolutely adore the holo glitter polishes that Picture Polish has come out with recently. I admit to buying a couple of them. And I was also fortunate enough to receive a bottle of Kryptonite from the lovely Cathy of More Nail Polish who, as you’d know, was the collaborator on Kryptonite together with Picture Polish.

So far I’ve worn Attitude and Kryptonite, and have Demeter as well as newly formulated Monroe to try. I was too unorganised to photograph Attitude whilst I was wearing it but I did remember to take pics of Kryptonite.

Kryptonite and Attitude are really are distracting polishes to wear because you will honestly want to spend significant periods of time staring at you nails whilst you have these on.

The formula on both Kryptonite and Attitude were great, much smoother than your usual glitter polish and lovely to apply. They dry very slightly gritty so I added a coat of Gelous before a coat of Sech Vite. But despite the additional ayer, they dried really quickly. Wear was also good. I had this on for three days without much tip wear which isn’t too bad seeing as I get tip wear as soon as my nails come within a foot of a keyboard.

I was wearing Kryptonite on our drive back from the Hunter Valley a couple of weeks ago which was a plus because it gave me something to look at whilst we spent time stuck in Sydney traffic:)

Well, week one of Holothon and so far I’ve actually managed more than one post! Yah me:)
