Addicted

Hi I'm Julia and I'm an Addict...
The first step is admitting I have a problem and I do. I am completely addicted to buying polishes. This afternoon after spending time outside in the glorious weather, I made a trip to Ulta with the goal of buying purple polish for when I do my friends nails for prom... Well I got purple.. and then some... $80 later here's what I got...
From left to right:
China Glaze Liquid Crystal:
Here's a confession- I adore glitter and holographic polishes. So this is everything I want in a polish. Glitter and Holo!! This polish scream mermaid to me. With blue, green, purple and pink micro and medium glitter this is to DIE for. I love this formula as well... not too thick but 2 coats is opaque! Glitters are top coat eaters- so 2 coats of SV make this smooth.

China Glaze Techno:
This polish is a clear base PACKED with micro and large octagon shaped silver glitters. The larger octagon glitters are super holo meaning as you move your hand the light reflects off changing colors. (like the back of a CD). Ill be using this polish for glitter gradient tips.

China Glaze Coconut Kiss:
I've never really liked purples- but these next to polishes I really do like! With just 2 coats of this purple it is true, Minnesota Vikings Purple. So smooth and slightly pearled- it does look like gels!

Orly Frolic:
This is a purpley pink creme that matches a dress I own perfectly. Just one coat is opaque but i'll still do two for safe keeping. Would totally do this one on my toes once my obsession with China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy fades...

Orly Mirror Mirror:
This is a true gray color with no shimmer so you can't argue silver! I love a good gray... To me its a type of nude. This one is wonderful and opaque with 2-3 coats.

Wet n' Wild Gray's Anatomy:
I happened to stumble across this color and just about DIED. Holy holo... obsessed. I paid 99 cents for it so I cant really complain. In the bottle this is so amazing. But once you put it on its nearly clear.. First and second coat just tint... Unlike Color Club's Revvvolution, this is a light color with an all over holo, meaning it changes color under different light- rather than rainbowing as you move your hand. This polish goes teal, pink, silver, purple and blue so far! Love the idea but less than impressed with the formula.

Orly Space Cadet:
This is a bluey green polish with copper micro glitter giving it a holo feel. This glitter is amazing and catches every light. I don't see the holo that there was in the bottle- but I still love this!

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue:
This is much more periwinkle in person than the photo shows. Love these cheep polishes because they are super pigmented. Both Sally Hansen xtreme wear and Sinful colors, are my favorite to water marble with.
