I just love polish brands that fly under the radar. I love wearing brands that aren't sold regularly in brick and mortar stores. I feel like I'm in some exclusive polish club :)
2 coats
Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail Charm is a member of the holo club and the "really cute name" club. This polish is a great find and if you like dark holos you won't be disappointed by the oil slick quality this one has. It isn't a black holo, but more of a charcoal grey with a hint of brown. It dries super glossy and is still holo in low lighting. There are a few similar colors to this out there, but for the price you would definitely do best to get this one!

I keep realizing how many holo polishes I have. Hopefully, you aren't all sick of these kind of posts, cause I could stare at holo photos all day!
OPI DS Extravagance fits it's title so very well. It is the most eye catching deep magenta shade that I've ever seen in a polish. It is so smooth and gorgeous. Every polish lover should own this! It's a perfect pedicure color as well and I'm really glad I forked out money for this polish! It'll be one that you can't stop staring at!

I seriously could have a million holo posts and I'm positive this will not be my last one. I can't help it, the sun is out and for me that means BLING polishes!
I'm also celebrating my friends 25th birthday this weekend and I know will be spending some time by the pool. I think this polish is pretty festive :)
3 coats, Insta-Dri topcoat
China Glaze OMG, you complete me. Your ultra fine holo shimmer satisfies my inner raccoon. I have to promise myself to not stare at you while driving, lest I cause an accident.
What's your favorite holo?!

We had a few days of sun last week, so I definitely made it a point to break out my holos. So, here I am continuing the holo theme, but this time with China Glaze!!!
Here is the ever beautiful LOL from the China Glaze OMG collection. I must say I do like writing in internet speak from time to time, ROFLMAOCOPTER11!! Juuuuussst kidding. This is a great mid purple holo that I cannot get over. These bad boys look so great in the sun! Check out that rainbow effect!
You do have to be a leeeedle bit careful applying these. You can use a base coat, but I make sure mine is bone dry before applying my polish coat, otherwise you may experience some drag. Holos have a tendency to chip rather quickly, so I usually wear a topcoat with them, even though it dulls the shine a little bit.

I have been lemming this polish for I don't know how long. I finally gave into EvilBay this last month and picked this bottle o' shine up.
OPI Designer Series Fantasy is everything I wanted it to be, although it is not as holographic as it's other DS family members. It is one of the darkest holos that I've ever seen, even though it lacks that oil slick quality a good deal of other holos contain. This was two easy peasy coats with great coverage. This polish is a dream to work with.
I think this specific color is only available through e-tailers now, which isn't a bad thing because at places like Ulta and Trade secret you'll be spending far more than necessary. If you want this one, search out your options!

Oh boy. This is my first step into the blogging world, so I just thought I would say hello! My name is Allegra and I'm a recent graduate with a B.A. in English. Naturally, I've always loved books and wanted to write about them. Within the last year or so I have become an eeeeeennnssssyyy bit obsessed with nail polish and if you check my blog roll I've got all kinds of fuel for that obsession. I decided I would create my own blog to document my nail polish adventures and literary ones as well. So, welcome to my corner of the internet!
Onward!!
OPI DS Glamour is definitely in my top 10 of nail polishes. It is probably one of the first holos I ever purchased and I can't help going back to it time and again. Look at all that shine! I get grouchy with OPI polishes from time to time, but this one was a home run for me.
