Make Up Store Holos!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to show you some swatches of the Make Up Store Holos that I bought from my friend Kimba a while ago! Today was a beautiful sunny day making it perfect to swatch! There are four different holo colors! Britta which is a pink holo, Madeline which is more of a peachy/nudey holo, Siw which is a light blue holo, and of course the famous Greta which is a silver holo. Although some might say that you need to use a special aquafix base coat for these other wise it will apply very blotchy, I've tried it with my Orly Bonder Rubberized base coat and it applies just fine, but thats just me lol. Beware of being blinded, these polishes are SO holo!! Gorgeous! I would say that it is very similar to the China Glaze OMGs, but even better!!! You can purchase these polishes online for about $14 USD. Anyway, here are the beautiful pictures you have all been waiting for!

Pictures from thumb to pinky go as Britta, Madeline, Siw, Greta, and Britta again.

MUS Greta VS China Glaze OMG

Hello there everyone! Today I am going to do something that I haven't done on here before, a swatch comparison! And of course its gonna be a comparison of two awesome holos because today is such a beautiful day!
Make Up Store Greta: 8mL, comes in a long and pretty cylinder bottle. The holoness doesn't really show up in the bottle, and you need to use a special MUS aquafix base coat or else it will apply blotchy, although, I have tried this with Orly Bonder  Rubberized basecoat and in my opinion, works just fine. You can find this online at http://www.makeupstore.se/usen/products/nails/holographic/ and start from $14 USD.

China Glaze OMG: 15mL, comes in regular China Glaze bottles. The holoness shows up really well in the bottle, and any base coat for this polish will be fine. This polish is very hard to find, and the price range can be anywhere as $4 to $60.

Now, lets see what they look like!

As you can see, China glaze is more subtle and soft as MUS is more radiant. They both have the same rainbow effect, just one is more softer than the other. I love both of these! I think Greta would be more of a regular nail use where as china glaze would look better as a stamping polish! what do you think?

BOB ROSS

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not been posting on here. I just haven't had much inspiration lately! But its all okay because I have come up with my most favorite design yet! BOB ROSS nails! For those of you who don't know who Bob Ross is, he was a painter. An AMAZING painter that is! He used to have his own show called "The Joy Of Painting" with thirteen episodes. In those episode he would teach his viewers how to paint a beautiful painting within 30 minutes. He was an awesome teacher, and he proved that ANYONE can paint. He died in 1995 after a long battle with lymphoma.
The reason I chose to do a Bob Ross mani is because when I was a kid I used to watch his show all the time. He is pretty much the reason I love art so much! He taught me that everyone has a special artistic talent! I even remember being in kindergarden and painting a picture while pretending to be like him! LOL. Anyway, he is truly an inspiration and definately deserves nails dedicated to him!

 And here it is!!!
On my thumb here I have the face of  Bob Ross
On my index finger I've got a scene with a happy little tree of course!
On my middle finger I've got a tie dye background with the name Bob Ross and the years 1942-1995. celebrating his life ( sorry about the B, I was trying out a new top coat and it bled )
On my ring finger here I've got some mountains in a sunset sky with a few happy little clouds ( which my camera wouldnt pick up *sad face* )
And on ly pinky finger Ive got some happy little trees in the night sky :p


And there you have it! My Bob Ross mani! I hope you all enjoyed!
