So, back again, and yeah it’s been a while. Sorry!
I’m JUST now getting a chance to really relax. The school semester was long and hard, but in the end I got 2 A’s and 2 B’s. I can’t complain. I know when I did my first Born Pretty holo polish review, I swore I’d do the others as I get them, and I forgot to do the purple polish. I apologize. I will, therefore, be reviewing both the #10 Blue Holo, and the #11 Purple Holo . Both came from Ebay, and take about a month and a half to arrive because they're coming from China. But, the price is right, they're between $3.40 to $4.00 total for each polish. So if you're looking for a cheaper Holo option, these are great.
The one I got first was the purple, so let’s start with that.
The color on it was gorgeous, and it was pretty opaque after 2 coats. I tried it once with two, and then with 3 coats, and while 3 looked better, it lasted on the nail much longer in 2. I did not get a chance to layer this onto a base color, so it may look better on that.
It’s pretty durable, when you wear it in 2 coats + topcoat. It lasted me a week and a few days, and that’s with washing dishes, doing laundry, all that jazz. Repair on it, like I often do when my nails begin chipping to make it last longer, didn’t look great. The colors layer, so even when you have it opaque, or semi opaque, once you start putting polish on the chipped areas to fix it, you’re left with an uneven blotchy spot on the nail. The pink was much easier to repair, I think due to the general lightness of the color.
It applied beautifully though, and dries fast, so those are both pluses for me!
Now, onto the blue.
The Blue polish was better for me than the purple when it comes to color, and it took the usual 2 coats to achieve the desired color. I also got to layer this onto a base color of dark blue, and it looks fabulous on that.
However, the blue seems to be less durable than the purple, because in less than 2 days, I had my first chips. Over half the thumbnail chipped off in the second day, and all the polish tips were severely chipped. I tried to repair the chips, but that was no use, because this color blotched more than the last. Once it chips, it’s done.
It still applies great, though. And the drying time is still speedy.
I’ve got another one in the mail, and I’ll post a review of that once I get it. I’ll have more time now that I’m no longer going to school on campus. I now go to school online, because my Chloe-bear needs me more than Averett University does.
So, until next time, people!
