Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment - Nicóle by O.P.I Make a Comet-ment

First of all pictures posted here don't do justice at all of the real color of this nail polish. Because it's a holographic polish it's just so hard to photograph but I tried to do my best on my iPhone camera skills lololo

What I have here is Nicóle by OPI Coment-ment. It's a holographic multicolor glitter e a base gray color glitter. When I saw thhis bottle for the first time I was like "OMG, it's a must have it if you don't have the GOSH Holographic". Well, not that I would say that this from NOPI could be a dupe for GOSH which I would absolutely disagree. Becasue it's not as pigmented as GOSH Holographic is ( I don't have a GOSH my own but I have seen it in person). But in case you don't have, can't find or afford a GOSH you should totally get this one from NOPI. See the pictures below now to see this beauty.

INDOOR under artificial light : it looks just like a silver glitter but in person IT IS NOT LIKE THAT.

Then I took a very upclose picture of the bottle so you guys could see it better. It's close but it's even more colorful than what the picture shows.

Then I decided to wait for daylight and shot some on purpose blurry picture so I could have more lucky with catching up the colors my eyes see on the camera. And ok, I take that.

And now we can see the sparkly I am talking about.

And here too. If you wanna click this picture to see it bigger. Do it and see if you fall in love for this polish. Cause I did. It's a must have it in your collection. Except i have a hate realationship with Nicole by OPI bottles. They are funky and totally throws me off when I think of getting one of them.

And explaining the picture above: that was shot outdoors with daylight. When I let the focus work then I can't get the camera to catch all the multicolor shimmer of the polish. That's why on the pictures above I had to shot with no focus. I guess the camera lens can't focus on the colors but just on the metalic silver glitter.

What are your thoughts on this polish based on my pictures?

MILANI 3D Holographic Collection

Today I have for you guy swatches of the sparkly collection from MILANI called 3D Holographic.

There are 6 astonishing shades of nail polish in that collection that I have swatched just for you to see. I also have to say they are 3 FREE - DBP, Toluene & Formaldehyde Free.

You can find them at MILANI's website HERE and also Target, CVS, Walgreens to buy. They retail $4.99 each bottle (13.2ml).

I have to warn you about the picture overload on this post. Once this beautiful collection has 6 holo nail polish I thought it would be great to post pictures of each shade indoors and outdoors, so you can get a better idea why I am so thrilled about them :) Hope you guys enjoy this post!

On the above picture you can see all of the 6 shades displayed in a mosaic. They are all really pretty.

For the record, my overall opnion about this collection:

- Formula is really good

- Good brush and easy application

- Color true to the bottle

- Color can be achieve in 2 coats. All the pictures you see had 2 coats of nail polish.

- For the ame color of nail polish you are gonna see 2 images = indoors and outdoors.

- Would you recommend? Totally. If you like holos, that's the collection to have.

HI- TECH - It's a beautiful if not my favorite lime green holo. I only applied 2 coats but I believe it would be even prettier if you apply 3 coats instead.
