The second the weather gets all summery and hot, I feel the need to wear dark nailpolish, weird, eh? Thankfully there are plenty of sun appropriate blacks, dark blues, purples and what have you - yes, I am talking holo here ;-)! Today I have an awesome deep black holo for you coming from one of my favorite brands right now: Lilypad Lacquer!!!
Rainbows in Space throws linear holo in red, green and blue. In the sun, I also detected a golden shine but opposed to other bloggers observations, the shine was invisible outside the sun - maybe I just didn't give Rainbows in Space a thorough enough shake.
I applied three thin coats of Lilypad Lacquer Rainbows in Space over my regular Base Coat. Whoa, what a pleasure to apply. Smooth, creamy, even and quick drying - my holo heart just amped up a beat or two!! It dries just a tad dull so I finished my mani with Glisten&Glow HK Girl. IRL the holo was a healthy dose stronger - about as strong as you see it sparkling in the bottle in my last picture.
Final thoughts: I just love Lilypad Lacquer Rainbows in Space (as any other Lilypad Lacquer I tried so far). And wouldn't you agree, that such a beautiful holo is the perfect compromise to get away with dark as dark is possible nails on a sunny summer day?
I ordered Lilypad Lacquer Rainbows in Space with Llarowe but as of last week, they are also available with Pshiiit Boutique - YAYYYY (my credit card cringes - LOL)!
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

It may be dark but it's stunning! I love the holo effect :-) WOW :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you Ananka - and just imagine the one or the other level up on the holo effect <3
DeleteI've been itching to wear some darks, too, but somehow found myself with a nude colored PixieDust on my nails, instead... Anyhoo, this is one gorgeous holo and the name makes me think of the Muppets-- Pigs In Spaaaaace!!!! And seriously-- these indies have their holo formulas nailed and any big name who can't get it right has no excuse, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou got me hollering - Pigs in Spaaaace!!! And Ms Piggy going all ompfh - SQUEAL!!!! You nailed it - no excuse of big brands to screw holo formulas anymore - but honestly, with all those unique Indies out there I gannot imagine lemming for a holo by a biggie anymore. Nude is lovely too and for me the only difference between Seasons is that in Summer I want to wear all the colors out there while in winter I am more selective - have a lovely day and as always thank you for making me laugh xxx
DeleteI usually don't get the itch to wear dark colors (it's all about brights and neons for me), but for some strange reason, I couldn't stop myself from putting a dark color on my toes yesterday lol. Love this shade on you! The holo effect comes across so clearly again the dark color! :)

Hi Yun, thank you so much!!!! I know, I am odd but I feel drawn to dark colors more in summer than winter - the holo justifies the need to wear it in summer rather than in murky winter ;-)! Oh I love dark painted toe nails - very cool!!!! <3
DeleteThat is so beautiful! I totally agree, a dark holo is perfect for summer if you wish to wear dark shades :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much hon xoxo
