Have you heard of NNS polish?

In the next few weeks, I will be showing you some of the holos I bought online from a China website. Unfortunately it will be next to impossible to order them again, since it took some massive effort and three months for my nail mail to arrive (I won't bore you with the story), and I have yet to see these holos being sold anywhere else!

NNS NH150 - two coats with top coat

Today I have for you NNS NH150. Despite the boring name (or lack of), this polish is a winner. A brownish, mauve purple packed with gorgeous holographic shimmers, subtle rainbow effect shines through this very unique shade. I really can't think of any polish out there this is quite like this, and I absolutely love the holo shimmery effect!

This is how a bottle of NNS looks like

I have no trouble with the formula, and I get complete opacity with two easy coats. Top coat does not dull the holo effect either, so even more reason to love about this brand!

I have four more NNS in my stash waiting to be swatched, so watch this space! Have you ever seen/heard of NNS before? Can you think of any dupes?

Awesome Holo Sauce! BSJ Burple Holo #13 & comparison to OPI DS Glamour

After impatiently waiting for three months, my OPI DS Glamour has finally arrived! Along it I also received a BSJ #13 blue holo, and since they look quite similar in the bottles, I decided to do a quick comparison for you guys.

Notice how similar the BSJ bottle design is to OPI? 

A quick introduction to BSJ polishes. It is the same as BK holos (i.e. the numbering is the same), and I believe they are made in China. China is infamously known for making fakes for everything possible, but I am not going to complain if they could make more awesome holos like BSJ/BK!

OPI DS Glamour vs BSJ #13 Holo, both two coats with no top coat

As you can see from the above swatch, they look quite similar. If you look more closely though, DS Glamour is a true dark blue holo, whilst BSJ has a stronger purple base, making it more of a burple holo. Both polishes are very strong linear holos, as you can see in the following photo:

The difference between the two polishes is minimal in this photo

I am absolutely blown away by the pretty rainbows shining through by both polishes! There are not too many dark blue linear holos out in the polish world, so I am delighted to own these two rare polishes!

I then decided to change my mani to BSJ #13 so I could show off a bit more of its beauty. The formula is a bliss, and I get complete opacity with two easy coats. The dry time is lightening fast too!

I think I have done enough babbling, so I will let the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy!

Estessimo Tins - 405 Heavenly Pink Sapphire

I love trying new polish brands, especially if they are holos! Estessimo Tins is a Japanese polish brand, and is famous for making awesome glitter polishes. I managed to find #405 - Heavenly Pink Sapphire from a local small cosmetic shop, which I am quite excited about, considering I hardly see brand sold anywhere else!

Estessimo Tins - 405 Heavenly Pink Sapphire - 2 coats with top coat

Heavenly Pink Sapphire is a light pink, scattered chunky holo. Its holographic effect is similar to China Glaze Keleidoscopes, and because the holo particles are quite large, you could sometimes see a faint linear holo effect too.

The application of this polish is okay, although you could still see some VNL (visible nail line) after 2 coats (I suspect it will be opaque at 3 coats). Heavenly Pink Sapphire is a very sweet and pretty polish, without going over the top.

A lemming killed - A England Lady Of The Lake

A England Lady Of The Lake - 2 coats with top coat

I admit, I am a sucker for all things purple and holo when it comes to polish, so of course Lady Of The Lake from A England became one of my biggest lemmings when I saw it.

I received LotL via a MUA swap, and could not wait to try it on! This is my first time trying A England, but I have heard many good things about this brand amongst nail bloggers, and I am not disappointed.

The holo is not showing up in my swatch, but I promise you it is there!

A dark, classy purple loaded with silver shimmer and tiny holographic particles, you could see the prismatic effect under bright light, even if it is very subtle. Nevertheless, LotL is gorgeous polish and I think it compliments my skin tone well. The wear time is very long lasting too; I have been wearing LotL for three days with no chip wear or tip wear (keep in mind I am pretty rough with my hands), and the application was a breeze with two easy coats.

I would definitely be getting more A England in the near future (Tristam is another huge lemming of mine), especially with the free international shipping now being offered from A England's website!

Not quite my kind of polish - Kleancolor Holochrome

Kleancolor Holochrome - 2 coats with top coat

Hello my dear readers! Today I have for you Kleancolor Holochrome, a periwinkle jelly base loaded with scattered holographic glitters. I must say i am somewhat disappointed with this polish. Not only does it dry to a gritty finish, it also makes me feel like I am too old for this polish because of its 'kiddish-like' glittery effect. Or perhaps it just doesn't suit me, because I thought Holochrome looks really pretty on other people's swatches, ah well, I guess I will put this up for swap.

Feeling a bit slack today, so I'll finish off here, until next time :)

Don't foget to enter my giveaway, only 4 more days to go!
