Results of the Poll and a Wedding Mani

OK so I am finally getting to the Wedding Outfit that has to do with that poll that has been up forever. But first let's go with the mani I chose.

The bride's favorite color is purple and she loves hearts so I decided on this:




















Let's see if I remember all of this... 3 coats of Nubar Twilight Kiss, not sure what Konad plate, but stamped with Konad sp in Royal Purple. Then I used Nfu-Oh #52 on the left side of the hearts and Gosh Rainbow of the right side of the hearts, topped it all off with Out the Door in silver holo.
I loved this mani so much. It lasted about 3 days then started peeling off, too many coats?

Here's my hair and makeup:

I curled my hair with a 1in iron then pinned up all the curls so they would cool and hopefully may hair would stay curled for at least an hour. (my hair doesn't curl worth sh*t!)




When I took it down after an hour, the curls looked like this:


This was a bit too curly around my face so I pinned it back

with this cute clip

I ended up going with Option 2:

(click the pic for the original post)

the one that everyone chose. With black pants and shoes. Of course I didn't take any pics of the completed me b/c I had to get the bf going so we wouldn't be late. Thankfully we weren't!
Thanks for all your help with this, Ladies!

Silver Holo Comparisons

I decided to do some comparisons of the silver holos I own since I recently picked up Gosh Holographic. The other ones I own are Nfu-Oh #60? (I think) and SH Nail Prisms Diamond.

The Nfu-Oh and Gosh ones are really close and look spectacular without a topcoat. Diamond is kinda old and doesn't dry very well. I think the age of the polish is why it came out more grey than silver. I'm not sure how old it is since I got it off of eBay.

Anyway onto the comparisons!

All without t/c unless noted.

Gosh Holographic

Gosh Holographic next to Nfu-Oh #60?

Gosh Holographic, Nfu-Oh #60?, SH NP Diamond

Gosh Holographic 4 coats with t/c




So you can see the holo

After one day of wear :(
Holos do really suck at staying put on your nails. It might have been the four coats too.
On to the comparisons...
One Coat
top-bottom: Gosh Holo, Nfu-Oh #60?, SH NP Diamond
two coats

three coats
4 coats!

As you can see, Gosh and Nfu-Oh start out real streaky but begin to come to a full application. They are really close and holo-y. I would go as far to say they are dupes *maybe?*
Diamond- not so much

All the same as above
pinky- Gosh holo has the t/c and it does lose it's luster
SH NP Diamond- 4 coats w/tc

please excuse that bump on my middle finger, my nails are in bad shape (peeling) and the holo picks it up



same as above, in full sun



Thanks for looking!
