Mish Mash Challenge: Holographic

Hello lovlies!!

Happy hump day says every camel ever! ;) It's time for another mish mash challenge day and I was super excited about the theme: holographic. It's no secret that holographic polishes are some of my favorite! I desperately wanted to bring you guys a holographic watermarble but Miss Watermarble being the fickle bitch that she is said "ain't no way in hell you're getting a holographic marble today". UGH! I literally tried for 3 hours yesterday and got a big fat NOTHING! Damn you Miss Watermarble!!! So sad :( 

But I decided to try out a maze gradient nail again inspired by the lovely Sarah from Chalkboard Nails. She always has such amazing nails and she does these gradients and paints a maze design over them that I just drool over every time. I decided to give is a go and loved it! It was surprisingly much easier then I anticipated! 

I started with a base of Color Club Over the Moon and sponged a gradient over that using Color Club Over the Moon and Eternal Beauty. When that was dry I took Color Club Beyond and a nail art brush and painted the maze design on top. Top coat with some Poshe and it was finished! 

OH! And watch out guys I'm experimenting with my photos AGAIN! -_- I just can't settle LOL! I'm loving this crisp white background though... but the edges came out far too blurry :( What do you guys think about it? 




Too bad the holographic effect didn't shine as bring in the photos as it did in real life :( But you can see a little sparkle below.


Well, these weren't exactly what I expected, again thank you Miss Watermarble -_-, but I really do love this design! And come on... everything is better with some holographic-ness mixed in! ;) 

What do you think? What's your favorite brand for holographic polishes?
Thanks dolls! Don't forget to check out everyone else's holographic nails!

    Can I ask you how many lamps do you used for your lightbox? I can't seem to have enough light for photos in mine, they are always way too dark :(
