Jade Holographic Gradient Nails

I cant get enough of my Jades so I made a gradient with Black Magic, Violet Fascination, and Psychedelic.   Pretty sexy, I have to say!

Jade Holographic Patchwork Manicure

This is Jade Holografico season.  Sorry if I've given you holo envy or holo fatigue but the holo manicures will just keep coming!  I recently got in some ultra cheap nail tape from amazon (via some Hong Kong company) and really wanted to do a tape manicure with them.  I looked online and I thought the patchwork mani would work best to showcase several Jade holos as well as work for my shorty short nails. 

I cannot say enough about Jade holos.  Look how crazy beautiful the Jades made this manicure.   On top of that, this manicure was incredibly easy and took about half an hour.  Seriously!  Get you some Jades and/or show me your holo manicures!

Jade Deja Vu

I have my 2nd Jade mani for you and all I can do is stare...its that mesmerizing!

One of the reasons I have started loving Jades so much is not only their holographic goodness but GUESS how many coats this is?  Only two thin ones!!  If you have a change to get some Jades, you should...worth the price or the hassle!

My Brazilian Polishes arrived!!!

Several months ago I started chatting with a Brazilian girl in a Facebook polish swap group.  Maryna was wonderful and was able to get some of my most wanted polish lemmings.  Even with international shipping these polishes cost less than what I'd pay in the US, by far!

My first choices were these five colors of the Jade Holograficos:  Deja Vu, Violet Fascination, Black Magic, Psychedelic, and Hynose.

Next, I have been wanting a deep purple holographic polish so my friend picked up Hits Dionisio as well as some others I saw and liked, Fina Flor Transformer and Top Beauty Ultimate 3D Expression of Night.

Last, I found out that Maryna makes her own polishes!  Yes, folks, a Brazilian indie maker.  I demanded pictures and I asked for these beauties.   Can't wait to get these pretties on my fingers!

Without further stalling, here is Jade Black Magic.  I am officially addicted to these Jades!

Week 41 of the Year of Polish Challenge: Holo Patchwork Nails

I got several Jade Holos from a Brazilian nail friend and one of my first manicures with them is this patchwork manicure.  I started with two coats of Jade Psychedelic.

Next I used striping tape to cordon off the patchwork triangles.  I then painted each section in random order with Jade Deja Vu, Violet Fascination, and Hypnose.

This manicure is so striking,  I can't stop looking at it and watching the holo rainbow dance on my nails.  I promise, more holo manis are in store!
