November 2016 Group Customs for Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies: Swatches and Review

November 2016 Group Customs for Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies: Swatches and Review

*Sent by makers for swatch and review*

Hey there! It's been about a month since I've actually sat down and written out a blog post; I guess that I didn't even realize that I needed a break, until I actually took one! Even though I've still been doing some of my own swatches and posting on Facebook and Instagram, I'm happy to be back! 

Tonight I'm going to be sharing the Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies customs that were created for the month of November; these will be available for a few more days, so be sure to grab the ones that catch your eye! Let's take a look! 

Holo-Maniacs Customs

Seventy-Seven Nail Lacquer Holo-Maniacs Custom #10

Seventy-Seven Nail Lacquer's Holo-Maniacs Custom #10 is a medium green linear holographic base packed with a myriad of different colored holographic glitters. I used two coats for full opacity, and they dried down quickly and smoothly. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat.

DIFFERENT dimension Holo-Maniacs Custom #11

DIFFERENT dimension Holo-Maniacs Custom #11 is described by Missi as a vibrant spring green with a medium intensity linear holographic effect as well as gold flecks and iridescent gold to orange to green. As always, the formula was absolute perfection: It applied smoothly, and was opaque in two easy medium coats. Despite the flecks and glitter, it dried down smooth. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat!

Fantasmic Flakies Customs

Great Lakes Lacquer Emerald Waters

Great Lakes Lacquer Emerald Waters is described as An emerald green glowing with aqua to green crystal flake, lime to teal multichrome flake, and electric blue and gold microflake. The formula on Emerald Waters was smooth and buttery, and I used three thin coats for full opacity. Depending on the length of your nails, you can probably get away with two medium coats; however, I feel that using three thin coats will give you the dimension that comes along with all of the flakes and shimmer. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat!

Ever After Polish Burnt Amethyst

And the final custom for November that I have to share with you is from Ever After, and it is named Burnt Amethyst! Burnt Amethyst is described as a brown crelly packed with blue to purple iridescent flakes and purple and chrome flakes. I was able to get this beauty opaque in two medium coats, and it dried smooth and shiny. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat!

October 2016 Customs for Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies: Swatches and Review

October 2016 Customs for Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies: Swatches and Review

*Sent by makers for review*

Long time, no blog! I'm back today with the October 2016 customs that were created for both Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies, two groups that I created on Facebook. Each month, we have two featured makers who create gorgeous polishes based off of member-submitted and voted inspiration pictures. Let's take a look at what we have for this month! 

Holo-Maniacs Customs for October 2016

Sassy Pants Polish Dark Opal (Holo-Maniacs Custom #8)

One of the brands for Holo-Maniacs is Sassy Pants Polish. Angie, the maker, created a dark purple jelly base polish with orange, purple, gold, and silver holo glitters, as well as copper metallic glitters. Dark Opal applied smoothly and evenly, and I did not need to fish for or over-manipulate any of the glitters. Shown are three thin coats for full opacity, plus one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat.

Nail Hoot Lacquer Holo-Maniacs Custom #9

 

 

The second featured brand for Holo-Maniacs is Nail Hoot Lacquer! Brandie of Nail Hoot created a polish that is described as a deep red linear holo. Holo-Maniacs Custom #9 had an impeccable formula (it was my first polish from Nail Hoot), and I was able to get it opaque in two smooth coats. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat. 

Fantasmic Flakies Customs for October 2016

Lou It Yourself Trip the Lights Flaketastic 

Lou from Lou It Yourself created a deep but bright blue polish packed with glass fleck and purple flakies. The formula was nice and smooth, and it dried quickly to boot! Shown are three thin coats, plus one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat. 

DIFFERENT dimension Raindrops on Roses 

The second maker for Fantasmic Flakies is Missi from DIFFERENT dimension, and she created two different polishes! The first is called Raindrops on Roses. 

DIFFERENT dimension Raindrops on Roses is described as a medium violet jelly with added shimmers to create a duochrome effect. Added multi-chrome and sterling silver flakies. As with all DD polishes that I own, this was opaque in three thin, easy coats. Dry time was great, both between coats and when completed. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat. 

DIFFERENT dimension Storms Don't Last Forever

The second of Missi's creations, Storms Don't Last Forever, is described as a violet to copper to gold multi-chrome polish with added multi-chrome flakies, shimmer, and holographic flakies. Shown are three thin, easy coats, plus one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat.

Darling Diva Polish Andromeda (September 2016 Fantasmic Flakies Custom): Swatch and Review

Darling Diva Polish Andromeda (September 2016 Fantasmic Flakies Custom): Swatch and Review 

*Sent by maker for review*

Hey! Long time, no blog! So sorry that I've been absent for a bit; I was catching up with work and school work, then I went to Chicago for the inaugural Polish Con! It was SO MUCH FUN, and I bought more polish than I probably should have. You know what that means: More swatching and blogging material! 

Today, I am sharing the September custom for my group Fantasmic Flakies. The September custom was created by the amazing Carrie of Darling Diva Polish. DDP was one of my first indie brands, and will always hold a special place in my heart. Carrie named the September custom Andromeda; let's take a look, shall we? 

Darling Diva Polish Andromeda is described as a red berry polish that flashes from brick red through purple berry with a soft linear holo and blue to red multichrome flakies. It is seriously so multi-dimensional, and may officially be one of my new favorite Darling Diva polishes! I was able to get Andromeda fully opaque in two coats; it dried quickly, smoothly, and evenly; shown are two coats plus one layer of glossy top coat. 

Andromeda is available only to members of Fantasmic Flakies, and it is available until the end of September. Be sure to join the group right here, in order to be able to purchase this beauty, as well as future group customs!
