Jade Uau!
You know how sometimes when you're beginning a manicure and you've got the polish on a finger nail or two and you just kind of instinctively stretch out your arm for a better look at what you just painted those nails with and your mind just goes "ahhhhhh... yes!"? I just had one of those moments with Jade Uau and was it sweet! Sometimes you just don't know what your mind's been craving until you get it on your nails.
Jade is a mainstream polish maker located in Brazil, where their products are well-known. Less so here in the US but you can get them from specialty online etailers like Llarowe. Like the other Brazilian makers I've had experience with, the polishes come in small 8ml flame-shaped bottles with long tapered tops. They make a line of fantastic true linear holos and Uau is one of them, a well-pigmented medium-light rich coppery orange linear holographic polish. The linear flair produced by this gem is nothing short of spectacular, and the fact that this linear holo is very user friendly just seals the deal.
Uau (which is Portuguese for the English interjection "wow"-- the polish's name actually includes an exclamation mark after it -- Uau! -- which I am omitting here to avoid confusion) has a liquid but dense consistency that is creamy and super easy to work with. No balding. No application problems over basecoat. No diminished holographic flair with topcoat. Applies like a dream. It's Aunt Liz proof! However, if you have any irregularities in your nail bed they will show with this polish, but you can diminish their presence with a good basecoat and/or ridge filler. Uau dries naturally in good time to a silky shine.
Photos show two easy coats of Jade Uau WITH NO CLEAN UP (a first!) over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

Even with all of the holo theatrics, Uau is very light and comfy on the nail. The color reminds me of October and pumpkins and allspice and sugar maples changing color, it has a quintessentially fall feel and familiarity. I just love it. In low lighting indoors the orange color takes on a reflective coppery glow, with a delicious creamy orange look during the very rare moments when the holo flair is not present. But you kind of have to work to find those moments, because this polish is all about the holo.
Would we have it any other way? Oh hell no!
love,
Aunt Liz
