Mod Lacquer Atomic Age
Like yesterday's World of Tomorrow, Atomic Age was released by indie polish maker Mod Lacquer as part of the World's Fair collection in September 2014. This is a deep plummy purple scattered holographic polish. In low light and shade, it has a slightly dusty look from the medium-sized holographic particles, and shows a red lean that gives it a sophisticated deep wine color. But in the sun, it explodes with sparkling color. Twinkling prismatic hues of indigo, blue, green, yellow and red create a nearly linear holographic flair, surrounded by bright sparks in shades of purple, red-violet and berry. Gorgeous!
Application was similar to World of Tomorrow, which is to say: fantastic! The consistency of Atomic Age is fluid, light and creamy with a silky, self-leveling flow over the nail. This is a user-friendly polish, amenable to thin or thicker coats without running, bubbling or pooling. Pigmentation is very, very good, with completely even opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is easy and straightforward with a tiny bit of pigment travel but no residual staining. Atomic Age dries naturally in fairly good time to a smooth, slightly flat finish that wants a good topcoat to look its best. Topcoat does not in any way diminish the holographic properties of this polish.
Photos show two coats of Atomic Age over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

From what I've seen, creator Jennifer makes some kick-ass linear holos as well, but I sure do love these scattered holos. I love the abundance of differently colored flecks, the organic quality that a scattered holo has. Atomic Age is particularly beautiful. The base is nice and rich, and I adore the way it comes alive in direct light.
Well done!
love,
