Different Dimension Celebration

Celebration was just released about a week and a half ago by Indiana-based indie polish maker Different Dimension as part of the Homespun Holidays collection. Described as a "taupe holographic metallic polish with added shimmers, flakies and holographic microglitters," the base color is a pale, shimmery taupe grey that is filled with Missi's special mixed metals magic! Superabundant copper flakies give it a complex, heathery, cinerous look and a radiant coppery pink sheen with hints of violet. Folded into this look are shifting swaths of misty prismatic shimmer in pale blue and gold, dotted with tiny twinkling sparks from a sprinkling of holographic microglitters. Direct sun generates an extravagant, super sparkly linear flare: slender flame-shaped ribbons of bright prismatic color framing a central blaze of gleaming, semi-metallic coppery pink and shading to taupe grey around the edges of the nail.

Application was most agreeable! The consistency of Celebration is fluid, smooth and dense with a medium-to-thick viscosity to which I added a squirt of polish thinner at the outset. Thinned, it had a creamy, even, self-leveling glide over the nail with very good pigmentation, delivering completely opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is easy, but does free up various tiny components to ensconce themselves about the nail environs. Celebration dries naturally in good time to a slightly flat finish with a small amount of gentle texture from the glitters, easily smoothed by topcoat. Topcoat does not affect the holographic properties in any way.

I love greys and taupes on my nails so I had to have this stunning silvery/coppery taupe holo. The holographic effects are powerful and responsive in almost any kind of light, and mix beautifully with the copper flakies to produce a fantastic, rich, shimmery visual texture that is full of shifting colors. It has an ornate, kind of iridescent feel on the nail that reminds me of Louis IV somehow, yet with with the versitility of a neutral. 

Excellent!
