Different Dimension Rosette Nebula

Rosette Nebula was released this month by Indiana-based indie polish maker Different Dimension as one of three custom, limited edition polishes for January 2017 created exclusively for members of the Hella Holo Customs (HHC) Facebook group. A light pink linear holo with sterling silver flakies and pink glass fleck shimmers, the color here is a cool, desaturated hue along the lines of pink lace, with a reflective, strong silvery aspect courtesy of superabundant silver flakies, which give it a delicate, almost icy character and gleam brightly as light travels over them. It's also powerfully holographic, displaying a pastel-hued prismatic flare even under today's overcast, rainy skies. I can only imagine the rainbows it would get up to in the sun -- I expect they would be spectacular!

Application was wonderful. The consistency of Rosette Nebula is fluid and slightly fluffy with a medium viscosity and an even, self-leveling glide over the nail, an eminently-paintable formula that goes exactly where you put it and stays there and is just generally a joy to work with. Pigmentation is very good, with evenly opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is a little tasky as those silver flakies LOVE to stick, but the formula is so easy to work with that a clean manicure is entirely within the realm of possibility -- even for shaky hands like mine. Rosette Nebula surface dries very quickly but remains tender underneath for a little while longer. Topcoat does not inhibit the holographic properties in any way.

I am always impressed with HHC creations, but this one really wows me! It is just so delicate and ethereal and icy, with a dynamic, dappled reflectivity, fantastic holographic effects and a fierce, gleaming presence on the nail. Artfully composed, this is no winsome, cuddly pale pink. It's a pale pink fit for a faerie queen -- a powerful, potentially dangerous faerie queen!

Rosette Nebula is available through 31 January from Different Dimension's big cartel shop, but you must be a member of HHC to purchase. Joining is easy -- just visit HHC's page on Facebook, click join and wait for approval, which is usually very quick. Even if you don't necessarily feel like participating in the group's activities, it's worth being a member simply to have unfettered access to wonderful HHC exclusives like this one. 

love,
