Different Dimension Tulip Mania

Tulip Mania was created by Missi of Indiana-based indie polish maker Different Dimension for the April 2018 "Tulips" edition of The Holo Hookup, a monthly four-lacquer polish box. Officially described as "a bright berry red linear holographic polish with added shimmers," the color is a vibrant, medium-toned, rosy variation of magenta with aspects of Mexican pink, kind of like a cross between Hollywood cerise and rose bonbon

Finely-milled holographic pigment gives it a lush, floral character on the nail, nuancing the base with dimensionalizing hues of violet, shocking pink and French rose in ambient light and combining with golden particulate shimmers to create a lively, gleaming, semi-metallic underlay of bright pink. In the sun, there's a brilliant linear prismatic display featuring the full retinue of rainbow colors.

Application was luscious. The consistency of Tulip Mania is fluid, dense and smooth with a medium-to-slightly-thicker viscosity and a velvety, even, self-leveling glide over the nail. Pigmentation is very good to excellent, producing evenly opaque coverage and full bottle color in two coats. Cleanup is easy. Tulip Mania dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat does not interfere with the holographic properties of the polish in any way.

Photos show two coats of Tulip Mania over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

You can't really tell it from the pics, but the gleaming, semi-metallic underlay is quite prominent and adds considerable sass to the spirited but ladylike sensibility of the strong, clear, cool, floral pink. The look is sleek and deft, bold and exuberant, with a vivacious, purposeful kind of energy. Gorgeous!
