We can thank indie polish makers and their mad skills for all of the awesome holos available now! From the blazing super linear ones to the rich saturated scattered ones to the subtle complexity of "shimmolos," they've come so far. Some say they're over the holo "trend," but you won't hear that from me. It'd be like looking a gift horse in the mouth, no?<br /><br />Cat and dog hairs are major threats to my manicures here. Far more insidious than dent gremlins. You know that feeling you get when you're on the second coat of a manicure that's going really well and you load up your brush and touch it to your nail and as you draw it across you see that squiggle of something foreign there in the wet polish that follows your brush off of the free edge... that sinking feeling akin to despair but sweatier and with more panic as the entire application process flashes before your eyes? *lol* That happens all the time here. I need to stop using my favorite angled tweezermans to extract hairs from wet polish or just dedicate them to the nail box and get another one for non-polish use.<br /><br />At least this time, the polish was dry and the hair just wanted to be in on the photos. Nothing hurt but my pride!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-42342843166396666322015-01-14T22:59:11.693-05:002015-01-14T22:59:11.693-05:00When I was growing up my mom positively ADORED the...When I was growing up my mom positively ADORED the Anne of Green Gables movies, and I used to watch them with her all the time. I'm tempted to revisit them now (I hardly remember them anymore, and since the demise of VHS I don't think my mom has really ever watched them), and read the books for the first time, too, after that lovely passage. <br /><br />D'aww, a chirruping Picchio!!! That sounds adorable, and simply irresistible. I would have petted him, too. But then, that's probably the reason that I find all kinds of hairs in my swatches all the time; blarghh.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how much better holos have gotten in such a short time? I'm still amazed when I apply an indie and the holo is still blazing away under electric lights, in the shade, wherever. I think of my very first holographic, a Layla called "Mermaid's Spell", and how difficult it was to apply, and how it scratched off right away but you couldn't use topcoat, and the dull silvery pallor it had in indirect light, as you describe. The improvement is astounding. And I just love this color on you, Liz! You do peacock hues so very well :)Marisa Sprinklepuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174436310379261208noreply@blogger.com
