I started with 2 coats of China Glaze White on White, and then added a coat of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Diamond. I wish there was sun when I did this, so I could even see if that helped more. Maybe I shall try again one day.
Side note - I can't freaking wait!!! One week from now I will be enjoying my day off, and proabbaly still talking about just seeing the Hunger Games with Jack!!! Are any of you going to the midnight showing? I always said I would never go to one of those, mainly because of the crowds, but I just couldn't wait!
I really like it!
ReplyDeleteI bet that would look amazing in sunlight!
ReplyDeleteI know, I really need to try it again!
DeleteI love the way it turned out! Like a soft ivory holo!
ReplyDeletevery nice...I can't wait for the Hunger Games either!!! Not doing the midnight thing though...just did it for Twilight :)
ReplyDeleteSee, I wanted to do it for Twilight, but no one would go :(
DeleteIt's gorgeous! I will be happy if I find a polish like that in my country!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks fantastic!! A great summer go-to, though I expected to see something green posted today ;) Perhaps tomorrow? Btw, are you nails a little shorter here or is it just me? I am LOVING the length in these pictures (I tend to prefer more of a short nail, which is not the best when trying to recreate some of your looks).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I trimmed them down :) I'm glad you like it, I had a minor accident with my middle finger.
DeleteLooks great. Nice layering. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, I'm super excited for the Hunger Games also but decided against the midnight showing plus it's completely sold out now in my area. It's ok my boyfriend and I decided the week after is when we will go which I'm super stoked that he will even go with me, I had to force him to go to Breaking Dawn and even then he fell asleep 5 minutes after the movie started.
ReplyDeleteHaha, did he really??? Jack wouldn't go see it, but when I purchased it, he ended up watching it, and was sooo mad at himself for loving it. Now he can't wait for part 2, lol
DeleteIt came out awesome!
ReplyDeleteTotally wish I was going to a midnight HG showing. My viewing buddy is my mom, though, and no way she would be up to going. She went to a HP midnight showing with me once, and that was only because I was having friend drama and had spent the whole day crying, so she felt bad for me. I think I'm too old for that now, though, lol
You are never too old for momma time!! I say you guys go together, it could be your time and it could become a little ritual :)
DeleteWhat about a white polish with a Spectraflair Topcoat? That might reduce down the yellowing effect. You can make your own or poke around on fb nail groups to find someone who sells them. :) I think it's pretty as you did it though!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's a great idea. I do own some Spectraflair. Maybe I should try that!
DeleteI'm going ! My sister, cousin, and best friend are coming too. We love the hunger games, just finished reading the first book again. I'm so excited :)
ReplyDeleteOMG I am too!!! I'm thrilled to hear that even the critics gave it good reviews!!
DeleteThis is a pretty holo-maybe sun pics when you can get them?
ReplyDeleteDef, next time I don't have anything planned and it's nice, I'm going to try it :)
Deletethat is so pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had the same slightly-yellowy issue when I layered Milani Dazzling Diamonds over a snow-white polish :( I had wanted to do a "snowflake" look for January. It bugged me too much to leave the mani on for a full week like I usually do! The yellowy-white just had to go!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah it came off soon. It just looked, discolored to me, and off :(
DeleteI actually love how it came out :)
ReplyDeleteI've always liked the idea of a white holo and did the same layering combo you did today, with the same results.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that a while holo that's super holo-y is even possible. I find that the darker the base colour of a holo polish, the better you can see the rainbow, so if we go white, it'll be weak. I dunno, maybe I'm just over-analyzing.
I agree, I'm just so dang determined, lol
DeleteGorgeous combo! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get the Sally Hansen nail prisms? I have some from a long time ago but I'm running out. They are my favorite!!! I need more!!
ReplyDeleteI purchased all of mine off of eBay a few years ago. I wish they were still available and/or cheaper on eBay :(
DeleteThank you for the post!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of this way to copy Light as a feather, which is so difficult to get)
You're welcome :)
DeleteMan, I have to try this like RIGHT NOW, lol! It looks so amazing...
ReplyDeleteThanks!! So did you try it?
DeleteDo you think the white holo would work over a silvery base? That way you get the layering without the yellowy tint. I'm thinking something like Nfu-Oh 61 or CG Let's Do It in 3D.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I don't know. Might be worth a try
DeleteOooh, pretty! I really like how this came out, even with the yellow tint.
ReplyDeleteLove the nails! I came across your blog today and I love it!!! I love all the different nail designs and I'll definitely use these and be here more often!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks and welcome!!
DeleteFunny because I tried to find a cool off white, white, or cream holo and really didn't see anything that hit the mark when I was at the beauty store. If you find one or recommend one, please post it! ~Erin Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteI will of course post it, if I can find one :)
Deletei cant wait for hunger games! my friend is going to the midnight show in los angeles (IMAX) and there you have assigned seating so you don't have to wait in that long line and hope you get a good seat!
ReplyDeleteOMG that is such a great idea!!
DeleteMay not be white white, but it's pretty none the less.

Thanks you guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to drive for 1h10m to see the movie 25th, just finished the book, AMAZING! can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteThis worked out really well for very easy to access shades - least right now for that SH. I am loving white holos (don't have one yet and will be trying yours her).
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I bet you could franken one together with some white cream & a basic silver holo polish =)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I'm going to a midnight show - so excited!
ReplyDeleteHave never seen anything like this, its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCUTE! I have been wanting a white holo too! I'd franken, but I only have 1 holo & I don't want to use it up. lol!
ReplyDeleteDo you have Hits Hefesto? That may be better for layering to create a white holo. I've been craving a white holo too.
ReplyDeleteI was also going to suggest Hefesto (I bought mine at showp.llarowe.com, $10 over white. I just used it over hot pink and it's awesome, can't wait to try it over fluo yellow :)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Quite an interesting color mix, never seen anything like it. Thank you, can't wait for more.
ReplyDeleteI love that outfit!!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
Wengie
