Yep another Spring 2011 collection we’re visiting now! 😛 There was incredible hype about this collection but it is largely inaccessible online. I had to have my awesome cousin hook me up with them! They were released in only Sally’s I think, or something like that.

It’s supposed to imitate the beloved OMG/Kaleidoscope collections from 2006, but when people found out it was going to be scattered holo a lot us were upset. After swatching them in sunlight, I can say there’s a decent amount of holo. A few colors don’t quite have it, but a lot have some holographic goodness in them and I’m satisfied. 😀

Onward to the swatches! I don’t have much to say about them except that they were quick drying, formula was fine by me, and it was two layers for all of them. I didn’t need to use an Aqua Base or anything like that. They weren’t as delicate as normal holographic polish would be. I love almost all of them! There are 12 polishes total.

LaserLime

This one is just highly reflective but not quite holo as the others.

Hologram
Formula was thin for this one and I got a bit of cuticle drag.

GamerGlam

Cyberspace
This was a lovely tan holo!

DigitalDawn
This just looked like sand– not holo at all. This is in direct sunlight!

3DFantasy
This had the same situation as Digital Dawn. It had a strong reflective shimmer, but it reflected slightly silver. Not holo.

VirtualViolet
My favorite. Of course 😉

I have a version of OPI’s My Private Jet, it’s a very chocolate scattered holo polish. There are several versions of it rolling around the polish world, and I don’t think I got the right color 😦 It’s supposed to be insanely linear, and apparently charcoal? What I have is definitely not charcoal. Oh well… I do like this color anyway.

You can see the holo best in this photo, and see that it’s obviously not linear at all. It’s just got reflective bits.

Poo 😦

I’ve been back from Florida (which has been great to me, by the way) since Saturday and have gone a bit crazy switching my manis out. So I bring to you a spam of pictures and manicures that I’ve done.

 Base: Rimmel Night Before
Stamped: Pure Ice Outrageous
Bundle Monster plate
 Base: Milani 3D (holographic collection)
Checkers: Zoya Savita
I wasn’t nuts about this one. You Just Wait would make a nice base for a muted down french, but I couldn’t get the french tip stamp to cooperate with me.. See how they all kind of lopside?
 Base: Sinful Colors You Just Wait
Stamped: Color Club Where’s the Soiree?
Bundle Monster plate
 Base: Essie Nice is Nice (From their Spring 2011 collection)
Stamped: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin’ Jade
Konad
I bring to you my official favorite yellow as of now. Needs about three coats as it is streaky, but evens out and builds up nicely. Also looked great on me.
Avon Sunshine
What I have on now. Nummy. 
Avon Powerful Pink with Nfu Oh 48 layered over.

 Began with China Glaze DV8 from their OMG! collection…

 Stamped with Konad m63 with WnW Black Creme, my little holy grail.

Nummy. Holographic goodness.

Unfortunately this is going off because I have a class presentation tomorrow, and I don’t think this will give me the mojo I need.
