Super quick nail art

The base color is Color Club Harp On It, see swatches HERE – and I wanted just a little nail art on it, so that I still could enjoy it’s beauty – so here it is, a few stripes and dots painted with acrylic craft colors, and the top coat is Seche Vite.

Color Club Halo Hues Harp On It swatches

I have shown the the spring 2013 Color Club Halo Hues before - but only as swatch stick swatches, see them HERE.

But here you have recent swatches of Harp On It...

Color Club Harp On it is a strong linear silver holographic, and at the end of this post you find a link to a comparison with 5 others, including Chanel Holographic.
It is easy to work with, and what you see is 2 coats without a top coat!

Do you like Harp On It...?
And if you want to see how it compares to 5 other silver holographic polishes - click HERE!

Silver holographic polish comparison: China Glaze, Sally Hansen, Color Club, Chanel and 2 x Gosh

I let the 6 strongest of my silver holographic polishes enter a battle of holographic beauty.

I prefer a holo to be linear with a strong and crisp rainbow, so that's what I wanted to check!

Let's meet the contestants as they also will appear on the swatches below, left to right: China Glaze Sexagon, Sally Hansen Crystal Ball, Color Club Harp On It, Chanel Holographic, Gosh Holographic  (the original) and Gosh Holographic Hero (the new).

Round 1

Left to right: China Glaze Sexagon, Sally Hansen Crystal Ball, Color Club Harp On It, Chanel Holographic, Gosh Holographic and Gosh Holographic Hero.
China Glaze Sexagon is coarser in the holographic particles and could be stronger just like Gosh Holographic Hero, so they leave the competition.

Semi final:

Left to right: Sally Hansen Crystal Ball, Color Club Harp On It, Chanel Holographic, Gosh Holographic. They are all very beautiful, but Sally Hansen Crystal Ball and Gosh Holographic are just a tiny bit weaker in the rainbow - even better seen in person...

Final round:

Index and ring finger is Chanel Holographic and the middle finger and pinkie is Color Club Harp On it.

So, which is the winner for you?
For me it's clearly Chanel Holographic because it's shows it's rainbow even in light settings where the others just are grey/silver. Furthermore in person the rainbow is by far the most well defined and crisp of them all.
But unfortunately Chanel Holographic was sold in 2007 and after it sold out the price has skyrocketed ever since, so a really good substitute would be Color Club Harp On it, the effect is strong and it's beautiful, although not quite as amazing as Chanel Holographic...

PS: some of you know that I during summer bought a complete BNIB set of Chanel Duo Holographic and was hesitant to open it and didn't... But recently I found a bottle of Holographic at a very reasonable price and a few days later I found the Fixing Base at an equally reasonable price, so now I have a set to use, I am such a lucky girl :)

Holo and glitter with flowers

Something for my holo and glitter-loving readers ;)

The base color is Color Club Harp On it, and I painted the flowers with metallic acrylic paint. Over the flowers I added a layer of P2 Glamorous Finish Holo top coat 040 Just Fantastic! – and then I top coated with Seche Vite.

Her er lidt til mine holo- og glitterelskende læsere ;)

Grundfarven er Color Club Harp On it, og jeg malede blomsterne med akrylfarve. Derefter lagde jeg et lag P2 Glamorous Finish Holo top coat 040 Just Fantastic! – og til slut topcoatede jeg med Seche Vite.

Color Club Halo Hues holographic polishes - swatches and comparisons

Harp On It, Cherubic, Blue Heaven, Angel Kiss, Halo-Graphic and Cloud Nine

Today I'm going to show you the Color Club Halo Hues collection that came out in the fall of 2012. All are shown i 2 coats and without a top coat.

First we have the silver holo called Harp On It. I did a comparison, left to right: Sally Hansen Crystal Ball, Gosh Holographic Hero and Color Club Harp On it. There is no doubt in my mind, Harp On it has the strongest effect...

Next up is Cherubic, a nude/sand holographic

Left to right Kiko 399 Silk Taupe and Color Club Cherubic, bot sand/nudes - but again Color Club has the strongest effect

Left to right: Angel Kiss and Blue Heaven. As you can see they are fairly close, but Angel Kiss is slightly green toned in comparison with the more blue toned Blue Heaven.

Left to right: Cloud Nine and Halo-Graphic. Cloud Nine is a slightly darker and more blue toned rose color, where Halo-Graphic is the brighter and more pink...

All in all the holographic effect is amazing - go for them!

But if you really need both Angel Kiss and Blue Heaven is a question only you can answer. One also could debate whether you need both Cloud Nice and Halo-Graphic.
