Hits Holographics - Poseidon

Sorry I skipped the rest of the Hits Holographics, I got a little side tracked with the top coats and new Ozotics. Only a couple to go, which I will finish up with this week.

Here is Hits Holographic Poseidon.  A pretty light blue holo.  This was two coats and there is a tiny bit of a nail line in the photos that really wasn't there in real life (I swear!).





This is how it looks in the shade and indoors.


Next a comparison with the other blue holos I have.  From left to right Poseidon, Ozotic 512, Ozotic 515 and Nfu Oh 65.  First in the shade.

And now in the sun.


Incredibly, even the two most similar ones Poseidon and Ozotic 512 are still slightly different colours.  I actually think Poseidon has a tiny bit more holo appearance that the Ozotics (but of course Nfu Oh 65 is from another planet entirely)

The formula was beautiful on this one and applied smoothly with no bald spots.  Not a unique colour, but certainly worth adding to your list if you don't own a light blue holo yet.

Mish Mash vs Franken vs Holo top coat + with no black base

Alright lovelies, today I have some comparison photos for you. 

First up is a three finger swatch that does a comparison between:
  • Ozotic Mish Mash 532
  • My holo multichrome franken made with Spectraflair 1500-35 and Ozotic 505
  • Ozotic 505 with a holo top coat.
I'm not telling you which is which yet, cause I want you to have a good look before knowing.






So, what do you think?  My opinion is that they are all indistinguishable from each other.  The colour shift in the multichrome is identical, and the holo effect in all of them looks the same too (even though I did a shitty job at capturing the holo this time!).  I knew my franken was going to be identical, but I didn't expect to get the exact same appearance from just the holo top coat applied over 505.

For the record, index finger on the left is my franken, middle finger is Mish Mash 532 and the ring finger on the right is Ozotic 505 with a single layer of Hits Hefesto Holographic top coat.

Next up I did a skittle swatch of each of the Mish Mash polishes one their own without the black base.  This was four coats of each one.


In the shade above and full sun below.  From left to right: 532, 533, 534 and 531.




The colour shift isn't very strong without the black base but I think these are really quite pretty on their own.  It's a totally different look, much softer but still with a great holographic shine.  I've been wearing these polishes all week over a black base and at the moment I'm a bit over the black base which makes my cuticles look stained around the dry edges.  Its a nice change to see something pretty and pastel.
