Spoiled- I'm So Jaded with HITS Hefesto Holo Topcoat

Hello readers. Today I'm going to show you a color that I've been dying to try since I bought it. This is I'm So Jaded by Spoiled, which is a collection from Wet 'n' Wild.  This color is so awesome... It's a neon lime green with gold/yellow shimmer in it. It's definitely one of those must-have greens! I especially liked it because it reminds me so much of Limonyte by China Glaze, which I've been lemming for ages!

As much as I love this color, I hated applying the polish itself. I think it was a combination of the brush and the formula. The brush was very bristly and harsh, which dragged on the polish and didn't let me apply a smooth coat. The next issue I had was the formula. It was pretty thick and a bit on the goopy side. I had to carefuly apply 3-4 thin coats to get good coverage. It ended up being very messy since I couldn't reach near my cuticles easily. I actually had to re-do a couple of my nails because the application was so terrible and there was no saving it.

Here's a photo of I'm So Jaded, followed by a closeup of the thumbnail so you can see the shimmer:

I then decided to add a holographic topcoat on top called Hefesto by HITS. This topcoat looks amazing on just about anything and it adds a little extra in the sun :-) Here are some photos of I'm So Jaded with Hefesto on top!

What do you think? Do you like this combo?

Holo-y Flaky Goodness!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your holiday weekend! Today, I'm going to show you a look I did with three polishes from my recent haul: Pandora by Zoya, Twisted by Fingerpaints, and Hefesto by HITS. I'll start off with a preview of the look I created, photos of each polish and a brief description of each, and then some more photos of the look! I also have a video posted at the bottom so you get an idea of how it looks in person.

Check out all that flaky goodness! This is a picture in the shade. In the sun, you get a beautiful holo rainbow effect.

This is Pandora. It's a really pretty mauved light pink and the formula works like a dream. Two coats gives you full opacity.

This is Twisted.... very nice flaky polish! It has flashes of orange, yellow green, blue, and pink! I used 2 coats in this look.

This beauty is Hefesto.... amazing holo topcoat. You can apply a thin coat and end up with a strong holo effect over any color. I only used one coat. You can only get this at Llarowe to my knowledge.

Now... onto the look! It is unbelievably stunning in person and these photos DO NOT do it justice at all! I also added a video at the bottom for you to get an idea of how it looks. In the sun, you get a very strong rainbow effect from Hefesto and get random flaky flashes. In the shade, you don't see the holo effect but you see a lot of flakiness. Now, for the photos!

Not the greatest photo but this is a decent representation of how the flakiness shows in the shade. In person, the color is a pearly, mauved, light pink.

And here's the video! Enjoy!
