Color Club's "Revvvolution" is a really pretty black holo. I went shopping with my sister in laws last weekend and I was on a mission to find this one and I scoured the shelves of this beauty salon store only to come up empty handed... well I was telling my sister in law (future sister in law???) Bridget that I wanted this color and what it looked like and she found it buried behind a bunch of other colors on the display! Go Bridget!!I like this color but I really was hoping for a stronger holo affect. It's holo, don't get me wrong but I wanted more. In the sunshine this color does look like an oil slick, it's sort of subtle but it's really beautiful. I think I need to get my hands on Diamond Cosmetics "Chainmail Charm" I think, from the photos I have seen, that one has a stonger more prominent holo affect.
The formula on this is fine. It was easy to work with. I make a mess with dark colors and I did with this one too. I had lots of clean up which is fine but since it's dark I have a bit of staining. Oh well.
I am still on the hunt for the perfect holo. What's your favorite?!?
i love it- too bad the sun's not shining here so no holo's for me...
ReplyDeletei somehow am drawn to black holos and got revvvolution, chainmail charm, bloom's mena and the original(holo version of) opi's my private jet and I can't see an end of my black holo lemmings ^^
I love those grey, melatticy colors! They're so versatile.
ReplyDeleteI agree Tennsley! They're awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteAmused - I love them too! How do you think Chainmail Charm compares to this one? I think it looks much better. Ohhh I am jealous you have the original fantastic MPJ!
I have chain mail charm and the holo effect between the two is better on Chainmail. "Revv" is nice, I just love holo's on dark polishes, so nice!...but neither of them beat out my holo version of MPJ..that is a stunner!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie! MPJ really is a stunner! What were they thinking changing it?! I am so mad about it. Wish I could find it!
ReplyDeletei agree with jackie- chainmail charm is a tad more holo than rev..... i was lucky enough to get it(MPJ) in a swap and would never give it away, maybe still wearing it when I'm old :P
ReplyDeleteYour blog is making me venture into other brands besides OPI. Yay!
ReplyDeleteThanks amused!!
ReplyDeleteEmilyanne, YAY! I am so glad! There's great big world beyond OPI! Enjoy!
Oh I love this one. Too bad it wasn't as holo as you wanted though. I have a few of the other CC holo's and I love them! I think my favorite is Love Em Leave Em or Wild at Heart.
ReplyDeleteMaria, I will have to check those out. I need to get my hands on a nice purple holo!
ReplyDeleteawesome song :D awesome polish!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I agree on both counts!
