Some of you know that this month of May is my Indie Polish buying month. I was late to jump on the Indie Bandwagon, so I had to declare a month to purchasing them. lol..
So far, I have been able to snag some polishes, and I still can't get some because of the Shortage and out-of-stock-ness of them. *sigh*. No ranting here, because I understand that the Indie Polish makers aren't like big companies that can produce in masses.
Anyhoo, When I had the opportunity to buy some polishes from All That Glitters, One of the ones I got was one that was really appealing to me based on the swatches I saw online.
This is called Hole Hearted. I has white heart-shaped glitters, small and medium black hexagonal glitters suspended in a clear base.
I layered One coat over an Orange Polish from the Runway Set by The New Black.
Now, for my Review of Hole Hearted. Truthfully, I'm NOT in Love with this polish. :-(
I like the concept of the polish, but I don't love the polish.
The heart glitters definitely had to be "fished" out of the bottle. The black glitters weren't so nice either. As you can see on my nails, the glitters aren't "even" on each nail.
I tried to make this look nice, I really tried to rationalize WHY I needed to love the polish. Thought of How many want it, and how I'm so lucky to have "snagged" it. BUT all of my effort proved futile and I had to take down the mani after only about 2 hours.
Looking at these pictures, I'm like, well it's not "bad". But I just couldn't get into it. I have heart shaped glitters in nail art wheels that I could have placed on my nails, and used like a different (dollar store) black glitter or something to achieve this same look for less.
I hate to sound this way about a polish that most people want... but not everything is for everybody, so this baby will most likely be in a swap soon. So it's in a home where someone can show and give it some Whole Hearted love. LOL..
Anyhoo, that's it for now.
Till later, God Bless.
Such a shame about hole hearted as it does look beautiful :(
ReplyDeleteIt looks great on the photos, but too bad that you didn´t like it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks cool and I really like the heart glitter pieces, but if you have to fish out the glitter... ehhhh...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I always pass on glitters like this where it seems like the main attraction (in this case, the hearts) are going to be fished out. That, and I just don't like large white glitter pieces unless they're in a jelly. They're just stand out too much.
ReplyDeleteI might be shot by saying this but I'm over this glitter thing...Seems like 90% of indie polishes are glitter and it's getting kind of boring and everything starts looking the same. I had the same reaction with one of my heart glitters also, I was super excited when I bought it but once applied, I was like oh, it's not all that and took it off right away. And don't make me get into removing the bigger glitters...I literally had to scrape it off my nails! The classic orange and black looks great together though!
ReplyDeleteat least you're honest! (:
ReplyDeletei don't have very many heart glitters, so i'm really excited about finding polishes with hearts in them :D i'm sure it's just a phase, but i'm loving it for now! :D
It definitely doesn't look bad, but I can see what you mean about the glitter. I do like the black, but the hearts being more prevalent would've been nice. I'm still hoping June or July can be my indie months, if I could just quit going to the store and blowing all my money on nail polish there first...
