Camouflage & Holos

I was in the mood to do a foil the other day and this is what I came up with. The first time I tried this foil I used SH Going Green, but it was a little too bright as underwear. For this mani I used Avon Olive Green and it was the perfect match.


Here's Olive Green alone. OMG, this is some thick stuff. I only used 1 coat and it was totally opaque. It's has a muted out green effect that I'll have to get used to.

As promised here's swatch of Catherine Arley's 805. My first black holo! I'm very excited about this one. I was hoping it had more of a linear effect, but its still beautiful.

I'll post more swatches of the holo's soon. Have a great evening!

    thanks ladies :)

    @Varnish Vixen. The camo is a foil that you rub on, lol. So it was pretty easy :)

    Pleaseeeeeeee help me! ahahaha... Have you ordered your Arleys from beautycosmetic.biz?
    How did that transaction go? I have mailed them twice now and their english is so broken I can't be sure we have a deal or no! ahahah... how did you proceed to the checkout? They keep saying that I need to finish my order so that they can send me a paypal invoice but it never comes. Oh God, have mercy...

    @Oreleona. Thank you. You're too kind :)

    @Savvy, lol. I'm sorry =D


    @Beatlemarta. It was a little difficult getting started. Before I tell you how I ordered, I must first tell you that there are *several* reports of bloggers and MUA's receiving broken bottles of polish and the vendor refused to replace the bottles. Not to mention there was a 2 month delay to receive the polishes. So please ***proceed with caution and order at your own risk***

    Here are the steps to order the polishes:
    1 - Confirm/submit the polishes you want on their website
    2 - Email them the list of polishes you ordered, plus any additional polishes you want that are not available on their website (for instance the 800 series)
    3 - Request that they email you a paypal invoice. The paypal invoice will automatically convert the money to your Country's currency. They can't email you the invoice until you confirm your order on their website (step 1)

    Yeah, but ho do you confirm your order??
    It directs me to a paypal-like site that I don't know! And there are severel options on that site. I don't know what to do! :(

    I believe your order should be confirmed now. Email them and tell them you confirmed it.
