Incoco Paradox

Incoco Paradox is a lovely purple glitter gradient.  It was easy to apply like most Incoco appliques I've tried.  I do think this one needs a little bit of topcoat, because the design makes it look a bit 3D, but that was only my appreciation, perhaps it is intended to be that way.  The glitter was not rough or gritty at all, it was consistent with other Incoco glitter appliques, very smooth.  I loved the color combination and how sparkly it was, this has holographic microglitter that is hard to capture in the pictures.

Barielle Some Like it Hot Collection

This set retails for less than what the five nail polishes would cost by themselves.  I think it's a very good deal considering the quality of Barielle nail polishes.  You can find it under "kits" or by clicking here.  I definitely liked the formula on these, it was consistent with other Barielles I've tried.  The colors are very basic, except for the shimmery green, which seemed to be out of place, but it was a pleasant surprise.  Sunshine (yellow) is by far the best yellow I have, yellows are notorious for their bad formula, but this was the exception for me.  It has some shimmer but you can only see a bit of it in the sun and in macro pictures, I'd say to the human eye this is a creme.  Life of the Party (Pink) is very similar to Deborah Lippmann I Kissed a Girl, this is a girly bright pink, love the formula as well.  Surf's Up (Blue) is a great color; unfortunately, it temporarily stained my nails after removal.  Gotta Have Fate (Orange) is gorgeous for summer, very easy to apply, almost a one-coater.  Lily of the Valley (green) was my favorite of the set.  It has a great gold and green shimmer, I bet this would be perfect for Christmas.  Overall, with the exception of Surf's Up, I think this set is wonderful if you are looking for basic colors with great formula.

Shimmer Liana

Liana is a newer Shimmer color.  This navy glitter is packed with smaller black glitter, which gives it a perfect coverage at two coats.  If you like darker colors, then this is for you.  It also has holographic bits and medium dark blue hexagons, but these are sparse.  For the gradient shown below I added a couple of extra hexagonal glitters by picking them with an orange stick.  The formula was consistent with all the other Shimmers I've tried, and the quality of the glitter was superb.

Butter London Scouse (Dillard's Exclusive)

This gorgeous shade is a vibrant glittery blue that has purple particles in there as well.  It is a Dillard's exclusive, and you can get it by visiting their stores or their website.  Stunning, if I had to describe it in one word.  Scouse is the perfect blend of electrifying blue and sparkly violet.  I think I could have gotten away with two coats, but as I added the third, there was definitely more color and glitter payoff, so I suggest three.  Like all Butter London nail lacquers, this applies like a dream and dries super fast.

Incoco Zig

This gorgeous glitter provided by Incoco is simply stunning.  When you look at it up close you see the cute pattern, and from a certain distance all the colors come together into one unique blend.  This sparkles a lot more than I thought from looking at the pictures on the website.  This one is part of the new Summer Collection.  This looks great with a simple summer dress, a very good way to decorate your nails, and since they are so resistant to chipping, you can certainly wear them at the beach or any other event.

Jade Hypnose is the best linear holographic light blue I have seen so far

I though that after Ozotic 515 things couldn't get any better with holographic blues.  I was so wrong.  I am in love with these Jades.  I'm going to tell you why this is better, the color is so rich and intense, that i barely needs the two coats.  In the sun, it's almost neon.  The holographic effect is about the same as the Ozotic, but for some reason this has a golden tint to it that I love.  It is super shiny, no topcoat needed, and it dries fast.
