We were recently discussing Christmas and I told him 'you can't go wrong with nail polish' lol. So he told me to make a list, which I did and of course included all the obligatory hard to find and retired polishes, with a little addition at the end of the list - Spectraflair.
So last night he comes home and sets a little bottle down on the table. It looks like a pretty silvery holo powder. But he tells me it's not Spectraflair and that he can't get it here, but this stuff is pretty close. So I immediately ran upstairs to grab my franken supplies.
I mixed it with a random topcoat. Definitely not Spectraflair but still really cool. It immediately reminded me of China Glaze's Fairy Dust but I made it more dense.
1. 1 coat Sally Hansen Celeb City, 3 coats Holo Auto Paint
2. 4 coats Holo Auto Paint
3. 1 coat Black Creme, 1 coat Holo Auto Paint
4. 1 coat Black Creme, 2 coats China Glaze Fairy Dust
5. 1 coat Black Creme, 2 coats Holo Auto Paint
The particles are bigger than Fairy Dust and the holo is almost linear at some angles. I tried mixing it with a grey creme polish but it didn't work. I thought I would like it best over silver but I prefer the one on it's own. Sadly I don't think that will translate on the nail.
My boyfriend says they do have a finer grade as well he will try to get for me and I've asked him to find out the name of it. He did get me a nice size free sample of this. Damn, if he brings me home shit like this just randomly then I can only imagine what I'll find for Christmas!
Oh and just as an aside, he was laughing his ass off at me while I was taking photos of my nail wheel. But that's okay because his Star Wars obsession is way beyond my nail polish obsession lol.

So awesome! Did you ever find out the name of the pigment?
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't, sorry. He asked the supplier for Spectraflair and they said this stuff was similar but didn't give the name.
