Mentality Neon Holos and Animal Print

inspired by Robin Moses go see it here. I haven't mastered striping brushes yet, so I did the print with a dotting tool and Cult Nails Nevermore, a deep rich black that is no longer available.
I used a white base underneath and Seche Vite on top. Every time I look at my hands I get happy!



Even my right hand got into the act!

Only a bit of holo showing in sunlight- needs two coats for rainbow goodness

Mentality Crystalchromes- only the beginning

There's a new flakie in town, and only Mentality Polish has them! Crystalchromes are a new glass/ceramic hybrid flake that changes color, is opaque on its own, yet translucent enough that it glows nearly 3-D. They apply easily, and clean up is a breeze. I grabbed a few pieces with my tweezers and they "crunch" almost like when you break into a sand dollar. So, not polyester, nor metallic, nor polish based like the new multichrome flakies everyone has these days, these are pigment/mineral in appearance. There are four colors, and a fifth with the four combined. Here is that mashup, called Panorama, over a pale gray cream. One heavy coat of  Poshe over makes it pretty smooth. You can find these lovelies here.

One and two coats of each

Mentality Neon Holos Hit a Home Run!!

I stupidly preordered only seven of these beauties, I WILL be going back for the rest! I have no idea how neon holos can be so rich and dense, and how she makes them for under $7 each (shipped free right now) but I'm telling you, these are PHENOMENAL polishes for summer! Two coat perfection, vivid and shimmering with a very subtle holo, kind of like ice crystals under the surface. Cannot get enough of these. Go. Buy. Here. I'm wearing Shake and Alarm in the two color mani and an assortment in the next. Although these do not dry completely matte like most holos, nor are they chalky, I top coat anyway as I like to wear them for a few days. The rainbow mani was removed after three full days with only a little tip wear, no chipping.
