One week of possibilities : Essie Lapis of Luxury Day 6 Holo Fest

I have decided to experiment a little bit this week. I chose a nail polish, Essie Lapis of Luxury and I'll try and use it to post a different combo each day until sunday.
Today, to end the week on a colorful and sparkly note, I have more than one layering, here they are :

Overall :
OPI DS Sapphire is perfect over Lapis of Luxury, it's really something...
But once again, I just love the glitter/holo combo, Simmer and Shimmer somehow enhances the scattered holo of Kaleidoscope him Out making it stand out even more, although in a totally different way. As for the Last Friday Night / Catherine Arley layering, I must say that I really have a soft spot for it, it's probably my favorite this week!


Now, I promised you a little surprise, here it is :
I don't really take myself seriously in real life but that might not always translate on my blog so I decided to show you this week's huge fails!!!

    I really enjoyed this week and may even incorporate something like this myself someday!

    My personal fav' must be with Essie Kisses & Bises + OPI I Juggle Men.

    I love the base colour and I think all of the combos are awesome but my favourite is definitely the matte flakies! Although the holo combos are super pretty as well :)

    All are beautiful, even with OPI's not like the movies. My favourites are lapis alone and the versions with DS sapphire and the flakies.

    I liked *very* much last versions you made (especially "Not Like The Movies" it's better with two coats), maybe I have weird tastes?

    Ah, I've already written the comment and then accidentaly changed the site ... I'm awesome.

    This themed week was really great, you have really awesome ideas! Although I love them all - I mean, different shimmers and holo, what can be wrong here? - the one with the white shatter really steals the show for me. It looks so gorgeous, so tender, like cloudy sky, it's perfect, I really love it. I don't think i could pull it off with Crackle Glaze though, sadly. The only one that really didn't suit me is the one with Not Like In The Movies, it looks kinda weid.

    Awesome week, I vote for another one with different colour! :)
