Color Club Fashion Addict (Pic Heavy)

I was in the mood for a cheerful nail polish and what better choice than a holographic! So with that in mind I chose Color Club Fashion Addict from the Catwalk Queen collection. Fashion Addict is a gorgeous lavender holographic!

I used a coat of OPI Nail Hardener for my base coat and then applied two coats of Fashion Addict. It was opaque in one coat but I wanted a second coat to add 'depth' to the colour. Application was a breeze meaning almost no clean up. I knew I would wear this manicure for a long time single I love holographic polishes so much so I added a coat of Seche Vite. The Seche Vite changed the colour slightly, making Fashion Addict a few shades darker and I definitely noticed a diminished holographic effect. Before I added the top coat it had the usual linear holographic effect but all a scatter effect on either side of the linear effect. However once I added the top coat there was only the linear holographic effect. Normally I wouldn't have noticed the difference but my Mum saw my nails and wanted to try the same colour and then later we were comparing and that's when I saw the differences.

Any who, these photo's were taken in artificial light but it was really hard to capture the holographic effect accurately in this light.

The following day I took photos in the sunlight. There's lots of photos to make up for the crappy ones in artificial light.

I like these two photos because the first one shows the holographic effect the moment the top half of my index and middle fingers. Then the second photo was taken in with very little sunlight.

*DROOL*!! I love holographic! I love purple! I love Fashion Addict! I know that some people have said they have a version of Fashion Addict that has almost no holographic effect but mine seems to be quite strong - ignoring the artificial light photos because the holographic effect was still very strong in that light too. There's nothing more to say I love everything about this nail polish!
