I know how cruel of me to leave you hanging.
Well here you are more pictures of #119 and it's dark holo sexiness!
Oh yes the base is black, not charcoal or brown.
Pardon my super dry gucky hands, these were at the end of the swatchfest and the acetone had taken it's toll
I left the last to giant so you can click and see the holo
Now the comparison.
I thought it would be helpful to compare #119 to Color club Revvvolution and Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail charm. (Sorry I don't have OPI MPJ origional holo to compare)
Golden Rose #119 is on my Index finger, CC Revvvolution on my middle and DC Chainmail charm on my ring finger. Obviously #119 has a much darker base than both.
The holo in #119 is more like Chainmail charm in my opinion
Here you can tell that Chainmail has a more brown base than the other two but the holo is smoother.
I think that the dark base absorbs the light more so making photographing the holo a PITA. In real life #119 is as holo as the other two but more like the holo in OPI Designer Series holo's.
I have finally found my perfect Black holo, but the other two are different enough for me to keep all three.
Of course you would track down a true black holographic for us! Quite beautiful! :*
ReplyDeleteGolden Rose FTW! 8-)
ReplyDeletethats golden rose is gorgeous black holo.. :* thanks for sharing this with us.. xoxo
ReplyDeleteAAAGGHHH!!!! I need it! Thanks for the great post!

ReplyDeleteOooh so pretty! I just got Chainmail and do really love it.
ReplyDeleteWow, so pretty. Add that one to my wish list!
ReplyDeleteBlack....Holo....
ReplyDelete:::dies:::
As a holo and a black lacquer lover, this one is definitely on my "to buy" list!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask a favor? Pretty please...would you post an example of this holo as a Konad stamp? It doesn't have to be on your nails. A piece of paper or plastic will do just fine.
MPJ original and Chainmail Charm don't stamp as dark as I'd like.
I will swatch a stamp with it today and post it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it awesomeness! 8-)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitly getting a back up or 7 of this.

Thanks for the comparison! (and posting about Golden Rose the other day!) The notion of a true black base is bewitching me. I forsee an order in my near future, lol.
ReplyDelete:-PThat is a gorgeous holo! Very pretty. Thanks for the comparisons. I have Revvolution so I didn't feel as if I needed the other one. Very tempting. Looks fabulous on you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know you aren't to happy about your new length but I honestly think it looks great on you!
Thank you Lovie, I'm trying not to hate it too much. *DONT_KNOW*
ReplyDeleteWhy is Claire's Dream Catcher Swatch in the tags? Haha, is it for more views or an accident. I just caught it and was curious why it was on there. I have Chainmail Charm and I definitely think it's one of the better out of the three. Definitely better than Revvvolution.
ReplyDelete*grabby hands* WANT
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that I don't own any holos :( in the meantime I'll live vicariously through your posts, haha
