The Holo Hookup: January 2016

The Holo Hookup has a brand new quartet of sparkling delights to help ring in the new year! Keep reading to see more photos and my review of the "Love is in the Little Things" box, available for pre-order today.

Cupcake Polish First Kiss

Cupcake Polish "First Kiss" is a light orchid-pink with an ultra-linear holographic effect and a subtle metallic finish. This color is so sweet and lovely, and seriously bursting with rainbow awesomeness! The formula was excellent, and had a smooth, easy application that looked opaque in 2-3 coats. Pictured here is three coats plus top coat.

Different Dimension A Little Bit of Bubbly

Different Dimension "A Little Bit of Bubbly" is a holographic base filled with gold holographic micro-glitter and golden flecks, giving it a soft linear/scattered holo effect, a subtle foil-like finish, and tons of rainbow sparkle. I really love this shade of gold; it's a beautiful, light, "neutral" gold that's super wearable! This had a superb formula; it applied easily and looked even and opaque in just two coats. And the glitter laid very nicely, needing only one coat top coat to make smooth. Here I have on three coats with top coat.

Glisten & Glow Walks in Nature

Glisten & Glow "Walks in Nature" is a deep, rich emerald-green ultra-linear holographic filled with iridescent blue-violet sparkle. The color is so luxe and jewel-like, one of my favorite shades of green! The formula was wonderful, and looked smooth, even, with full coverage in 2-3 coats. I found it applied more evenly using slightly thicker coats. Shown here is three coats with top coat.

Polished by KPT Date Night

Polished by KPT "Date Night" is a charcoal-black soft linear holographic full of iridescent violet shimmer with a subtle pink/bronze shift. I love how beautifully dark and vampy this is, with an extra special something! Polished by KPT is this month's special guest contributor. This had a great formula that went on slightly thick but was easy to apply, and looked even, smooth, and opaque in about two coats. Pictured here is three coats with top coat.

This is another fantastic set of polishes, full of gorgeous and holo-tastic colors! The pre-order for The Holo Hookup's January "Love is in the Little Things"-themed box starts tonight at 9pm EST, and will be open through December 28th at 9pm EST. The Holo Hookup boxes will be available for $40 each, and will ship out by January 12th. What do you think of this month's colors, and which are your favorites?
