Elevation Polish Epidote Swatch And Review

With daylight savings, it's been difficult getting LO to bed on time.  She's been playing "who can stay up longer" with me, and sometimes she wins!

Oh and I got my holographic wallet!  I originally wanted a smoother finish but I realized that the textured finish was probably more durable and less prone to scratching.  Don't you love it?  Now, all I need are my holographic flats to arrive and I'll be a happy camper.





Speaking of holographic finishes, I had to pull out Elevation Polish Epidote, a spring green linear holo that applied smoothly and easily without streaking.  I heard some people grumble about the general formula of Elevation holos, and I have to admit I have no idea what they're complaining about.  I used three coats here although two may have been sufficient for shorter nails.  No topcoat so you can see it's natural finish which is fairly glossy on its own.

I love this shade of green, it's so perfect for the upcoming season.  There's a hint of gold shimmer in there as well, and it really helps give this color the illusion of sunlight dappling off blades of fresh spring grass.  If I had more time I would do some stamping over this but since LO tried so hard to beat me at her game tonight, I have less "me" time than usual.  Little scamp.  Overall, I'm loving this green holo and it makes me want to go out and get all the green holos out there.  Moar, moar moar!

  1. I didn't know there were grumblings about Elevation holos....I have Echinops the purple-y lavender one and I don't remember having any trouble with it....

    Sounds like yet another reason we don't need the time change any more!! :O

    1. Not sure where I read it, maybe on MUA? Could have been a one case incident, but indeed, I had no issues with this formula at all. Echinops is a gorgeous color as well!

  2. This is such a funky shade of green but I like it! It's really unique and pretty. Your wallet is awesome! The color shift is beautiful.
