Hello sweeties and happy Holo Humpday! I hope everyone in the cold Northeast is staying as warm as can be with Juno bearing down on you. Today I have a stunningly complex holo to share. I picked up WingDust’s Steel Town Girl probably over a year ago, and I can’t believe this was the first time I’ve worn it!
I bought Steel Town Girl for a few reasons: 1- it’s gorgeous duh, 2- I had never tried WingDust polish, and 3- I now live in Pittsburgh, aka the Steel City, which makes me a Steel Town Girl! So this polish and I are truly a match made in heaven!
WingDust Steel Town Girl
Now that picture doesn’t do STG enough justice. It’s a deep steely blue-grey almost teal jelly with a scattered holographic base and infused with blue iridescent flakes/ shards and 23 karat gold flakies. In person this is fully opaque, but you can see nail line in the above pic. I used three coats in this mani. Every now and again, I came across a shard that wouldn’t lie flat, but that was rare.
I love how complex this polish is! Kirby (The Mercurial Magpie) recently did a mani layering holos and multiple flakies (check out her Flakies on Fleek post), and after I shut my drooling wide-open mouth I decided I needed to wear something like that immediately! I took multiple polishes out, and then a light bulb went on – I own something similar, and it’s only ONE polish with that effect! So Steel Town Girl = Flakies on Fleek 🙂
Closeup of WingDust Steel Town Girl… and MIC DROP!
That closeup there really represents what this polish looks like in real life. Holo with depth, flakies everywhere, and just general beauty on the nail! I mean, so pretty! I love this one so much.
What do you think? Do you love polishes with more than one special effect? Or are you a polish purist? Have you tried layering these types of polishes before?
Oooh, this is really pretty! And you’re right, it’s definitely a similar effect! Love those gold flakes ❤
Thanks!! The gold flakes totally make it pop 🙂 I still want to do a layered effect like you did – I have so many of those ILNP flakies that would work perfectly!
Beautiful
Thanks 🙂
Your more than welcome huni
This is so gorgeous and I’m drooling over here!
Haha thank you! The drool effect was totally why I bought this one 🙂
Just stunning! The little bits of flakie and shards to it adds something different.
Thank you! I agree – it makes it more unique with all the different finishes 🙂
I love this! It has so much depth, especially since the gold pops against the darker background and looks like its meant to be there at the same time. Your macro shot is phenomenal .
Yeah, the jelly holo base helps with that depth! And it doesn’t fully cover the flakies/ gold shards either. Thanks!! 🙂
This is an awesome looking polish! So unique!
Thank you – I love it so much!
Steel Town Girl is absolutely gorgeous! I need to go hunt this down ASAP!
Yes! Make her yours!!
Ohh my, that polish is amazing!! I didn’t think I liked flakies but yeah, this polish might have change my mind. It’s so pretty!!
Yay – I’m glad you like it! It’s a beauty 🙂
Woah that closeup shot!
So many things happening in this shade, all of them stunning.
Thanks! I was super happy with how that macro turned out 🙂
Daaaamn girl, that close up! So so so good.
Haha thanks! I’m proud of how it came out 🙂
These flakies are way too big for my taste but oh that base!!
I hear ya – the flakies are definitely on the larger side and not for everyone. But more for me 🙂
This is gorgeous! It definitely accomplishes that layering combo of Kirby’s all in one polish!
Thanks!! I really love this one!
