Hello my sweeties! Welcome to yet another Holo Humpday! Aren’t you impressed that I haven’t exhausted my holo stash yet?! I have quite the collection, so I definitely have enough to last for many more Holo Humpdays to come! Today’s featured holo is KBShimmer’s Men Are From Mars-ala.
As I’m sure you all know, Marsala was chosen as Pantone’s color of the year for 2015. When I initially saw swatches of this, I was not impressed. It seemed the kind of color that was very big for elderly ladies. But then KBShimmer put out their version, and oh did I change my mind! Men Are From Mars-ala is such a beautiful version of Marsala.
I had held off on buying this since I have so many red holos, but I’m so glad I gave in! It’s a more brick red with brown tones that leans orange-red in certain lighting. And it’s different from most of my other red holos!
I have a ton of pictures to show since it’s so beautiful!
I think the above swatch is probably the most accurate in terms of what Mars-ala looks like in most lighting.
The formula is perfection – it covers in 2 easy coats, and the linear holo is strong even in low lighting. I think this polish is such a beautiful earthy red! It’s a sexy red with a modern twist, and I think it would look good on everyone no matter your skin tone!
What do you think? Do you have this stunner? If not, you need it in your life!!
Love any holo polish so this is very nice.
Thank you! I love any holo as well… obviously π
Gorgeous swatches. I think this is the only polish that pulls off the color of the year off properly. KB Shimmer ftw!
I so agree! This is my favorite marsala polish!
Absolutely beautiful!

Yes, KBShimmer rocked the Marsala for real π

Thank you so much! I was so happy with how they came out π
And again, someone tries to convince me I really really need this, such a beauty!
That’s how I felt! I was slowly beat into submission with all the gorgeous swatches out there until I finally picked it up π It was so worth it though π
I’ve had this beauty in my wishlist since the first swatch I saw around. I really hope I can have it sometime π
