Why hello again my sweeties! It’s time for another Holo Humpday, and I am SO excited to show you this one. I took a chance with this polish from KBShimmer because chartreuse has the potential to look terrible on me. But I don’t own ANYTHING like it, so I had to buy Ins And Sprouts from the recent Spring 2015 collection!
I mean, WHOA baby! And this totally deserves a Joey from Blossom “Whoa!” C’mon – you 90s children know what I’m talking about right?
So yeah, this polish is amazing! Surprisingly enough, I adore the color. I’m usually not a huge chartreuse fan, but this baby called to me when I first saw swatches of the Spring collection. First, Christy was calling this an ultra-holo and how on earth could I deny myself an ultra-holo?! And then the beautiful swatches came – it seemed like it looked perfect on everyone! So I had to try it!
YAAAAS! It’s this odd light yellow-green chartreuse, which doesn’t sound beautiful. But dayumn, it really is! It’s like the kind of chartreuse you’d see in the iridescent yellow-green Easter basket grass, but it’s so flattering and unique on the nail.
And that holo! I think this totally qualifies as an ultra-holo. The linear flame is crazy intense – I mean I had no sun to work with, so all these pics are indoors and the holo is still amazing!
Check out the closeup too:
Love. Just plain love this! Plus the formula is perfect – it’s opaque in 1-2 coats depending on the thickness. The 2nd coat intensifies the color and holo effect.
What do you think? Did you pick up any of the KBShimmer ultra-holos or any of the other Spring polishes?
Ok off-topic now… my husband just stole my computer when I left the room and added some lovely notes lol. I debated deleting it, but I wanted to show you how adorably silly my man is. In case you’re just here for the polish, feel free to stop reading and just appreciate the pretty pictures! I’ll leave you with the daily David Tennant, and then Mr. Doctor Crafty’s note will be below ๐

Evil-Joyful Laugh! Hello, Everyone! Your friend is in the other room doing other-things. I wanted to say two thoughts about my special lady friend:
1. Dr C hardly ever lets me touch her laptop. This is more laptop touches than I’ve had all month! This is the truth-speaking.
2. I wanted to say thank youย for all the love you show Dr C. WHY? ??
When she started getting into nail art, well, at first I was skeptical. I thought it was, hmmm? “Why is this love person making very tiny paintings? Why does she not make me ham sammich?”
I have come to see nail art something akin to Tibetan mandalas, impermanent meditations that live in the moment. The designs can beย beautiful, but fleeting.
I have come to see nail art as “real” art, highly creative and skillful. There are so many techniques, textures, tools, and techniques to consider. Within what I thought was a small niche, there is a world of possibilities.
I have come to see nail art as social – and this is where you come in. Dr C loves seeing what you have come up with, and sharing what she does.
IN CONCLUSION
Now that I haveย nail art, she even paints my toes!
Surprise Hooray!
So yeah, I married that man. Silly sweet man ๐
Oh, Joey! KB’s holos are universally lovely – I’ve yet to be disappointed by even those colours I wasn’t too jazzed about (a rusty one has turned out to be one of my favourite polishes.)
KBShimmer really does know how to do a holo right! These ultra-holos are sublime ๐
What a lovely color on this holo. I don’t think I own a color like it too.
It’s such a unique color! I’m so glad I own it now ๐
Great pictures! What does ultra-holo mean?
Thanks! I think ultra-holo just means that there’s extra spectraflair making the holo pop like crazy.
A totally swoonworthy polish!
I so agree! Swoon for sure ๐
I love the name, and that holo…one word Wowzers!
Right?! Everything about this polish makes me happy!
A. This polish is gorgeous! It’s so pretty on you too!
B. I wanna ruffle Tennant’s hair
C. Awww…your hubs is so sweet! Now go make him a ham sammich!
Thank you – I was so happy how it ended up on me! YES ruffling Tennant’s hair is totally something that I could die happy after doing! But I’ll totally keep the hubs (and he has a ham sammy coming up!) ๐
Haha, your husband is rad! I just got this in the mail today, in fact. I took advantage of their recent sale to pick up a few holos and lotions.
Oh yay! I hope you like this polish as much as I do!
Isn’t my hubs the best? He keeps me laughing! I’ll keep him ๐
This color is amazing!
Thank you! I think it’s an amazing polish too ๐
Wow, that polish is really pretty! This post is filled with so much awesome haha (:
Thank you ๐ I’m glad you like the post! How can you go wrong with a pretty polish, a 90s heartthrob, and a silly hubby?
Now I’m having all the regrets now grabbing this one while it was on sale! It looks so beautiful!
Oh girl you need it, sale or no sale! It’s fantastic!
How sweet of your husband to hack your post! ๐
This shade is lovely, it reminds me of a Layla holo but I just can’t focus which one atm!
I do love this shade so much – it’s so unique!
The hubby is a sweet silly man… I’ll keep him:)
Awww, your husband is so sweet! And yes, ultra-holo is a beautiful finish you cannot deny yourself.
I want to pick up all the rest of the ultra-holos now. I hope she puts out more!
The hubby is sweet – I got myself a good one ๐
Ins & Sprouts is so perfect on you!!!! I need to wear it again because when I photographed it on my nails, it turned my skin beet red!!! Oh boy, how I would LOVE to ruffle Mr. Tennant’s hair *swoon*
You’re hubby is hysterical!! I’m so happy he appreciates what you do and your nail art!! Mine likes me to give him manis and pedis but always says “Don’t put that clear stuff on my nails because it flakes off and makes me look like I have a disease” that’s a man for ya! HAHAHA!!
Thank you! I adore this polish!
Yeah, ruffling Tennant’s hair would be a total life-changing moment!!
I totally picked a good hubby – he keeps life interesting and silly! And yours lets you do his nails too?! Amazing men right?
Whoa! This polish is glorious!
Thank you!! I love it so hard ๐
Ohhhh pretty!! This is such a nice and fresh shade for spring!
Thanks! It really is perfection for spring ๐
