HITS No Olympo Poseidon Holo Blue Polish

This week I've had HITS No Olympo Poseidon on my fingernails.  It's a blue polish with a strong holographic effect.  I got it on llarowe.com.  I got hardly any shrinkage from the Seche Vite I used on top of Poseidon.  It didn't dull the holo effect, either.  My daily addition of a coat of Sally Hansen Quick Dry Top Coat has not dulled the holo, either, but it did cause significant tip shrinkage.  The polish has worn well, though.  So far today it's been 5 days of wear, and I have no chips.  Application was very easy and so was cleanup.  I would recommend this polish for "beginners."  I am still learning so much about polishing my nails, but applying this polish was easier and more foolproof than most polishes.  The polish applied evenly and dried quickly.  I liked the thinner brush.  As opposed to the OPI pro wide and other wide brushes, it's more like the old Revlon brushes.  I used one coat of Sally Hansen Age Correct Growth (discontinued), three coats of Poseidon (but it was fine at two coats), and a coat of Seche Vite, and I added a coat of Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat every day.  Below are some pictures.

Nail Mail: Holo Nail Polishes!

I got these polishes in the mail on Monday, and it was very exciting because everyone loves nail mail, I love holo polishes, and I had only just ordered these polishes from Llarowe three mailing days earlier!

I got three holo polishes from HITS:  Demeter, Hermes and Poseidon.  HITS is a Brazilian brand of polish. Llarowe is the U.S. stockist for the polish.  Demeter is an orange holo.  I love orange polishes, and this is my first orange holo, not that I've seen any orange holos anywhere else.  If anyone has seen any other orange holos, please let me know. Hermes is a taupe/gold holo.  Poseidon is a light blue holo, even though it looks a little darker in some pictures below.  Poseidon has a very strong holo, and the other two have weaker holo effects.  They are all very pretty, and I'm very pleased with them.  I worry when I order things online without having seen them, but these polishes lived up to all my expectations.

Demeter and Hermes were on sale on the Llarowe website for $9 each, and I paid $10 for Poseidon.  I paid no tax, and the shipping was $2.29 (and fast!).  Total for the order was $30.29.

Demeter is the orange swatch, below it is Hermes, and below that is Poseidon, which has a very strong holo effect.

Top to bottom:  Demeter, Hermes, and Poseidon.  Isn't that a gorgeous orange on Demeter?
