HITS Hermes

Happy Wednesday Peeps!

Unfortunately, I don’t have a Pink Wednesday mani for you today because I am highly unorganized and haven’t remembered to do one in a while. But what I do have is a lovely holo: HITS Hermes.

Hermes is of course one of the beautiful holos from HITS’ No Olimpo Collection. It’s a golden-tan linear holo, and it’s probably the tamest holo that I own. That being said, it’s not my favorite color because I think it’s too close to my skin tone. And in case you haven’t noticed, I tend to go more for colors that have a little pop to them 🙂

If you work somewhere that has restrictions on what colors you can wear on your nails, I’d say this could be a very work-appropriate holo. In the pics below I used 2 coats. Like the other holos in this collection, it applied like a dream and dried fairly quickly. Peep it:

So how do you feel about holos that are kind of tame like this?

You can purchase it and the other lovelies from the No Olimpo Collection from llarowe for $10.

That’s all for today my loves. Have a happy hump day!

Hits No Olimpo Demeter

Hey Peeps! Happy Friday!

It’s 11/11/11 and it’s Veteran’s Day!

*My dear Uncle Charles recently passed away, and he was a Vietnam Vet, so today’s post is dedicated to him*

Anyhow, today I have another yummy polish from the Hits No Olimpo collection. It’s called Demeter and it’s an amazing orange holo!

I was so excited when I first saw pics of this lovely so I hopped right on over to Llarowe and ordered it. I mean, it’s an orange holo, how could I not?!

I’m gonna stop talking and let you view this baby for yourself.  In the pics below I used 2 lovely coats. They all look similar, but you can see the holo goodness a little better in each one. Peep it:

I love this orange holo! Nom nom nom! 🙂

What do you lovelies think of this? Are you loving it as much as I am?

If you are, you can buy it  from Llarowe for $10.

Have a fantastic Friday and don’t forget to hug a Veteran!

Hits No Olimpo – Hera

Happy Sunday Peeps!

Sorry I’ve been really sporadic with my posts lately. I have a bunch of swatches that I’ve done, but I just haven’t been able to find the time to edit pics and write posts. I need to get back in the habit of scheduling all of my posts for the week during the weekend.

Anyway, today I have an absolutely amazing holo beauty for you from Hits Speciallita.

I’d honestly never heard of this brand until I saw the lovely Leah Ann posting pics on Twitter of their new polishes that she now carries in her shop Llarowe. I guess it’s a Brazilian brand and apparently they make insanely amazing holos!

They have a collection out called No Olimpo, which is full of awesome holos named after Greek gods. The one I have for you today is called Hera.

Hera is a turquoise, linear holo beauty. Its mmmmmazing! And you know what? It’s pretty close to being a dupe for China Glaze DV8! Exciting right?

Anyhow, enough with the words and on to the pics. I used 2 coats in the pics below and the formula was super smooth and easy to control.  Peep the holo goodness:

Check out the holographic label on the bottle. Cool right?

And here’s Hera compared to China Glaze DV8…

.

Hera is on the left and DV8 is on the right

DV8 is on my index and ring and Hera is on my middle and pinky

In the pics you can see that they’re not quite dupes because Hera is a bit darker than DV8 and the holo pattern is different. On the nail wheel they look pretty darn close to being dupes though.

Either way, I say that Hera is a good cure for a DV8 lemming. Plus you can get it for only $10 from Llarowe.

I’m super in love with Hera. I wore it on my nails all week and I did not have one single chip. This stuff wears like iron. It’s insane.

What do you lovelies think of Hera? Do you agree that it may cure a DV8 lemming or are they not close enough for you? Have you heard of Hits before?

Let me know your thoughts and enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂
