If any car guys are reading this right now, you will know what I mean when I say SpectraFlair. For those who don't, well SpectraFlair is a holographic pigment they put in paint that has a prismatic rainbow effect as the viewing angle changes. For awhile, indie polish makers were able to get their hands on this powder and were making nail polishes out of it. Then it was banned. I managed to get my hands on a bottle of a SpectraFlair topcoat off ebay a few months ago (yes, I'm just now wearing it). You can use this on top of any nail polish and it will give it a holographic effect, although very dark colors work best. Let me also say that nail polish makers are still using holographic pigments but just not specifically SpectraFlair because it is not FDA approved and illegal to use in nail polishes, oh snap!
What I used:
2 coats of NYC Bowery Black (top left pic of it by itself)
1 coat of SpectraFlair Holo Top Coat
on my ring fingers, I used 2 coats of an unnamed holo glitter made I got at Forever 21
This manicure goes crazy in direct sunlight and the pics are shown in different lights. Unfortunately, I have none in the direct sunlight because we had no sun today! We had some for a brief moment and right as I was about to take the pic, it disappeared behind the clouds and never returned. Boo.
