I was researching Jessica Smoky Feather<\/a> nail polish, when I bumped into Jessica<\/strong> Hologram Chic set<\/strong>. Hologram? Set? I need to know more. :D<\/p>\n

I became totally obsessed with this set and sent out bunch of emails to see where could I buy it. Guess what – it was sold out and our importer did not have this limited edition set. It’s mild to say that I was terribly disappointed. <\/p>\n

Few weeks went by and Heavy Petal LE<\/a> came to Slovenia. But what instantly raised my blood pressure was sideline info … and we received few of the Hologram Chic sets too<\/em>. YES! <\/p>\n

I was seriously impatient to try out this combo. Why? I’ve been hearing a lot that true linear holographic polishes almost disappeared because new formula (B3F) does not agree with the “holo powder”. And since Jessica is B3F<\/abbr> and cruelty free to boot …<\/p>\n

You get Retro Revival (water based base coat) and Disco Diva (silver linear holographic nail polish) in a white box with holographic Jessica logo and name of the set.
\nInstructions: apply 2 coats of Retro Revival hologram base coat, followed by 2 coats of Disco Diva. Do not use a top coat.<\/p>\n

First I applied Retro Revival base coat<\/strong> (only one layer ). Those of you who are familiar with this kind of formula, know how annoying it is to apply true holos over regular base coats. I love the shine of water based base coats and Retro Revival gets a plus for more pleasant smell when compared to Nfu-Oh Aqua Base.<\/p>\n

I used 2 coats of Disco Diva<\/strong> and was very pleasantly surprised to see that application was piece of cake. Verdict? It’s a holographic nail polish in the true sense – linear holo all the way. Which basically means that it looks silver in the shade, has pretty (but not strong) holographic finish when exposed to daylight bulbs … and “wow” effect in the sun.<\/p>\n

If you are linear holo fan, then you are going to enjoy in this close up photo of holographic effect. <\/p>\n

This set does not come cheap – 24 USD in USA and 26 EUR if you buy it from our distributor. In the end I received this set as a gift from the kind couple who imports Jessica.
\nBut as I did go to their office with intention of buying the set, the price was obviously still acceptable to me. I would rather see whole color range of linear holos sold individually from Jessica though. Hopefully Hologram Chic set was just a teaser. <\/p>\n

Anyone else who got this set and would like to see more holos from Jessica?<\/strong><\/p>\n
