I'm still really happy about my swap with Luciana from Brazil and this is another beauty I got - Hits Aphrodite. Like many women, it's really beautiful but not worth the trouble :D :D :D And I'll tell you why...
Aphrodite - rose pink holographic polish. It's a lovely dark pink holo shade but why is it not worth the trouble? Because the formula sucks big time! It's literally like a glue, gloopy and it is patchy! This is my second attempt to apply it as the first one failed. And now imagine when I've spent quite a lot not only on the polish but also on the postage which was extortionate (not Luciana's fault) and the bottle has just 6ml. 6ml!!! That's like for four applications and if the first one fails you loose like quarter of the polish! I've tried some other shades from No Olimpo collection and they seemed to be ok so WHY there is such a difference in formula? Ok rant over, let's get back to reviewing...
Polish dries fast and smells quite funny. Not like usual nail polish, I can't describe it. The brush is really wide, for me too wide. OPI brush is the widest I can stand :-/ I don't really know how to tell if it's linear or scattered holo (please don't stone me) so I can't tell you which one it is :D But the effect is strong enough to be a nice holo effect. It is not strong as Nfu Oh or CHG OMG collection but it's ok.
Unless you really, really love the colour, don't buy this shade! Formula was awful and it's not worth your money! Other shades are ok but not this one.
If you won't be doing a swap with somebody from Brazil, you can buy Hits polishes from Llarowe for $10 or from Ninja Polish for 8$ (but mostly Out of Stock).
You have lovely nails and you've done a beautiful job but it just shows it isn't worth the money.
ReplyDeleteI'd call it a glitter holo. It's SO not a linear holo and that is the only holo I'll go out of my way for.
Very informative. Thank you.
This is such a pretty colour but sucks about the application, I just hate it when that happens.
ReplyDeleteOf course it looks perfect on your perfect nails. Hard to believe it gave you a problem. I think it is pretty but sounds like not worth the trouble. :(
ReplyDeleteIts very pretty but for that price and size there are other polishes out there that are comparable to it. Your nails are GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color. Your nails are always adorned.
ReplyDeletelooks like bubblegum I love this shade, but it's a bummer that its the less linear of the bunch :(
ReplyDeleteLove this color. And tha holo gliters are amazing!

I love this collection despite the trouble I had to make it come to me :P Let me just tell you that probably you happened to have a bad Afrodite because mine is fine. The formula is good and it applies really well. You were misfortunate on that one :(
ReplyDeleteIndeed the big problem is the 6ml thing, I mean, we use it like 4 or 5 times and that's it! That's why I have made a couple of earrings with this collection :P
os Holos da HITS são Divinos ;)
