Today I have something new to share with you guys - The Holo Hookup. To be honest, before I was asked to swatch the August polishes I hadn't even heard of the Holo Hookup. Yes I may be living under a rock, but in all fairness there is so many new polish brands, Facebook groups and subscription box types of things it's hard to keep up. Anyway, I always love trying out new things so I naturally said yes to swatching the August polishes. The theme for this month is Tea Party.
Cupcake Polish: Brew-tea-ful is a mulberry linear holographic polish with blue/teal/purple/pink shifting flakies and a red to gold shifting shimmer. We all know I love holographic polishes with flakies and this one is a really pretty one. The formula is great and is opaque in two coats.

Different Dimension: Hit Me With Your Best Pot is a dark sapphire blue linear holographic. Nice colour with a good formula. I used two coats for my swatch.

Glisten & Glow: Let's Get The Par-tea Started is described as a light beige creme based linear holographic polishes loaded with pink/red/gold shifting aurora shimmers. This one is gorgeous in the bottle but sadly it is really sheer. It definitely needs a base colour underneath. I used four thick coats for my swatch (and it still isn't completely opaque).

Grace-full Nail Polish Cute Tea is a soft light pink linear holo with gold shimmer and gold flakes throughout. I quite like this one. It's a pretty pink and I really like the added gold shimmer and flakes. The formula is great and easy to use. My swatch shows two coats.

I quite like the polishes in this box. They are all nice colours and the formulas are all easy to work with. I do wish that the Glisten & Glow polish was more opaque though.
The Tea Party box will be available for pre-order Saturday July 21st at 9pm EDT until Saturday July 28th at 9pm EDT.
