Hits- Hera and a giveaway by Polish Monster

Back with just a swatch today and an exiting giveaway by Diana over at The Polish Monster. On a related note, I got my very first package from llarowe and they're holos! I've been creeping on their page for months, waiting for Hera from the Hits No Olympo collection to come back into stock. So, naturally, when it finally did I had to grab it, along with Ludurana Aurora Boreal Notavel. I was so exited when I got it I had to swatch right away, and this is the result, I apologize in advance for my picture spam but I just couldn't do this polish justice. 


Hera is an emerald green linear holo, with maybe just a touch of blue. And let me tell you, this holo   glows.









I have a thing for dark green nail polish, I don't know why, but it just calls to me. And, whilst Hera isn't exactly a dark green it more than fits the bill. I used two coats for the photos, but the second was more to even out my mistakes than anything. I also took the photos at night under artificial light, so I really had no chance of catching the holo in it's true glory. 

This was the best photo of the holo effect I could get out of the bottle, but in real life this polish just comes to life. Even in low light you still get little glows and flashes of rainbow. 


The only thing I really had any trouble with was the brush and the shape of the bottle. I was so scared that I was going to knock the long skinny bottle over every time i went to wipe off my brush, although thats more a comment on the packaging than the actual polish. 

Also, as I mentioned at the start of the post, The Polish Monster is having a 50 follower giveaway! She is offering up some amazing polishes, like floam, jawbreaker and bubble tea! I know it would really mean allot to her if you took the time to look at her blog (she does some amazing swatches and art) and give yourself the chance to win those amazing prizes!

Again a big congratulations to Diana, and maybe one day I'll get to do a giveaway (I already have some polishes in mind...) So anyways, as always thanks for taking the time to look at my little corner of the internet, any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.

  1. Thanks for the giveaway share! You'll get there :) This polish is beautiful- the only HITS I currently own is Cutie Pie from the Mari Moon collection- I'd really love to get the Powerpuff Girl ones they sell too! I never seem to catch them in stock, though!
