Digital Nails Wow Swatch and Review

WOW. Alright so I have a confession to make: Every time I want to talk about this nail polish... Without fail, I type in "WOW". The correct name of this polish is Wow. Wow. I digress - this is my final post before my two week break from Claw of Cthulhu. I might be in and out on surprise but as of right now, I don't plan to return until the 22nd. I think. I'll write up a bit of a sell out speech after this post, but without further adieu... Wow. I've been saving this one until the end for a reason.

If you lurve this polish or any of the other Digital Nails polishes I've shared on this blog, be sure to check out the Digital Nails Etsy shop, and follow them on Facebook for more news!

This is... Digital Nails Wow.

Pleased to meet you.

Yep, I wasn't kidding. Here's a macro and a bottle shot:

From Digital Nails: Much Rainbow! Many Sparkle! So silver. Wow.

Back in January, someone linked that 2048 game on Facebook and many of us were instantly hooked! Well, what is better than regular 2048? DOGE 2048! I can't tell you how many hours I spent matching little Doge tiles in hopes of getting the final yellow starburst Doge... I digress. This polish was inspired by the rainbow tile doge, and every doge meme that is out there, warning us in its brightly colored comic sans font that we have seen something awesome, or awful. Doge has no boundaries, only bad grammar. We love you, Doge!

This polish has been a long time coming! SILVER HOLO POLISH! You guys, seriously. It took me around 15 prototypes before I got this recipe perfect. My pain is your pleasure in this case! The name of this one is Doge's favorite way to describe incredible and unbelievable things, like the amount of laundry I have piled up, the amount of coffee I have consumed today, and freaky rainbow-y nail polish. As all holos that use Spectraflair go, the best rainbows come in the sunshine, and this polish reads as a dusty demure silver in some lighting. Bust out that light on your phone and show your uninterested co-worker just how fabulous this polish really is.

Have fun with this one!

It will come shipped gift ready, in a white box with colorful packing material.
This and all of my other polishes are 5 Free, which means I never use toluene, formaldehyde resin, formaldehyde, camphor or Dibutyl Phthalate. It is also vegan and cruelty free.


So.

Sorry guys, I am so in love with this polish magic.

But let's talk real talk and be real for a second... Holographic polishes. Sure they're pretty indoors... But outdoors is another story. It PUKES rainbows. On your nails. That's where I am pretty in love. Remember my theory about how the Doge collection is pretty much a summer collection? That's because all the polishes eat up the sun.

So with that said, here's some more photos of my Wow swatch in the sun:

Application wise, there is no fuss with this. It applied well in two coats and in regards to base and top coat, I didn't use anything special. I always hear about some sort of special aqua base being better to bring out holo goodness, but I don't own any. I've just got OPI Nail Envy Matte underneath and Seche Vite over top and I didn't see any issues with it dulling.

Alright now we can simmer back down as I'll show you how it looks in a lightbox. Admittedly, it's far more silver showy than the rainbow vomit in the sun. Apples and oranges with light, though! - Definitely an unfair comparison. On y va!

And one outside the lightbox because for whatever reason, there's some slight rainbow shifting here. Obviously not as strong but, y'know.

And if you can remember from early on this week, here's a bit of Much Glitter over top of Wow:

Nail art wise, this silver holo is pretty easy to pair up with. You can wear it alone, you can wear it with a crazy ass glitter topper like Much Glitter. It would look great with any colour nail art studs. Black stamping over top would look lovely. Colour blocking... Also nice.

Overall, I really love this polish but this is speaking as a person who hasn't worn a silver holographic polish before. I know in regards to uniqueness, a silver holo isn't that crazy innovative but... It's based on Doge, and the linear holographicness is SO impressive.

Do you have any silver holos in your polish stash? How does WOW stack up? Does anyone else believe me that Doge is totally a summer collection?

Again, I'll be returning in two weeks! If you'd like to follow along, be sure to join my blog via Google Friend Connect on the sidebar. I'm also on Bloglovin. And Facebook. I also sometimes write semi-offensive tweets and World Cup banter over on Twitter. Lastly, I am also on Instagram! All of these links can always be found on the right sidebar, at the top!

    1. I love the rainbows too! But swatching holos are the bane of my existence - I need some sun for my lightbox!
