China Glaze Infra Red


     Today's NOTD is China Glaze Infra Red from the 2013 Holographic Collection. I've had this in my collection for a few months now. All of a sudden the other day I had an urge to use it.

     Infra Red reminds me a lot of Orly's Miss Conduct. It's not quite as in your face and Miss Conduct though. Infra Red is a deep, rich pink with flashes of purple, orange, yellow and blue. The following picture is two coats of Infra Red plus top coat.

     The next picture I wanted to show you the more subdued side of Infra Red. Even without all the holo goodness, I think it's still a pretty color.

    I wanted to keep my nail art simple for this. I didn't want to take away from Infra Red with an elaborate design. And lately, I've been reminded that simple lines or dots can make a big impact.

     I love how this turned out. I thought about adding a few stripes to the other side of the nail and I still might for an accent nail. The jury is still out on that one. Would you add the extra lines?


     Thanks for stopping by and as always, Happy polishing!

  1. What a gorgeous color! A holo doesn't need to be in-yo-face to be pretty, obviously :) Love the accents, too, it looks all futuristic :)

    1. Thanks Liesl! I have a variation of this mani in my head that I need to try with a different polish from this collection.

    3. No, Im kind of kicking myself that I didn't pick that one up. Its a color close to that one though. Sci-Fly By. I should see if I can still get Strap On Your Moonboots from Sally's online. I have a coupon that expires at the end of the month I need to use.

    1. Thank you! I have a weakness for deep rich pink polishes. When I was younger it was the only color I would buy.
