Holographic Nails by Urban Outfitters // Uñas Holográficas por UO



This is probably the craziest nail color I've ever worn! And seriously, I can't stop looking at it! I did a really fast visit to Barcelona, went back again into Urban Outfitters and the moment I saw this nail polish I knew that it had to come home with me.

I've seen pictures of similar nail polishes and I loved how they shone under the sunlight. It looks like having a disco party on your nails! I must admit that it's not the most elegant nail polish I've ever worn but... Who cares?! Just looking at those reflections make me happy! (I might sound like a magpie bird right now but I really love shiny things).

Well, enough about crazy babbling, let's talk about "serious" stuff. I needed two coats to completely cover my nails, it's really easy to apply and it doesn't leave any marks. Under the sunlight it shines with a lot of colors but when there's no direct light it looks like a silver shade. I didn't used any kind of topcoat because I liked the shine it has and I don't think it needs any more extra. The cons... It's way more expensive than any other Urban Outfitters nail polish, it costs 17€ when usually their cost is 8€. I found that out when I went to pay but I really wanted to have it so I ended up paying for it. The pros...the quality is outstanding and the color is really special.

Do you like it? Would you wear it? Do you know any cheaper brand that has good holographic nail polishes? Tell me in the comments! Kisses :)

PS. If you want to buy it, you can find it here!

Urban Outfitters Nail Polish // Dark Night & Northern Lights


Hello gorgeous! Last week I travelled to Barcelona and I went to the new Urban Outfitters store. Of course apart from the amazing clothes and accesories, I couldn't miss the beauty section. It wasn't as big as other ones I've seen in other countries but the selection of products was pretty cool and different from what you can find in other stores. Candles, shampoos, nail polishes, hair chalks, EOS lip balm and lipstick sealers were some of the available cosmetics. I ended up buying two nail polishes from their Matte Glitter Collection since there was an offer of 2x15 €. They're quite heavy because of the square glass packaging and contain 15ml each so you get more product than in most nail polishes (which usually bring 10-13 ml) at only 8 €.


The first one is a really dark green lacquer with emerald glitter called Dark Night. It is fully opaque after two coats and it dries down to a super matte finish but with the light, the glitter creates green reflections on the surface. It has a gritty texture but it doesn't get stuck on clothes or anything so it's not annoying. The consistency is thick but it flows well across the nail without streaking. It's a really special color yet very discreet so if you like to wear some glitter without going overboard it's is a nice option. This shade had no chipping, after a week of wear, not even tip wear which is certainly good.  If you want to get it, you can go to their shop in Barcelona or buy it online here.

The second one is Northern Lights. The moment I put it on my nails I thought about mermaids! It is mostly opaque after two coats, though you can see a hint of nail line coming through. The consistency is thick, and it was a bit harder to work with than Dark Night. It dries down to a matte blue with fine gold glitter and bigger chunks of iridescent purplish glitter (as you can see on the picture below). This shade had minor tip wear, but no chipping, after a week. It's flashier than Dark Night so it's not really work appropriate but I didn't have any similar color in my stash and I couldn't resist. It's not available online so you can only get it in their shop in Barcelona.
