HITS No Olimpo - Apolo

Apolo is the first lacquer from the HITS No Olimpo collection I've had the pleasure to try. It is a stunning ocean blue holographic. It has tons of depth, and is very bright and perfectly opaque at two coats.



It's even better in real life, believe me. Incredibly vibrant and holographic, and it just looks... deep... like I could swim in it. Now theres a strange scene to envision. Anyways, even in low lighting it is obviously holographic, which is something I can't say about the China Glaze OMG holos. 

Formula wise, it's a bit goopy to apply, and tricky to get in the right spots. On the upside, wear time was somewhat better than other holographic polishes I've tried, closer to what a normal polish wears on me. 

Now there's something else I have to mention about this bottle of lacquer...


The incredibly, bizarrely, wonky brush. Look at it! Yikes. I've never had a brush this wonky before. It was like trying to paint my nails with a mop. I so hope that Dionisio doesn't have the same trouble. 

In summary: wonky brush, stunningly beautiful ocean blue holo that I positively want to swim in. Eh, the effort was well worth it. Still... that brush... *shudder*
