Holographic skittles & Ludurana Fenomeno review

A couple of months ago I spotted some gorgeous, heavenly swatches by picchinails showing holographic polishes stamped with fantastic Konad, Bundle Monster and Dashica designs, among which this one ft. Ludurana Supremo and this one ft. Ludurana Superior. I immediately felt compelled to recreate those manicures on me, albeit not as perfect as hers. All I wanted was to get even just a fraction of that gorgeousness on my nails, so I did a skittles manicure using Layla Cloudy Violet and Ludurana Fenomeno, Superior and Supremo (with Cirque Fascination Street on my thumbnail, only visible in one of the pictures). Speaking of Ludurana Fenomeno, that's the main reason why I'm posting these photos in the first place. My manicure didn't come out perfect as you will see (nor did some of my photos, again, as you will see) and it's not even my own idea as I said, but still I'm posting these swatches because I can't even begin to tell how much I love Fenomeno. It was a total surprise, when I tried it on I had no idea what it would look like. As soon as the magic started happening a spell was cast.

Ludurana Fenomeno is part of the Supernova collection, which consists of polishes that are duochrome/multichrome besides being holographic. I would classify Fenomeno as a multichrome as it takes on green/teal, purple, copper and gold hues. Most of the time it looks either green/teal or purple, but the copper and gold are indeed noticeable indoors as you move your hand. Some of the pics are blurry but at least they are colour accurate and that's the bottom line. I did 3 coats but could have done just 2, really. Mine didn't bubble by the way, but I read it did on a few ladies. I have no clue as to why bubbling occurs. Anyway, this one is too pretty, bubbles or no bubbles. And obviously my pics don't do it justice, it's much better in person, both in the shade and in the sun.


In the sun (ring finger, as stated in the images):

From teal/green...

...to purple...

....to a mix of colours

 In the shade, see how the colours are never boring even without a strong lighting:

Blurry pictures to show how the colour shift is still very noticeable in the shade (click to enlarge):

Here's the copper/gold shift, the picture sucks but the effect doesn't and it's there, I promise.

Sorry again for the picture-heavy post, I'm not very good at narrowing my selection down unfortunately.
