Dragons – The Holo Hookup November 2018

written by Kiz October 17, 2018

For November’s Holo Hookup box, the four makers are bringing us the theme, Dragons! I’ve been playing a lot of Pokken with my boys lately, so one of the first dragons that came to mind is Charizard. Of course, I still sometimes ponder the outcome of those three dragons on that acclaimed HBO show. And who can forget when Buttercup Cumbersnatched cosplayed as the super chatty Smaug in The Hobbit. Despite all of these famous dragons, let’s not forget our magical childhood friend, Puff! As usual, I can go on, but it’s time to light a fire under our Holo Hookup box and see what hatches!

The Holo Hookup – November 2018

The Holo Hookup is a monthly box that features three permanent makers. Sara of Cupcake Polish, Missy of Different Dimensions and Jill of Glisten & Glow invite another indie maker to create a polish to go along with a chosen theme. This month’s guest makers are Alix & Lynnae of Nvr Enuff! Magic awaits!

Cupcake Polish – Drakon

Sara created Drakon, a grape purple linear holographic base with flakes shifting green to blue to purple and a contrasting green shimmer. The flakes are quite abundant in there and lay well. I’m wearing two coats with a glossy topcoat.

I’ve added a low light photo so show more of the flakes!

Different Dimension – Fire Breather

Fire Breather is a rich maroon linear holographic base with a smattering of copper shimmers and silver flakes. This is a vampy, sexy shade with warming Autumn vibes. I’m wearing two coats with a glossy topcoat.

Leaves over Fire Breather

I decided on a minimal Autumnal look using Fire Breather as a base with accents from Nvr Enuff’s Dragon Kingdom, which I’ll be showing you in a bit.

Glisten & Glow – Dragon Scales

Jill’s Dragon Scales is a dark teal linear holographic with some blue shimmers mixed in. I really wish I had a proper dragon stamp image to use over this one! I’m wearing two coats with a glossy topcoat.

Nvr Enuff – Dragon Kingdom

Dragon Kingdom by Nvr Enuff is a warm, sunshine-gold micro flake linear holographic with a red to orange to gold chromatic shift. I’m guessing this is the shade that would blind you should you stumble upon a dragon’s gold stash! I’m wearing two coats with a glossy topcoat.

Are There Dragons In That Castle?

This is my second, not so minimal look using all four polishes from the November Holo Hookup Box! I’m really pleased with how well these colors go together.
