Glitter Gal - 10 To Midnight
Another gorgeous linear holo from Australian brand, Glitter Gal. 10 To Midnight is the usual stunning Glitter Gal holo effect in a charcoal grey base. Although this sounds quite similar to HITS' Zeus, they're not identical at all.

Illamasqua - Human Fundamentalism - Lips
Of the four shades of lipstick available as part of Illamasqua's Human Fundamentalism collection, I bought two & already owned a third.
There's also an additional Illamasqua lippie being thrown in here. It isn't part of the collection, but I thought I'd add it to this post.
First up; Apocalips.
A stunning matte teal lipstick. I've never seen one quite like Apocalips, as I have a thing for teal, I had to try it. For such an unusual lipstick colour, it's surprisingly flattering.
With a lot of matte lipsticks, I've found they can be quite drying, this isn't a problem with Apocalips. It's also hugely pigmented; you won't have to pile this on to achieve a good result.

HITS - Zeus
From HITS No Olimpo collection, Zeus is a charcoal base loaded with holographic shimmer. As with the other two shades I've tried from the collection, Zeus is a linear holo, rather than a sparkle.

Zoya - Zuza
The only shade that tickled my fancy from Zoya's "Surf" collection was Zuza, a metallic aqua shade with a distinct green tone to it. Gold & silver shimmer mixes together to give Zuza its metallic look, although I found the gold to be slightly more prominent on the nails.
Glitter Gal - Orange Sparkle

Unfortunately, I'm not overly thrilled with Orange Sparkle. This has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the polish, which is as good as the other Glitter Gal shades I've tried, but it's down to the tone & my personal preferences.

HITS Nail Polish - Hera & Atena
In my ever-going quest to find great holo polishes in fab colours, I came across the HITS nail polishes and, in particular, the No Olimpo collection.
As with the Glitter Gal 3D/Holo polishes, the No Olimpo colours are a linear holographic, not a sparkle holographic. As far as the colours are concerned, the two that caught my eye are Hera, teal, and Atena, hot pink.
