Emily de Molly Where Boys Fear to Tread Swatch!

If there's one thing I love, it's a good holographic polish. When I first started getting interested in polish I was crazy for shimmers, but now it's my holos that get the most love. Some of my favorite holos are from Emily de Molly, an Aussie indie brand. Emily de Molly holos are colorful, and intense linear holographics! Where Boys Fear to Tread is no different!

Emily de Molly Where Boys Fear to Tread is a hot pink linear holographic. The formula on this is excellent, and the same as my other Emily de Molly holos. These polishes are opaque in two coats and the balance between the base color and holographic pigment is perfect for me (I like holos that aren't so jelly-like that they are sheer, but not loaded with holo pigment so that they just look silvery and chalky). Where Boys Fear to Tread wore really well and I can usually go a few days without any chips (which is a big deal to me).

I think these pictures speak for themselves! This is two coats of Emily de Molly Where Boys Fear to Tread with Seche Vite topcoat under my daylight. In the sun these are even more stunning!







What brand makes your favorite holographic polish? Do you prefer a different finish of polish?

    1. Thank you! It isn't difficult to remove at all, it removes just like a regular creme or shimmer nail polish. :D

    1. Holographics are fantastic aren't they? So unique!

      I personally tend to prefer mid-priced polishes ~$8 (such as OPI, Zoya, China Glaze etc.). I can usually tell a difference in quality between inexpensive drugstore polishes (~$2) and these mid-priced polishes, but not much of a difference between the mid-priced polishes and some of the high-end polishes (such as Chanel, Dior, Deborah Lippmann, Butter London etc.) :)
