Hello Lovelies! Well, obviously I am a big weenie and never managed to post my Try It Out Tuesday post yesterday. Since it was Chemo Day for mom on Monday, I stopped by to check on her yesterday, and ended up staying and chatting for awhile. I also had some last minute clients on top of my usual Tuesday clients, and a 3 year old that's potty training. Fun day! But...here I am now, attempting to make it up to you all. I think this polish oughta do it!

Today's TIOT polish is Smitten Polish in Hocus Pocus. I've had this in my stash for awhile now, and have been itching to wear it. I mean, this polish is fairly legendary for its squishy purple jelly base and purple, blue, and magenta holo glitters. It's seriously just fabulous. I actually considered bypassing swatching last night since it's *that* awesome.

This is 3 coats of Hocus Pocus with top coat. Some photos are intentionally slightly blurred to show holo colors.

First of all, check out how my skin tone changes with different lighting angles. Drives me mad, I tell you! I'm naturally pale with strong Olive undertones, so getting my skintone exact is near impossible. Gotta love it.

But back to Hocus Pocus.....Ain't she a beaut?? Funny thing is - I had seen swatches of this polish before, but the holo wasn't evident at all. I thought that HP was a purple jelly with purple glitter! Even then, it looked amazing, but add the holo and BAM! Instant fabulous! I wish I had some sunlight to capture this polish (it's crazy in sunlight), but  routinely photograph around 1am and the sun is loooong gone by then. ;)

Hocus Pocus has an excellent formula with no thickening during use and excellent dry time. Application was entirely problem free (no dragging, balding or clumping) and opaque in 2 coats, although I used 3 for these photos. Hocus Pocus does not dry very textured at all - your regular topcoat with smooth it out perfectly, however she does have a slightly satin finish, so you definitely want to use that topcoat! I used HK Girl for these swatches since it does not dull holos. In fact, it seemed to really bring out the colors in HP!

So far HP is my one and only Smitten Polish, but that is going to change. I'm so impressed and in love with this beauty that I must try more! If you don't have Hocus Pocus, you can find it by heading over to SmittenPolish.com or Llarowe.

What do you think of this Glittery, Holo beauty?

I'll be back sometime later today with a gorgeous polish from Love, Angeline, so check back soon! Also, I have the Daft Punk Collection from Fandom Cosmetics and some new Polish TBH coming up starting this week!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy polishing!
