If you're a beauty gal, you know that the industry can feel a bit cult like at times. (Have you seen how wild women get over an Urban Decay launch [1]?) But there's a group of junkies within the community who takes their obsession to the next level: lacqueristas. The dedication that nail-polish-lovers have to this passion is impressive. In particular, holosexuals — lovers of holographic formulas — seem to boast the greatest fanaticism of all.
After spying these videos of holographic nail powder applications [2], we can't blame them. Holographic polishes are made up of iridescent, prismatic pigments and powders, so when sunlight strikes a nail, it's as if rainbows are shooting out of the wearer's fingertips.
In case your local salon has yet to invest in some holo powders, we asked some holosexuals to share some of their favorite formulas. Read on, but be warned: these nail swatches are so hot, they're almost NSFW.
