After a few days of cheerfully bright sunshine and increasing temperatures, I was most certainly feeling the need for a bright linear holo.

Emily de Molly Flatline is hands-down one of the most blindingly linear holos I own. Even in fluorescent office lighting, there's still a hint of a flame arc on the nail surface, so while the color is a soft, muted lavender/lilac that would otherwise be quite office appropriate, it's still pretty flashy as hell, especially in the sunlight.

The color is one of those I could never quite nail down as far as which precise shade of pale purple it really is. I have it filed as a more pink-tinged lilac, but on the nail in some lighting it appeared more blue-leaning lavender. Since I liked the play between the two colors, I stamped with saturated pastels in each shade, Esmaltes da Kelly Maria and Wendy, using alternating zig-zag stripes from BM-423.

Flatline has a fantastically smooth formula and went on with zero troubles. It's nearly completely opaque in one coat, and if you have a heavier hand than I do this will definitely be a one-coater. Since I usually go with fairly thin coats, I'm wearing 2 here.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. This wore a little more quickly than ideal, but was super easy to touch up as needed, and POW that rainbow!
Where to buy:
direct from Emily de Molly, or from her stockists.
