When you already have 101 holographic polishes (randomly generated figure plucked out of the air as I actually refuse to count my polishes), you tend to become a little picky when it comes to your holographic shine. Not just any old slight rainbow shimmer is going to cut it. So when China Glaze announced a release of holo's that were similar to their OMG collection....well, I knew I would wait to see it before I believed it.
It turns out, I was a little disappointed as the rainbow flash isn't quite fabulous. In fact, it's hardly there at all. Even under artificial lighting. After studying online swatches and realising this, I only purchased 3 and here they are:
This is my favourite of the 3, When Stars Collide, 2 coats. The color as a holographic is original, especially in a general branded polish and I really, really like it.
Cosmic Dust, 2 coats. This is about the 6th different silver holo I now have but we must own ALL the silvers. Out of them all, this is the least holo in my collection.
Strap On Your Moonboots, 2 coats. If you have been spoiled by DS Glamour then this baby is just going to make you want to cry. It's a nice, dusky dark blue but not the rainbow blinding polish you want it to be. As you can see, out of the 40 photos I took these were the ones with the most rainbow flash.
Did you guys get a different reaction to the new ChG holos?
I did the exact same thing, only bought the unique colours because they weren't holo enough :( Funnily I got the same as you (except not the silver, I'm not that in to silver holos, I love the nudes, warm skintone you see).
ReplyDeleteThey're all lovely IMO, especially the silver - there's always something about the onset of warm weather again that puts me in the mood for metallic polishes.

I'd get Moonboots and Stars Collide just for the color alone, so pretty! And then whatever little holo there is would just be icing on the cake. I also really like the particle size on these, for some reason that was something that caught my eye immediately.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit disappointed in the holo, but thought as standalone colours they were nice, but not amazzzing. The Color Club Halo Hues are far superior on the holo front IMO.
