The China Glaze Hologlams have arrived!! I was excited until I broke my no buy (5 successful weeks) and tried them for myself. On the salon swatches, the Hologlams are beautiful! It shows a strong holographic property on all of the colors making it hard to decide what do get. On the nail in normal lighting, these are a slight disappointment. The holo is very subtle. Get Outta My Space is a lavender/pink that looks like a chrome unless I'm outdoors. The formula is thick and I didn't experience any dragging. I'm using two coats over bare nails. I tried using a base coat, but the polish bubbled and I retried without base coat. I don't have an aqua base coat and my Seche Vite base coat has a stuck cap and refuses to open. I stamped lightning bolts over with Sci-Fly By to give it more demension. The stamp is not noticeable in person, but it creates more of a holo illusion indoors. Sealed everything with Seche Vite top coat.
All pictures shown were taken outdoors in natural sunlight.
I got mine from Trade Secrets and paid $7/bottle. I was expecting $14 like everyone online was mentioning. For the price, I can't complain too much. Just wishing Get Outta My Space was more in your face holo and less chrome looking.
Pretty but I think the older collection had a bit more of a holo effect :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it did too.
DeleteI Likey!! I would never pay $14.
ReplyDeleteYeah. For $14, they would have stayed at the salon.
