Holo Polish ~ #33
Green to
purple duochromatic jelly with green glitter in various sizes
Don’t let the name of this polish fool you: This is
not a holographic polish. I don’t know why they wrote “Holo polish” on the
bottle: This is a duochrome with glitter.
I wasn’t quite sure whether it required underwear or
not so I tried both with and without. I used a layer of black underwear on my
pinkie and ring finger and no underwear on the middle finger and the pointer.
So this is two coats over black on the pinkie and ring
finger and three coats alone on the middle finger and the pointer. There’s a
layer of topcoat on all of them.
Here are the two polishes I used. The OPI is “Never
have too Mani Friends”.
This polish leaves me kind of “meh”. There’s not much
of a difference between the nails with and without underwear. The shift is not
prominent and the little shift there is, is from green to a very hazy and dull
purple. I’m not impressed and I will not buy again.
Number of
coats: 2 over black or 3 alone
Drying time: Average
Finish: Jelly
duochrome with glitter
Overall impression: Dull shift, not impressive
Overall impression: Dull shift, not impressive
Buy again: Nope
To be sincere it is pretty, even though it is not a strong holo. I like the green glitters inside! Smuack
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like the glitters as well :)
DeleteI don't see differences between the nails, but I do like the green glitter particles in it!
ReplyDeleteThe glitters do the magic for me too :)
DeleteI have this polish, too, and it looks absolutely amazing in real life. Maybe that's because I love its primary dark green color. The purple shift is most prominent in warm yellow light, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOkay, thank you. I'll check out the shift in different lightings next time :)
DeleteWell, not a holo, but I really like it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so good to hear :)
DeleteThis is gorgeous and to die for! I do love this sort of polish. :-D I think you have captured this shift well.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that people seem to mistake 'holo' and 'duochrome/iridescent' polishes. Which is annoying when I am doing a search LOL! Definitely not HOLO! ;-)
Thank you dear!
DeleteAnd I have noticed that too and it doesn't help that companies also mistake the two :D
