holographic - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

I've got here another two China Glaze Hologlam polishes. There's not much sun lately so I can't really swatch holographs...but be assured many more are coming ;) I got these at a Professional Beauty exhibition in London where they've had the whole collection. I didn't buy them all because the price was much steeper than for the regular polishes so these are some of my picks...

Not In This Galaxy - peachy bronze in the sun, peachy pink in the shade. It's really interesting how the colour is so different under artificial light and in the sun (leaving out the holo effect). The main thing to know about this polish, and all the Hologlams for that matter, that they dry VERY fast. That causes patching if you go over the same place twice with brush. It makes application very tricky. When I was applying NITG the polish was streaky but once it dried there were no streaks visible. As you can see, the holographic effect is not very strong even in direct sunlight.

Artificial light

When Stars Collide - aubergine purple holographic shade. Oh..the purple colour is so pretty, one of my two favourites! The holographic effect is not that strong but it is more contrasting with the dark colour so it looks like it's stronger than in Not In This Galaxy. The formula is the same as the previous polish - dries too fast, can and probably will cause patching.

Shade

So which one do you like the most? I really like When Stars Collide but I would prefer it to have stronger holo effect and better formula. I have previously reviewed CHG Galactic Gray HERE.

You can purchase the Hologlam collection at your usual stores or online, they are already available.

Hello lovelies,

Happy Easter! I've got such beauties to show you today! They are WingDust Season of Change trio, three colour-shifting topcoats.

Autumn Fire - magenta to orange duochrome shimmer with holographic glitter. I have applied one coat of Autumn Fire over black nail polish (A England Camelot) and it truly brought out the gorgeous duochrome effect. The colour shifts from dark blues through purple to burnt orange shades. The holo glitter makes it really unique and interesting and it shines with rainbow colours in the sun. It looks beautiful over other colours as well but today I'll show you swatches just over black. It applied very easily and dried fast, I've had no problem with the formula.

Aurora Sky - blue duochrome shimmer with holographic glitter. Again, I have applied one coat of Aurora Sky over black A England Camelot and it caused the colour to be dark and vivid. The result is stunning as the colour shifts from dark blue to teal. It has the same great formula as the previous polish, I've had no troubles with application or removal.

April Showers -green duochrome shimmer with holographic glitter. This emerald green shimmer is a must-have for all the green-loving polishaholics! I'm usually not keen on green but this is just so pretty! The colour shifts from blue-tinted green through emerald to golden green. I mean how can you not love this! I've applied the april Showers over A England Camelot. The formula was great and removal easy.

Just WOW! When I was given the chance to review some WingDust polishes, these were on top of my wishlist but I could have never imagined they would be so beautiful! They are even prettier in real life, trust me! There are colour shifts that I just couldn't capture as they are visible only in certain angles and light.

The formula of all three was great too, I've had no problems with it. I can honestly recommend these three polishes and I'm sure you'll absolutely love them!

You can buy these polishes at Stephanie's WingDust Collections Etsy Store.
