Part I"},"content":{"rendered":"

We have been hit with so much rain in New York for the past couple of weeks.\u00a0 So, when the sun emerged yesterday with a forecast of rays all day, I snatched up my camera and polishes and did some swatching for you.\u00a0 Viola – here are the holographic nail polishes I have in my collection.<\/p>\n

I’ll kick off this post with the Milani 3D Holographic Collection.\u00a0 It has been available for awhile, but for some reason I couldn’t find these locally til a couple of months ago.\u00a0 Anyway, I’m so glad I scooped up all 6 because they are gorgeous!\u00a0 Unlike some holos, these went on like a dream, with no dragging or splotchiness.\u00a0 I didn’t use any special basecoat – just my usual Essie Millionails.\u00a0 These dry very shiny, as well – you don’t need a topcoat to get that glossy look.\u00a0 On to the swatches!<\/p>\n

HD is a bright, clear silver.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3D is a warm golden holo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n


\n<\/a>Hi-Tech is a crazy gorgeous yellow-green.\u00a0 I love how there are both color particles in this one in addition to the holographic.\u00a0 Since it’s such a chameleon I had a hard time capturing the color with my camera.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cyberspace is a blue holo that looks baby blue or blue gray, depending on the light. This one is extra spectacular in the sun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Digital is a cool-toned medium pink.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hi-Res is a lilac purple with tons of holo goodness.\u00a0 It’s such a stunner that I thought it deserved an extra photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What a rainbow!<\/p>\n

All of these are two coats except for HD (the silver), which was not as opaque as the others, for some reason.\u00a0 I’m really glad Milani dipped their toes into the holographic nail polish stream (ooh, that sounds refreshing, can I go?).\u00a0 These manage to be chock-full of chunky holo particles while giving off a linear shine and drying smooth and glossy on the nail.\u00a0 They also look fantastic both in low\/indoor light and bright sunlight.\u00a0 My absolute faves are Hi-Res (purple), Cyberspace (blue), and Hi-Tech (green).\u00a0 Get your paws on these polishes for $5.99 apiece at CVS.<\/p>\n

How do you think these compare to some of the other holographic nail polishes – OPI DS, Color Club, etc?<\/p>\n

Watch for Part II of Holo-Fest, coming soon!<\/p>\n
