China Glaze Hologlam Astro-Hot, Infra Red, When Stars Collide, Galactic Gray and OHMG A UFO, swatches and comparisons

 

I already showed you the 4 blue from China Glaze Hologlam 2013 - see them HERE
Today I will show you the rest of my picks, all in 2 coats and without a top coat.
First we have the lovely and delicate pink Astro-Hot...

 

 Infra Red is my favorite of the lot - a hot, vibrant and bold pink!

 

When Stars Collide is a dark reddish wine purple....

 

 

- and a comparison left to right: Astro-Hot, Infra Red and When Stars Collide...

 

 Galactic Gray is a char coal grey, and it also has that slight maroon hue in real life...

 

OMG A UFO is a light olive, mossy green

Overall thoughts of this collection - the holographic effect is fairly subdued unless you are in the sun or similar bright light conditions. I find most of the colors too dark for the season - I don't think I will feel like using most of them before fall is closing in on us...

All comments will be read when I open my computer again later this week!
HERE you can see what I have scheduled to post during my blog absence :)

China Glaze Hologlam swatches and comparisons of the blues

 

First we have the darkest blue: Strap On Your Moonboots a dark denim blue holographic, very well pigmented and easy to apply.

Next we have Take A Trek, a little lighter blue than Strap On your Moonboots.

 Sci-Fly By is the lightest blue of these 4

Don't Be A Luna-Tic is a mix of light blue and light green

The effect of these 4 is pretty much non-existing unless you are in the sun or fairly strong artificial light. But then they are beautiful without being eye-soaring, probably the right choice for you, if you are looking for a more discrete holographic polishes.
I have 5 other colors from this collection, so stay tuned for more swatches, maybe next weekend!
I found these at Pretty Polish, they send to all of Europe!
