I let the 6 strongest of my silver holographic polishes enter a battle of holographic beauty.
I prefer a holo to be linear with a strong and crisp rainbow, so that's what I wanted to check!

Round 1
China Glaze Sexagon is coarser in the holographic particles and could be stronger just like Gosh Holographic Hero, so they leave the competition.
Semi final:
Final round:
For me it's clearly Chanel Holographic because it's shows it's rainbow even in light settings where the others just are grey/silver. Furthermore in person the rainbow is by far the most well defined and crisp of them all.
But unfortunately Chanel Holographic was sold in 2007 and after it sold out the price has skyrocketed ever since, so a really good substitute would be Color Club Harp On it, the effect is strong and it's beautiful, although not quite as amazing as Chanel Holographic...
PS: some of you know that I during summer bought a complete BNIB set of Chanel Duo Holographic and was hesitant to open it and didn't... But recently I found a bottle of Holographic at a very reasonable price and a few days later I found the Fixing Base at an equally reasonable price, so now I have a set to use, I am such a lucky girl :)
I like them all :)they all look so similar.
SvarSletThey are all really beautiful, but not really similar LOL
SletI remember you wrote you won't open the Chanel set so I was surprised to see it here. Pleasantly surprised if I may add. I didn't expect it to be this nice.
SvarSletYes, and now that I have two bottles I will of course eventually also show swatches - and I was just as pleasantly surprised .)
SletThanks for a very good comparison!
SvarSletI'm so glad you liked it :)
Sletcool.
SvarSletI like Color club's one. it's in my wish-list now =)
btw, the most popular holo in Russian part of polish-addicts are from brand called Fnug... looks awesome on photos =)
if you fell in love with linear holo, it'll be endless love =)
LOL Fnug is a Danish brand, but I never owned it - how weird is that really...
SletBut I have in various places read reviews/thought on their holo's, that resulted in me not buying it - both considering the price and the amount of polish in the bottle...
I have Chanel Holographic and I love it sooooo much <3 <3 The second bottle of Holographic I gave my nail polish sis :)
SvarSletBut I need that Base ;D
Yes, it's hard not to love - and that was a really lovely present :)
SletActually a quite normal ridge filler base works very well too, and for my very ridged nails the Fixing Base was not super filling, so I might use one of my best ridge fillers...
When I saw them all together on the first photo, my favourite was Color Club... Then I saw the two that came to the final and somehow... I really don't know how... I had a feeling that the winner would be Chanel Holographic ;-) :-)
SvarSletBut, it's right, it deserves to win!! :-)
I was very much in doubt a while too, but once on the nails the doubt was gone, it was so obvious :)
SletDefinitely Chanel Holographic. =)
SvarSletIt definitely is :)
SletOf course I'm going to say Chanel *.*
SvarSletLOL - of course, and now we have photos to prove it :)
SletAll look really cute :)
SvarSletThey really are beautiful!
SletI missed the boat on the Chanel Holographic polish, but I so wish I hadn't! It's gorgeous. Luckily, I have the Color Club, and a few others, too. Thanks for the comparison - I love those kinds of posts a lot. :)
SvarSletOH yes, I think many of there feel the same way LOL
SletBut the Halo Hues are really, really good, that's for sure :)
Thanks Nidia - I have plans to make more like it eventually :)
Oooh wow! Awesome comparison!!
SvarSletI'm so happy you like it :)
SletYou ARE lucky indeed :) BTW, it's hard to choose from the pictures when we talk about holos. But I have to say, that Chanel is stunning! So beautiful! But IMHO the winner is Sexagon because it is so peculiar with those glitters :)
SvarSletI am so lucky indeed :)
SletSexagon does not have glitters, it's just really coarse in the holo particles...
Hola! es una genial review, adoro los holográficos pero no tengo ninguno porque no encuentro Color Club en España y el de Chanel ya no existe :(
SvarSletLos que tengo cercanos son GOSH y China Glaze y son los primeros que has descaralogado! jeje
Muack
Thank you so much Sara - you can get Color Club on Ebay from the US...
Sletoh my, my heart just stopped!
SvarSletI hope it started again - I truly hope so - but they are gorgeous :)
Slettoo many beauties for my poor little heart *.*
SvarSletLOL - they do affect the heart, I agree :)
SletAt first when I saw this I was like: OMG, she started using the Chanel!!! But then I read the last bit about having bought a used one. Great!! :)
SvarSletYup, I really am so happy to have two :)
SletInteresting comparison! Chanel Holographic is definitely the winner. So beautiful! Lucky you who have it/ two.
SvarSletThank you so much Lani - and yes, I feel very lucky having it :)
