China Glaze Hologlam

Hi guys, hope you all had a good weekend. Today I have swatches of the China Glaze Hologlam Collection to share with you! I'm sure most of us have been waiting and waiting for these to finally come out, I know I have! Hologlam is 12 new holographic shades form China Glaze, I think they must have gotten tired of all of us asking for them to re-release the OMG Collection haha! I was a little worried about getting my paws on these, luckily I ended up receiving them for review...I'm sure the guy at my local beauty supply is happy that I wont' be calling every other day now asking if he's gotten them in yet!

For all of these polishes I would suggest using either an aqua base coat (like Nfu Oh's Aqua Base) or a ridge filling base coat. I found that with regular base coat these showed every imperfection in the nail. I didn't really care for the formula on most of these, some of the darker colors were ok but the majority of polishes in this collection were tricky to apply. I had a lot of issues with them balding if I went over a spot twice. If you have any of the OMG Collection polishes they are much improved from those in the formula department but not nearly as nice to apply as the holos Color Club has been putting out. They were better with an Aqua Base but still not as nice as I would have hoped for. I tried several of these with top coat and didn't have any issues with it dulling the holo once the top coat was completely dry. All photos in this post are without top coat and in direct natural sunlight.

Astro-Hot is a lavender leaning light pink. I used 2 coats for the photos below.

Cosmic Dust is a light silvery grey. I used 3 coats for the photos below.
Don't Be A Luna-tic is a light blue/green, it leans a little more green than it was wanting to photograph. I used 2 coats for the photos below.
Galactic Gray is a dark gray holo. The holo on this one was one of the best in the collection! I used 3 coats for the photos below.
Get Outta My Space is a light pink toned lilac. I used 2 coats for the photos below.
Infra Red is a really pretty magenta! I used 2 coats for the photos below.
Not In This Galaxy is a medium orangey pink. I used 2 coats for the photos below.
OMG A UFO is a golden green. This is another one of the stronger holos in the collection, probably my favorite of the bunch! I used 2 coats for the photos below.
Sci-Fly By is a light blue. I used 2 coats for the photos below.
Strap On Your Moonboots is a dark blue. This reminds me of denim, I wish I had some holo denim pants...that would be pretty sweet! I used 2 coats for the photos below.
Take A Trek is a medium blue. This one is also a bit denim-y, I used 2 coats for the photos below.
When Stars Collide is a dark maroon. This was another one of the stronger holos! I used 2 coats for the photos below.
