Disclaimer: The polish was provided for review.
The formula of the polish was surprisingly amazing. I often read about how holographic polishes can be a pain to apply and how a special base coat is needed, but these applied like any good creme polish, very smooth and very opaque. I used two coats achieve full opacity. The polish dried fairly quickly, though not ask quickly as "Harp On It", the silver holo from Color Club I reviewed a while ago. However, the finish of this was super duper shiny! No top coat needed!
Color:
#12 is a very deep and rich teal, and like most linear holographic polishes, the rainbow effect is only visible under bright sunlight. Under artificial light, it takes on a vampy creme appearance.
Packaging and Value:
The only issue I have with the polish is the packaging. As you may notice, the polish only has 6mL of product in it and thus comes in a very small bottle. I don't think the lack of product (most polishes have around 14mL of product) is an issue as $5.59 is a fairly reasonable price. Plus, how often do we actually use up more than half a bottle of polish. But because the bottle is so small, the brush and the handle is very short, making application a bit inconvenient. It's not a huge setback but I am much more used to the length of regular polish brush/handle.
Overall, I highly highly recommend this color and from the looks of it, some of the other colors in the line are amazing too!
