This week's prompt is 'red' here is a link to my 2012 version, as well as the image below my 2022 version;

 I recently found my holographic topcoat and wanted to use it, so this looks like a red holo polish.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Holographic Finish

I like all holographic polishes, however if I had to choose it would be linear because it's like a rainbow in direct light, where the light creates a rainbow spreading outwards from the centre.

Nail Polish Swatch: GOSH - Holographic 549 (Original)

I've had this polish since 2010, does that make it vintage?

I don't think this version of Holographic is available to purchase, I previously swatched this in 2015 here, the newer version 'Holographic Hero' is available online. I compared the two of those back in 2012 here. 

Colour | Silver
Finish | Linear Holographic
Opacity | Two Coats
Brush Type | Standard

I have swatched and reviewed a couple of other shades in the holographic series, Beautiful Eyes and Zeus Sword. I also have swatches of Fantasy and Titan Anger coming soon. A comparison of Ares Power and Titan Anger is also below as both are red.

Ares Power comes packaged in a plastic wrap, and in a cardboard box.

Topic Tuesday: Unconventional Autumnal Polishes

I think for me an unconventional polish for autumn could be holographics because particularly here (northern England) there isn't a lot of bright sunlight for around six months. Holo's do look amazing in direct sunlight so that is why it may be unconventional.

Topic Tuesday: What is your favourite polish effects type?

Overall I would say that I prefer to use holographic finish polishes, something I like about them is that they are easy to remove unlike glitter polish. Also they can be particularly stunning in direct sunlight.
