Colour: Silver
Finish: Holographic
Opacity: Three Coats
Brush Type: Flat, Wide, Rounded Cuticle
How Much? 10ml

I have a few holographic polishes in my collection and compared Holographic Lights to those;

A England - Encore Margot
[With Flash]
Encore Margot is a beautiful polish, however not as holographic as the Barry M.

GOSH - Holographic (original)
[With Flash]
GOSH Holographic is stunning, even in standard lighting. This is the elusive original swatched, I did do a comparison post to the newer formula but I think even that one has been discontinued.

HITS - Hefesto
[With Flash]
Hefesto is more of a top coat which you would apply over any base colour to turn it holographic.
