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.

Swatch: A England - Whispering Waves (Heavenly Quotes)

Colour: Turquoise, Slight Purple Shift
Finish: Holographic Duochrome
Opacity: Two Coats
Brush Type: Standard
How Much? 11ml

Comments? This stains fingers and cuticles very easily on removal.

Spring actually began a few weeks ago so I am a little late in doing this post, but after missing last year I thought it would still be good to share my picks for 2017. You can see my picks from 2013 here, 2014 here and 2015 here. Of course you don't need these specific brands and colours but something along these lines are very Spring appropriate, if that is what you are looking for.
