NOTD - Boots 17 Holographic

Happy Saturday peeps! Had a super busy week of shopping, poorly daughter, her Halloween disco at school and general out and aboutness! 

Day of rest today (and washing :( ) so what better to do than blog?!

So we all know holo polishes are big news, I have the original Gosh Holo   but am amassing a collection of indies now and they piddle all over it!

So how does a high street holo compare?



Erm, well it doesn't! I mean it really really just doesn't!

Excuse the little finger, didn't like this enough to start over!


This is a linear holo, and even in the sunlight it was hard to really tell that it was a holo :( 


My camera struggled with this, although there wasn't really much to pick up!


Inside, and even now sitting in front of my window this looks just like a plain old silver/white polish on my nails!


If this is your first holo purchase then maybe you will love it and the plus side is that it is a million easier to apply than the Gosh one but still a good idea to use a sticky base, a coat of this, a topcoat and a final layer of this so as not to dull the holo


This is available from Boots stores for £3.99 but in all honesty pay the extra £1 and get the recently re-released Gosh version from Superdrug stores!

I will be doing some more holo posts soon as I have just got some from Models Own that look gorgeous!

Are you a holo fan?

    1. Do, honestly, it is so so much better than this one! Really eye catching!

      The new Gosh one is laballed as one night only wear but if you want a bit of longevity then do the sandwich technique :)
