Review (4/5): Holo :D
This was my first time trying a regular cat eye polish. I love the colors, and the holo is gorgeous, without having a dense linear holo effect (with the exception the Star Vies Moon color on the far left). I prefer the more scattered holo look. I did a black base on the left half of each of these sample nails to see the difference with and without a black base. The black definitely makes the cat eye effect much more visible in certain lighting conditions. I applied one coat of the polish without using a magnet, followed by 2 thicker coats using the magnet. You could definitely get away with doing only 1 magnet coat, it would just give a less dense holo effect, and a less saturated cat eye line. It would show more of the black underneath, which is a beautiful look too. It just depends on the look your going for. The only downside to the polish, is that it doesn't hold as crisp of a cat eye line as my cat eye gel polishes (I included some cat eye gel polishes in one pic for comparison). This is probably just a consequence of not being able to lock in the position of the cat eye color particles immediately with an LED light. Having to wait for the polish to air dry allows time for the cat eye line to dissipate a bit. I will still get plenty of use out of this polish. The holo is UH-MAZING! You holosexuals out there will love it ;)
