Glitter Gal Duo Chrome Polish in Contorted Mauve - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I recently tried my first Glitter Gal Duo Chrome polish. I've tried (and LOVE) their holographic polishes, but had never ventured beyond the glittery-goodness. This duo chrome polish is gorgeous in the bottle and pretty on the nail.

Glitter Gal Duo Chrome Polish Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $ (15 ml full size). Available on the Glitter Gal website, and everywhere else Glitter Gal is sold. CLICK HERE to find a retailer near you.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

Glitter Gal uses the highest quality, most extravagant ingredients to offer their customers the most superior polish on the international market. They are "Big 5 Free" (TFR, camphor, formaldehyde, DPB, and toluene free), also cruelty free and vegan friendly.

Long-wearing, chip resistant, quick-drying, glossy finish, and comes boxed. Made in Australia.

Multi-dimensional metallic special effect nail polish that shows a metallic chrome like finish which changes color when viewed from different angles. Can be worn alone or over a solid black polish for the best results, as it's rather sheer on its own.

Available in six duo chrome shades; I'd love to also try Distorted Platinum and Warped Teal.

Another great line of polishes from Glitter Gal!

Glitter Gal 3D Holographic Polish in Fuchsia -- swatches, pics

Hello, Beautiful!

Today's NOTD is another beauty from Glitter Gal. This is my second Glitter Gal polish and I have to say, they make some of the best holographic polishes out there! They go on incredibly easy, have gorgeous linear holo-goodness, and have a wide color range to choose from (there are currently 19 shades in the 3D Holographic Collection). Sure, they're smaller bottles but the quality is superior.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!


Formula:
Glitter Gal's 3D Holographic collection of polishes feature linear holographic finishes, which are gorgeous! Compared to other holographic polishes I own, these are much easier to work with. For example, I've been able to use any base coat with these and not have any application issues. They also have a nicer finish to them, almost glossy depending on what shade you have; of course the holo-goodness outshines everything!

Coverage:
Opaque in 2 to 3 coats.

Wear:
Above average wear for a holographic polish.

Shade Info:
Currently available in 19 shades; I want them all, lol!

Square polish bottle, black cap and average polish brush. These bottles are smaller than your average polish. They look like polish mini's. They hold 0.3 fl oz - which is still plenty of polish. To give you an idea, most polish bottles offer 0.5 fl oz.

Glitter Gal 3D Holographic Nail Polish Review:
I'm in love with Glitter Gal's 3D Holographic polishes! I really cannot say enough good things about these polishes. There is really nothing bad I can say because they're just too pretty and the formula is too perfect.

The shade I'm sharing with you in this post is Fuchsia, which I thought was going to be a brighter pink based on the online swatch from Glitter Gal's website, but it's actually a light pink/purple. I really like the color regardless of what I thought it would look like. How can you not love any of their shades from their 3D Holographic line? They're all beautiful!

I will continue to grow my Glitter Gal collection for years to come, and really hope they never stop making these beautiful linear holographic polishes!!

If you couldn't already tell, I HIGHLY recommend these polishes!

Glitter Gal polish in Light As A Feather (3D Holographic) -- swatches, pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I'm excited to share with you my very first Glitter Gal polish! The shade Light As A Feather is from their 3D Holographic collection of polishes. It is a beautiful linear holographic, with superb application. However, I had the worst time photographing this polish -- not because of the polish itself, but because of the weather and other factors. For example, my photography lighting will not show off a holo effect, so I have to take pictures outdoors in sunlight or with my regular camera flash in order to show the holo effect. I didn't have bright sunlight on the three days straight I tried to get pics of this polish. I had flashes of sun that would pop out for a minute or two and then clouds again. On the days that we did have sun, I didn't have time to re-swatch this because I wasn't home or didn't think about it. So in the future, when the sun is beaming in all its glory, I will re-swatch this polish so you can see how pretty it truly is. I don't have a lot of pics to share (not as many as I wanted to share), but enjoy the few pics I do have!

Basic stats for Glitter Gal 3D Holographic Nail Polish:

Formula: linear holographic polish

Coverage: opaque in 2 to 3 coats

Wear: above average for a holo

Shade Info: many shades available

Cost/Availability: $14 each (0.3 fl oz full size). Available on Glitter Gal's website, and for United States buyers, click here to purchase on llarowe's website (the Glitter Gal US dealer).

Packaging: small square bottle; average polish brush

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!


Formula:
The 3D Holographic collection of polishes feature linear holographic finishes! They are better to work with than most holo's, as you can use any base coat without issues. They also have a glossy finish, and beautiful linear holo shine!

Coverage:
I find this polish, at least the shade I have, opaque in 2 to 3 coats. I could wear 2 coats just fine but add a third for complete opaque coverage.

Wear:
This polish holds up better than other holo polishes I own. However, I don't usually care about polish wear since I change my polish daily.

Shade Info:
I purchased the shade Light As A Feather, which is supposed to be a white linear holo, but i find it to be more of a gray-white linear holo. It's really beautiful and I plan to buy more shades when my budget finds the money to.

Cost/Availability:
$14 each, plus shipping (which, by the way, is very reasonable). Available on Glitter Gal's website, and for United States buyers, click here to purchase on llarowe's website (the Glitter Gal US dealer).

Packaging:
Square polish bottle, black cap and average polish brush. These bottles are smaller than your average polish. They look like polish mini's. They hold 0.3 fl oz - which is still plenty of polish. To give you an idea, most polishes hold 0.5 fl oz. They say they are smaller because they use higher priced ingredients - and I fully believe that.

Glitter Gal 3D Holographic Nail Polish Review:
Sometimes when I lust after a polish online I'm let down once I finally see it in person. That is NOT the case with this polish! I am in LOVE with this polish brand and I can't wait to grow my Glitter Gal collection!

The formula is wonderful, especially considering it is a linear holo. For example, when you use GOSH Holographic you really can't use a base coat - unless you use something like Nfu Oh's Aqua Base. I applied a base coat (Deborah Lippmann's Hard Rock) and the Glitter Gal polish applied on top like a dream. It went on smooth and even.

It doesn't dry as fast as other holos, but the results are worth it. It has a glossy finish! That's something that some holo's just lack (like Nfu Oh's #61 or GOSH Holographic). On top of all that good application and glossy finish, the color is b-eautiful! The linear holo effect is stunning and magical.

Over all, I HIGHLY recommend these polishes!
