China Glaze Holographic Collection: Infra Red

I bought this polish aaages ago on a website for about £6 I was amazed at the price, and I really liked the colour, sadly as a holographic (and I only have limited experience) this was quite disappointing.

This weekend we had a 2 day summer so on the one day I had plans to go out thought I would get out a holographic polish to stand out. Its a nice colour but I just don't think theres much 'holo' to it. The other two china glazes I had were much better, even Gosh Holographic Heroes stood out more.

Infra-Red is a great pinky red, the colour is really nice, but it looks more glittery than holo. I find all these polishes very thin. My nails are terrible, full of ridges from acrylics, slowly growing out, I should really buy a ridge filler though. I would use 2 coats of Infra-red but no top coat, in can mess with the holo effect.

When it isn't in sunlight it has a metallic look to it, and really shows off how bad my nails are! It didn't last very long either, I didn't do too much during the day, but it was starting to wear away at the tips. only slightly but for the usual price of £9 I don't want it to start to fade.

I took this a few hours after, you can see the tip wear, its not so bad though, we only had 2 days of sun so it didn't matter in the end! I am disappointed in the lack of holo though. 

I really hope a cheaper brand bring out a holo collection, I would definitely buy them all then!
