Holographic nail colors have been a much-discussed topic amongst nail polish lovers for quite some time, inspiring comparisons that would make your head spin, nail art to die for and many more. Linear or scattered, with or without the special base, budget-friendly or top price – picking just one holographic nail polish in a sea of gorgeous choices is not an easy task. China Glaze OMG collection, Chanel’s special Holographic set as well as Nfu Oh’s old formula might be the most popular (and, unfortunately, less available) but there are tons of others holographic nail colors to tickle your fancy! Here are some I particularly like and think you would, too.
1 Color Club - Blue Heaven
An amazing part of the Color Club puzzle – this light bluish, oh-so-very-holo polish really deserves its place in the holographic nail colors hall of fame! I’m still dying to get my hands on this shade despite the fact that I’m so not a fan of blues, simply because it complements the holographic effect to such a degree, making it a really striking, true holo no polish addict can resist.
Frequently asked questions
2 Jade - Mystic Gold
If you’re a fan of rich, saturated gold hues as much as I am, you’ll definitely want to give this holographic nail polish a go! It’s an amazing, very rich, summer-friendly gold with a nice, glossy finish and an amazing linear holo effect that really takes the stage in bright light. A beach favorite, for sure!
3 KIKO - Silk Taupe
A treat for all of you with the luxury of boasting about having a KIKO shop nearby or, at least, some friends willing to play the middle man and mail you a box full of goodies from time to time! Don’t forget to put this dainty, yet surprisingly holographic shade on your wish-list, ladies – it’s really all that and then some!
4 Gosh - Holographic Hero
The world’s most famous one-nighter, this uber cool Gosh polish is a definite must-have. Standard-looking silver in low light might not look like much but wait until you get an eyeball on those mesmerizing holographic particles that will show like crazy in full sun. No wonder it's been everyone’s favorite for so long, even despite the fact that this particular holographic nail color doesn’t last more than a day.
5 Color Club - beyond the Mistletoe
Introduced as a part of the holiday collection, this next polish I can’t help but mention is a perfect mix between a holo and a glitter polish. It’s the best of both worlds, actually, a breathtaking silvery green holo-glitter you can layer for full coverage or use as a top coat to holo-up a wide variety of other nail polishes.
6 Glitter Gal - Lizard Belly
One of my most favorite, most unique shades ever, this Glitter Gal creation really does make me wish I had some friends abroad willing to do the shopping for me! Give it a try if you can find it, I promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s a funky shade indeed, a dark black-green with a surprisingly pronounced holograph effect for such a dark polish.
7 Layla Flash Black
Not really black-black but a stunning charcoal for sure and that awesome linear holographic effect is no laughing matter either! What can I say – I absolutely adore dark polishes! Check it out, swatch it and you’ll fall in love with it, too!
