Brown and Black Holo Comparison

I'mmmm baaaack! My nails are finally starting to look better and grow nicer! I will have my post of the experience using Nailtique.

Today I have a comparison post to show you.

I will be comparing:

OPI My Private Jet (brown holo)

OPI My Private Jet (charcoal-brown holo)

HITS Zeus

Glitter Gal 10 to Midnight

Glitter Gal Black

Direct Sunlight

LtoR: OPI MPJ(brn holo), OPI MPJ(charcoal holo), HITS Zeus, 

GG 10 to Midnight, & GG Black holo

Indoor Natural Light

As you can see, the closest ones are HITS Zeus and GG 10 to Midnight. The only difference is that the GG has more of a metallic finish in the sun. After swatching this, I'm not too sure I'm in love with my brown holo MPJ! Don't call me crazy now!

If you would like I can also compare two of the newer versions of MPJ and my black holo franken. Just let me know :)

Silver holo's are gorgeous! There aren't many out there, but the ones that are can be comparable. I do not own every single silver holo out there, but I do have a few that I can compare.

The smoothest and best linear is

China Glaze OMG.

The next best holo's are

GOSH Holographic, MUS Greta, and Nfu Oh 61.

The dupes are 

GOSH Holographic, MUS Greta, and Nfu Oh 61.

I should also add that I used Make Up Store Aqua Fix as a base for GOSH, MUS, and Nfu Oh.

Comparison Post: Green Based Glitter

Today I have something a little different to show you. Many have fallen in love with the Color Club Holiday Splendor from the Beyond the Mistletoe collection. When I saw this one I immediately thought of China Glaze Atlantis, so I knew a comparison post was due.


I also have a discontinued Funky Fingers Blitzen, which is made by the same company as Color Club, that I will be comparing to these two. Feel free to click the pictures to enlarge them.

L to R: Color Club Holiday Splendor, China Glaze Atlantis, Funky Fingers Blitzen

Funky Fingers Blitzen

Conclusion: CC Holiday Splendor is a dupe for FF Blitzen.

China Glaze Atlantis is a lighter green/teal jelly base with only one size of round holographic glitter.

price- $3.50 to $8.00

exclusivity- available online or in beauty supply stores

bottle size- 14 mL

Color Club Holiday Splendor is a brighter jelly green base with multiple sizes of holographic glitter.
