You're not going to find that at Walmart.Healthy nails are transparent. I've pulled together the best of the best across the internet which includes many American indie brands that are family-run small businesses. I get the urge to just pick something up while you're at the store, but places like Walmart or drugstores are very limited in what they carry and don't tend to sell smaller brands which is where some of the best colors are coming from these days. Can't I Just Buy My Holo Nail Polish at Walmart? The best way to experience holo is in motion so be sure to check out any swatch videos.
#Painting translucent nails full
Iridescent nail polish can look like they're full of many colors, but don't actually refract light. Multichrome nail polish shifts color in the light but they don't make rainbows. So Anything that Changes Color is Holographic?Ĭolor changing nail polish can be holo sure, but it also could be anything from an optical illusion to a chemical reaction in response to sunlight or temperature. When you move linear holo in the light, you can see the bands of a rainbow moving over your nails. (It's so hard to pick!) These lacquers go on smooth like scattered holo but the holographics slot in together like puzzle pieces forming a fully covered holographic surface.īecause they are so lined up and close together, all the little rainbows work together to create a larger rainbow. They're called scattered because the rainbow effect is irregular, like sunlight dancing over the surface of the ocean. Scattered holo polishes go on smooth like non-glitter lacquers and don't have large, distinguishable shapes that you could point out as being the holographic parts. Scattered is a type of holographic glitter, only much smaller. Generally, the multicolored spangles these polishes produce are large and irregular, like your nails being covered in diamonds. These polishes are tiny specks of holographic material suspended in a clear or colored nail polish base. There are three main types of holo you're going to come across: holo glitter, scattered holo, and linear holo.
Glitter or Scattered or Linear Holo Nail Polish? It's the same thing that happens when light passes through water droplets to create a rainbow as the USGS Water Science site explains.
When light is refracted, it's bent, fracturing the light into all the wavelengths of color in white light creating a rainbow. But when light hits holo nail polish, it doesn't just bounce the beam of light back, it refracts the light. Normal glitter creates a shine by reflecting light that hits it the way polished metal would. But for the price, it’s a nice way to get a nice glitter without investing in a big bottle. Keep in mind that this is a smaller bottle at seven milliliters, about half the size of a standard 15-milliliter bottle. It’s a nice way to try out if you like the holo life–because, I’ll warn you, it’s real easy to get distracted staring at your nails when they make tiny rainbows. The listing has a great picture of what the polish looks like at one coat, two coats, and three coats as well as fun examples for easy nail art.Īn all-over look with this one will have people turning their heads and just a light touch will give you a glimmer of flash without going too glam. It has a nice medium glitter load that’s not too sparse and not too thick. It’s a clear polish mini silver holo hexes for sparkle and lots of large silver holo hexes to give you dramatic rainbows when the light hits them. If you’re on the fence about a full holographic polish, try this Chunky Holographic by Born Pretty which comes with two mini bottles of polish, one a silver linear holographic and one a darker scattered holographic. The only KBShimmer polishes that are brighter than this, in my opinion, is their line of Reflective Nail Polish. To be worn on its own without using a sponge method, I’ve needed two to three coats or it can be worn as a top coat over a base color. It’s a textured polish so expect a rough finish that can be smoothed over with a clear top coat, but it might take two coats to get it smooth.
Any polish with big, chunky glitter is going to benefit from a proper shaking from beauty vortex mixers if you have one. Because of the holographics, it looks like there are way more colors packed in there when the light hits it. Hexy Bikini is a clear base loaded down with silver micro-glitter and studded with small and medium holographic hexes of silver, pink, and teal.
When Hexy Bikini moves in the light, it looks like your nails are studded with rhinestones. I’ve even had someone over a skype call notice because the holographics were visible over a video call. I have this shade I can tell you the pictures and video don’t do it justice. The only word I can think of when I see this Hexy Bikini is spangle.
