REVIEW: BornPrettyStore's Holo Polish!

Posted by Stephzilla at 9:35 PM
Hey guys!

I'm back with another review! Sorry they're so far and in between these days. I have received this polish in the mail from BornPrettyStore and was dying to share it with you guys :)

BornPrettyStore Holo Polish #12

I have chosen #12, which is a dark blue/green color. It's a darker version of peacock blue if that helps you out. What makes this polish special is the holographic glitter-esque particles in it (you'll see what I mean in a minute). 

First impression is that the bottles are small. Here's a comparison shot:

Seche Vite on left, BP Holo in middle, Bath and Body Works pocketbac in "Lavender"
Smaller amount than I thought. It's 6 ounces, when most polish bottles that I have are at least 12. The packaging is pretty good, I like the matte tops because they have a little bit of grip to them and aren't slippery. I also like how BP has their logo and things on it so we know that it's their own brand. 

Here's what I mean by holographic:


Observe the holographic-ness! This is with flash so it's a bit exaggerated. However, I like this polish because from far away it looks like a solid shade, but up close your nails have tiny little rainbows! It's a subtle effect.



This is what it looks like before I cleaned up my nails. It's a nice dark teal green color, perfect if you want a blue/green color that's not all in your face. To me, it's more of a subdued neutral shade. As for application, the polish went on smoothly and there were no visible streaks. The polish lasted a good 5-6 days with no chipping too!


Close up of thumb, you can see the little holo particles swimming about :3

I do know that China Glaze etc have released holographic polishes in the past, and they are hard to find this late after their limited release, but this would be a good substitute if you want something similar. I don't have any of the CG polishes, but by looking at swatches and such it's the same concept. 

The original price of these polishes were about $12, which is steep for such a small amount of polish, but for the quality of the polish I would purchase. 

I will also say that their color swatches are a bit off from the picture on the website and what's on my nails, just keep that in mind when you order. That goes for anything on the internet that's color-centric anyway, but just keep it in your head as you're ordering. 

Overall I really like the polish, it's something work checking out if you want a bit more glitz and glam without being over the top.

Here's a link to the polish itself:
