Swatch: My China Glaze - Hologlam Picks

Hi ladies! You'd have already seen which polishes I chose from the Hologlam collection if you've seen my end of month haul post, but if you haven't - here they are! Unfortunately for me, I didn't really 'look' at the polishes because I was so excited to see them in person and ended up buying virtually the same shades. Although they're no where near as holographic as the OMG collection was, or the Color Club Halo Hues, I still really like them. For some unknown reason, and I was talking to the guy at the China Glaze stand about this and he said the same thing, China Glaze have decided to really hike up the prices of this collection, I ended up paying almost £10 each for the polishes and that was at trade prices! I've definitely seen them cheaper around the Internet.


I didn't have any trouble with the application, the darker polishes only needed 1 coat for full opacity and 2 for the lighter shades. All polishes are a linear holo and dried within the first 5 minutes of application. When out of direct sunlight, they almost look like they're Suede polishes, which you'll be able to see for yourself below!
Unfortunately, the swatches aren't the best, I'm having so much trouble with extra skin around my nails lately, no matter how many manicures I do, how much cuticle cream/moisturiser I apply, they just won't go away. Also, as you can see I suffered a major nail break and had to cut all my nails down to almost nubs, so no matter how many polishes I apply to my nails, none of them look right to me. That aside, I hope you'll forgive me and enjoy the swatches after the jump!
