Weird Wednesdays ~ Blue Holo Comparison

Hello Dahlings!
 
Today I have for you a comparison of 4 blue linear holographic polishes!
 
 Line up #1: Color Club Blue Heaven, Layla Ocean Rush, Color Club Over The Moon
& Born Pretty Store #8
 
 2 coats each of: pinky & thumb ~ Blue Heaven; ring ~ Ocean Rush; middle ~ Over The Moon; & 3 coats of BSP #8 on index. BSP holos need 3 coats or undies & while they are very pretty & holo-y, they're only worth buying when on sale cuz they come in really small 6ml bottles. Ocean Rush is till a pita to apply, even after adding thinner. I love the color, but it's close enuf to Over The Moon to not warrant replacing when it runs out. I won't be buying any more Layla's. The 2 Color Clubs went on like the happy dreams all of the Halo Hues are known to be.
 
 Line up #2: Revlon Powder Puff Matte Suede (it has a very subtle blue shimmer to it), Sally Hansen Lick-o-rich textured polish & dotting tool
 
I applied a coat of Seche Vite to all nails & noticed that Ocean Rush's holo-ness disappeared until the SV cured. I did the white spots using the larger end of the dotter with Powder Puff then added the black rings & mini dots using the small end of the dotter & Lick-o-rich. I didn't add more SV cuz I liked the contrast between the glossy holo rainbows, the white matte dots & the black textured bits.
 
I had to give y'all a sun pic!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
