China Glaze - When Stars Collide

Hey Everyone!

Today I have a short post for you of swatches of my first China Glaze! This is two coats of China Glaze 'When Stars Collide' (no topcoat). Not only this is my first China Glaze, it is also my first Holographic polish. When in direct sunlight this polish comes alive, it has a gorgeous holographic rainbow shimmer and is a deep purple plummy colour.

Holographic polishes hadn't really bothered me till I bought this one and now I know what all the hype is about. I am definitely going to be on the look our for more Holographic polishes, especially since we have just started summer here in New Zealand so we'll be getting heaps of sun to show off the holographic rainbow.

That's all for now, check out my Instagram to see a couple Christmas mani's I have done in the past week!
