Again, my swatches are without top coat. I used 3 coats of the first 2 polishes and 1 coat of the topper.

ITB! dried up darker than in the bottle, and if you look closely, you'll see that there's tiny blue bits in there as well. I like it! And could've probably gotten away with 2 coats of this one too.
GTBH has a gorgeous red/orange/pink shimmer, but on itself it doesn't look so nice with my skintone, it easily gives me lobsterhands. This one did need the 3rd coat to even things out, it was a bit thinner as well.
HTP! isn't a linear holo topper unfortunately, oh how I wish it was! Instead it's holographic microglitter in a tinted base. Still pretty, but that can't beat a linear holo if you ask me. Because of the tinted base you have to be a little bit careful with the application to get it on even.
I also bought the Glowing In The Dark topper, and I was looking forward to making pictures with it, but as you maybe read... it's not a glow in the dark polish at all! If you read the small letters on the back, you'll see that it's actually a glow under black light polish. Big disappointment! I'm not even gonna bother showing you this clear topper (in fact, my sister could make someone happy with it so I don't even have it anymore), but then you know, in case you wanted to buy it as well.
What do you think of these grey polishes and the holo topper?
gorgeous topper!
ReplyDeleteI love them all!!! Essence has such beautiful polishes! Great swatches as usual Bregje.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for them to come to Oz
ReplyDeleteThe holo top coat seems close to Just can't get enough TC from the Remix your style TE....
ReplyDeletethanks for the info about the glow in the dark TC!
I love the grey polish but yeah...I'm still not sure if I'll buy it or not!
Love the topper!!
ReplyDeleteSoooo, Essence have finally figured out what "holo" means. :P
ReplyDeleteI love them all but the first two are my favorite! Great swatches :]
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, all of these are amazing. Must haves!
ReplyDeleteMmm... so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI meant to get the glow in the dark topper, but I'm glad you pointed out it does not work that way at all!! Thanks for sparing me a couple of euros, lol!
ReplyDeleteI was just counting my polishes and divide them into color groups and discovered that grey is the most represented color in my stash and jet I have to buy those two because I don't have anything similar. A while ago Essence had some LE with the holo is similar or maybe it is the same base so I don't feel the need to buy this one too
ReplyDeleteI like I'm The Boss, just because of the name. GTBH is so pretty with it's shimmer,it's a grey I could really learn to love,since I hardly every wear grey polish.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is probably I'm The Boss, but I love all three! They're so pretty.
ReplyDeletelooove grey-t to be here!
ReplyDeletei think i will buy all of those nail polishes
