Starlight and Sparkles Holographics & Shimmers

* I received the following polishes for my honest review by Starlight and Sparkles

I have some more polishes by Starlight and Sparkles to share with you today. These polishes are holographic and shimmer polishes. Starlight and Sparkles has a large selection of different holographic polishes, shimmers, and topcoats to choose from. There is certainly something for everyone. 

Cocoa Crystal
Cocoa Crystal is a warm deep brown linear holo.

Blaze Crystal
Blaze Crystal is a light orange linear holo.

Hot Chocolate
Hot Chocolate is a warm deep brown shimmer.

Eponymous Princess
Eponymous Princess is a neutral pink with a multi-color shimmer. 

Color: I found the shades of the holographic colors to be very unique. These are not typical shades I reach for, but I know brown and orange holos are not the easiest to find. Cocoa Crystal and Blaze Crystal are definite new to me holo colors!The shimmers are nice colors too. Hot Chocolate is a rich and warm color and I love how Eponymous Princess is simple and clean color with a hint of bling.

Formula: I used about 2-3 coats for each of these swatches. The formula on the holos were great and easy to use. The formula on the shimmer polishes was a little on the thick side, but still manageable and not difficult to apply. 

Price: Eponymous Princess and Hot Chocolate are $3.00 for a 5ml bottle. A 15ml bottle of Eponymous Princess is $8.00 and a 15ml bottle of Hot Chocolate is $7.00. Cocoa Crystal and Blaze Crystal 5ml bottles are $4.75. 15ml bottles are $11.00. You can purchase these along with many other great selections on Starlight and Sparkles Etsy site

Overall: I liked the uniqueness and formulation of the holographic polishes. I also really liked Eponymous Princess with it being soft yet sparkly at the same time.

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

Starlight and Sparkles Duochrome & Holo Topcoats

* I received the following polishes for my honest review by Starlight and Sparkles.

I have some duochrome topcoats and holographic top coat to share with you today by Starlight and Sparkles.

Starlight is a holographic top coat. 

Color: These are all great top coats! I was very impressed with the quality of these. I was particularly very impressed with the Starlight holographic top coat. I've tried holographic top coats from other indies and found them to be cloudy, murky, or cast a gray cast on my base polish. This was not the case at all with Starlight holographic top coat. This was hands down the best holographic top coat I have ever tried. The holographic quality is crisp and intense. The duochrome color shifting top coat colors are great, and would look awesome over various colors. My favorite color shifting top coat is Dragon because I found it to have the strongest color shift. 

Formula: I was pleased with the formula on all of these. They had the right consistency that made them easy to apply evenly on the nail. 

Price: You can purchase the 5ml bottles of these for $4.50 and the 15ml bottles for $10.00. There is also an option to purchase the trio of Unicorn, Phoenix, and Dragon in the 5ml bottles for $12.00 and the same trio in the 15ml for $27.00. You can purchase these polishes on Starlight and Sparkles Etsy site

Overall: I really loved these polishes! I was very impressed with their quality, and I must say Starlight holographic top coat stole the show for me.
