Kleancolor Holo Chrome

Hello loves! Happy Sunday! I have a very exciting announcement for you today! Lacquer Buzz finally has its own domain! So from now on you can find my blog on lacquerbuzz.com. I can't believe how easy it was to make the transition. The following 3 days or so will be a little problematic because of the transition and the new address might get some errors. The old address is still working and will be redirecting to the new one so no worries. I'm still on blogger so GFC is still working. Also don't forget you can follow me via Bloglovin, Facebooktwitter and Google+. Check out the buttons on the left sidebar for all the links!

Today's post is about a gorgeous Kleancolor glitter. There's actually a funny story about this because I regarded it more as a blue but found out today that most people see it as purple. I guess it's a blurple so that makes everyone happy.

Holo Chrome is a fine blurple glitter with a few larger blue pieces mixed in. It's not that dense so you will need at least 3 coats to get it opaque. Even at 3 coats there was still some visible nail line in certain lights. You can use some underwear polish if you don't wanna do so many coats. My pictures show 3 coats without any underwear.

What made me sad about my pictures of this was the fact that I couldn't capture the holo effect properly. The picture above is slightly blurred and only shows part of the holo. For some reason it was much stronger under my bathroom light so I snapped a picture in there too. I don't usually do that but temptation was too strong. 


I used a fast drying top coat over this because it doesn't dry very fast. It's also a top coat eater. It was still gritty after 2 coats of it so I would say a thicker one is in order if you wanna make it smooth. Luckily I'm not too obsessed with that. 


I also did some stamping over it on the second day. I used stars again because I'm obsessed with them. The accent finger is stamped with QA18 and the rest with QA17. The stamping polish is China Glaze Liquid Leather. I really love how crisp the lines on the ring finger came out. I tried it with Kleancolor Metallic Black first and it was a mess. 


These photos are in full sun so they show the holo a bit better. Removal is very hard on this one so the foil method is mandatory. I think I will try using it over a blue or purple next time. All in all I really love this polish and I think it's great value for money. What do you think? Do you see it more as a purple or as a blue?

  5. I can't believe you refer to a base polish as "underwear"... lol. It was just so unexpected, I started cracking up (how very mature of me! lol) Any-hoo, beautiful shots. I really like this color. My favorite color of all time is periwinkle, with indigo comming in second. So any "blurple" polish is bound to catch my attention :)

  6. Thank you! Well, the term is used by a lot of nail bloggers and such. I didn't even think about it but yeah, it's funny. It actually became "undies" in the meantime but I still use underwear so people know what I'm talking about, sort of, haha.
