Glitter Gal Holographics Fall 2012 - Full swatches and Review

Glitter Gal Holographics
2012 Fall release

Ok I am FINALLY bringing you decent swatches of these! I attempted to swatch them last weekend however I had VERY limited sun...I would swatch one and my daughter and I would wait and as soon as the sun peeked out we would both yell SUN!! and I'd run out and take some pics....only to notice later that her camera was NOT capturing their true colors, holo or beauty! ACK! So the saga continues....today I decided was the perfect day. I had lots of time, sun and felt in a good mood to swatch.....5 down, 4 to go and as I ran out to give the mail lady a heavy box, I threw my back out! ACK!! I hobbled back into the house crying, literally.....but I would NOT be deterred! I made it through the last four and have since been relaxing with a hot water bottle and editing the pics. So without further ado (I think we've had enough...) Here they are.....warning, pic heavy!

First up we have 24 Carat. This polish is very sheer, you will see it with 3 coats below. However don't be put off by the sheerness, this polish looks very lovely. It is not a bright, in your face but a very subtle beauty. It would probably look lovely with a similarly color opaque base. The formula is nice and easy to apply. I'm very fond of the glitter gal formulas. Now for the pics ;)

Next up is Belgian Chocolate.....my favorite in the collection. I absolutely love this polish. It could almost be a one coater, however you will see two coats below. This polish is a deep brown with a hint of reddish color. Love this so much. Onto the pics...

Now we have Blue Suede Shoes (yup, I'm going in alphabetical order!) This one is pretty in its own right but not my personal favorite. It is probably the least holo of the collection however it has a nice holo sparkle. The color itself is quite lovely, reminds me of my favorite Easter candy, Robin Eggs....the bright blue ones.....I like to lick them and spread them on my lips like wild lipstick....ok, enough reminiscing.....onto the pics!

Citrine....now this one holds a special place in my heart because I suggested this color and name for them! And oh I could not be more pleased in how it looks. I love love love this gold holo....it is sheer however in 3 coats it looks like it does in my pictures below, enjoy!

Green Suede Shoes is a sheer green holo. There are 3 coats in the pics below. It is a very soft green, very delicate. I also think this one would look lovely layered over a similar opaque base.

Nude is the next in line, and it is a lovely shade! I am not a nude polish fan unless I'm using it for nail art or a base for stamping. However add some holo to the color and i LOVE it!! This one is also sheer but as you can see, it is lovely all on its own in 3 coats!

Ok...the next two....get ready cause the they are just as gorgeous as  Belgian Chocolate. This one is Teal Blue...nearly a one coater but I used two for the darker, depth of the holo. I don't even know what to say about it....love it.

 Lastly we have Wisteria...this is a lovely sheer polish. I mean the color is a perfect shade of light lavender...and the holo on this is simply stunning! I believe this one would be wonderful layered over a similar opaque base.

That is all of the new holos. I hope you enjoyed the photos and the post. I really love these and the formula. You of course can purchase these at Ninja Polish for $11.00 each. These bottles are a new, larger 10ml compared to the old 9ml.
