Glitter Gal Red 3D/Holo & Color Club Wild At Heart (purple) holographic polish reviews

In this natural daylight  photo I am wearing a base coat of
Sally Hansen Hard As Wraps, 2 coats of Wild At Heart, and
1 coat of Orly Sec 'N Dry.

In this post I am going to review Color Club "Wild At Heart", a dark purple holographic polish, and Glitter Gal "Red 3D/Holo" a strawberry red holographic polish that borderlines on dark pink.

Color Club Wild At Heart
used for stamping.

Wild At Heart is a gorgeous shade of  dark purple but the holographic effect is weak. It shows up best in bright daylight, the holographic effect is not very noticeable under normal indoor lighting. It applies easily, without any dragging or bald spots.  It is perfectly opaque with 2 coats. Top coat does not dull the holographic effect. This polish can also be used for stamping.

Glitter Gal's Red 3D/Holo  has a very strong holographic effect, and top coats do not dull it. It applies easily without dragging or bald spots. It is very sheer and  requires multiple coats to become opaque, unless you use it over another opaque polish.  In good lighting, this polish is more of a strawberry pink than  a true red.  I am not a fan of the color pink in any shade. I simply wont wear pink polish, so I am very disappointed with the color.

This Glitter Gal polish was $16 with shipping included, so I had to try to salvage this color "mistake". The solution for me is layering.

On the left is 2 coats of Glitter Gal Red 3d/holo. 

On the right is one coat of Revlon Top Speed 

in  Cherry with 1 coat of Red/3D holo on top,

 and 1 coat of Orly Sec 'N Dry.

When I applied one coat of it over a red polish, there wasn't a noticeable color change, but I did get opaque coverage. When I tried it over  the Wild At Heart dark purple polish I was already wearing, I got results that I like.  With 1 coat of glitter gal over 2 coats of purple I got a nice dark  burgundy wine holo, with 2 coats I got a lighter burgundy wine holo.

I have several burgundy garments in my closet that could use a lovely burgundy polish to go with them, so this layering result works for me. It also gives the option of wearing purple polish for a day or 2 then doing a quick change by adding the red holo over it to go with a  different outfit.   I'm still on the quest for a  strong red holo that is truly red, and not pinkish.

In this photo I applied the Red 3d/Holo over the previous manicure

of 2 coats of Wild At Heart. On the first 2 fingers I am wearing 1

coat of Red 3D/Holo, on the 3rd finger I have 1 thin and 1 thick

coat of  Red, and on the last finger I have 2 thin coats of red. 

My top coat is Orly Sec 'N Dry.
