Swatch: Nabi Holographic Flamingo

Nabi Flamingo is a magenta pink holographic polish with a beautiful purple flash!

Formula is great although almost all of Nabi's holographic polishes that I have tried so far are on the sheer side and requires about 3-4 coat to bring out the colour.

Isnt it really gorgeous? Although I must admit that I dont think there would be holographic polish which I dont think is gorgeous.. LOL

Nabi Holographic Flamingo vs China Glaze Infra Red

For comparison, the first polish that I thought of is China Glaze Infra Red from the CG Hologlam 2013 collection!

The color for both polishes is quite close though definitely not the same, and their holographic finish is very different too. Nabi Holographic Flamingo is more of the coarse type of holographic finish while China Glaze Infra Red is the smooth type of holographic finish.

Nabi Holographic Flamingo vs China Glaze Infra Red

I guess out of these 2, I would prefer Nabi Holographic Flamingo as I was never quite a fan of China Glaze Infra Red.. The holographic effect for CG Infra Red is a little too weak for me.

Nabi Flamingo vs Nabi L.Pink vs Nabi Hot Pink

As I also have a few other pinks from Nabi, I decided to do a comparison between them as well.

In the picture above, I'm having Nabi L.Pink on my middle finger and Nabi Hot Pink on my pinkie.

This is just for comparison between the colours. The holographic effect for the 2 other pinks was not captured well.

Let me know you think! Do you like Nabi Holographic Flamingo?

Swatch: China Glaze Infra Red

Day 9: Today I have swatches of China Glaze Infra Red

Infra Red is a warm magenta pink holographic polish from the China Glaze Hologlam 2013 collection. This is one of the darker colours in the collection but it's not as holo as the rest. :(

Application-wise, this is polish is super smooth to apply, almost no bald spots and opaque. However, I think it has a slight problem of staining..

Infra Red reminds me immediately of OPI Extravagance & Orly Miss Conduct, so I took my bottles out for a little comparison. It seems that Infra Red is the missing link between the 2.. LOL.. I'll do a swatch comparison next time.

Although the holo is not so great, it's still a beautiful colour though. If you love DS Extravagance or Miss Conduct, you'll probably love this too!
