Holo Topcoat Comparison: The Glitters

Hey everyone, I'm temporarily back from hiatus to give you the first of three major holo topcoat comparisons. I appreciate your patience as this has taken me much longer than originally anticipated. It has really become a gigantic undertaking. This post goes over everything glitter, which accounts for 17 polishes. Scattered and linear holo topcoats will be featured in future posts, which will include another 70 or so polishes between them. I've tried to do my best in splitting the polishes up into categories. You may see some polishes appear again in later posts because they just are too close to keep in only one category. 

I've split the glitter comparison into three parts just because it's is extremely picture heavy. In each part you can also jump to a link for a feature on each individual polish which has a bunch more pictures and some macros.

I hope you all enjoy! I can't wait to hear which polishes are your favorites.

Part One - The Flakies
Part Two - The Chunky Glitters
Part Three - The Holo Glitters

Zoya A Day - March 4, 2015 - Payton

Zoya Payton

It is from the Winter 2013 Zenith collection.

This is one of Zoya's very few scattered holo polishes. Pictures are 3 coats with Seche Vite for a topcoat. I would go with 3 coats on this one for the best effect. This polish makes me wish Zoya would make more holos.

This is a currently available polish from Zoya.

Official Description:

Payton by Zoya can be best described as a full-coverage, galactic cranberry with holographic glitter.

Color Family - Red, Purple

Finish - Glitter

Intensity - 5 ( 1 = Sheer - 5 = Opaque )

Zoya A Day - February 25, 2015 - Blaze

Zoya Blaze

It is from the Winter 2012 Ornate collection.

This is one of Zoya's very few scattered holo polishes. Pictures are 3 coats with Seche Vite for a topcoat. You may be okay with 2 coats, but it seems more color accurate and opaque at 3 coats.

This is a currently available polish from Zoya.

Official Description:

Blaze by Zoya can be best described as a full coverage, cool-toned medium mulberry red with a high concentration of micro fine diamond holographic glitter. The multidimensional holographic glitter adds complexity and depth to this vampy red.

Color Family - Red

Finish - Glitter

Intensity - 5 ( 1 = Sheer - 5 = Opaque )
