China Glaze Hologlam - Get Outta My Space, Not in This Galaxy, and Galactic Gray

Hey guys! Today I start in on the warmer-toned half of the China Glaze Hologlam collection. Lots of pretty pink types here. I like this personally, because pink is not always my shade of choice -- but when there are several pinker options available, you're more likely to find one that suits you. And there are a couple darker colors also, which is definitely up my alley :)

Again, like before:
  • I used Nfu Oh Aqua Base on my pinky and middle finger; no base coat on ring and index
  • I used OPI Topcoat on my middle finger; no top on the rest
  • I used 2 coats for each swatch, with some "half-coat" dabbing for patchiness
And now for the polishes!

L to R, top to bottom: Get Outta My Space, Not in This Galaxy, Galactic Gray

 Get Outta My Space is a silvery-pink lilac. This is a really pretty shade, kind of delicate I like how purple it is, even though it is pink as well. I think this is a common holo shade perhaps, but I don't have anything exactly like it, since it is a little more purple-lilac than other similar shades I have.

Not in This Galaxy is a coral. Again not the most unique holo shade, but again I don't actually have a coral holo, so I'm happy! It's nice and bright, which I really like.

Galactic Gray is a warm-tone brownish gray. The darker shades in this collection are the more holo ones, and this is no exception -- it definitely screams out HOLO! in the sun! I love that it isn't your typical charcoal gray holo, which is of course amazing but pretty common, but instead a nice warm brownish one.

There are lots of more typical holo shades in this grouping of the collection, but since I don't have a lot of those colors, that's honestly fine by me. On the other hand there is Galactic Gray which is really quite unique and amazing! Looking forward to sharing the rest of them with you guys tomorrow :)

I popped by Sally's, Ulta, and Beauty Brands today, but none of them had the Hologlam collection yet -- however, Sally's has them listed online!

Have a great day! ♥
