Glitter Gal's holo polishes dry naturally to a silky smooth satiny sheen. Both polishes are beautifully formulated, apply easily and well and dry very quickly. I added topcoat to both manicures for gloss, color emphasis and scratch protection.
Belgian Chocolate is a rich dark burgundy brown with a distinct purple emphasis in its holo flair. In shade it is a deep dense wine color with golden graining and a silky look. In sunlight, each finger nail transforms into a jewel-like burst of chocolate brown with an intense holographic rainbow flash. Incredibly dramatic and beautiful, this one would be wonderful on your mom's toes!

The dark silky color of Belgian Chocolate gives it a rich luxurious feel on the nail and there is a sort of mysterious elegance to it that is very romantic. In the sun it is just startlingly beautiful and irresistible to the eye. The prismatic blue and violet colors are particularly strong and look fabulous against the brown.
Blue Suede Shoes is by comparison relatively delicate, a lovely translucent light sky blue with hints of periwinkle. I love and adore this color! It reminds me very much of milky blue depression era glass or light blue porcelein or glass enamel, it has the same sort of luminosity to it. The holographic flair in Blue Suede Shoes is just as strong as it is in Belgian Chocolate but it's not as overt if that makes any sense. I think it has to do with the translucent quality of Blue Suede Shoes' blue color. If you view the surface of the nail in direct light from a very low angle, you will see a robust linear prismatic flair. But the holo effects can seen, if faintly, from any angle and in almost any lighting situation.

Prrrrretty! I like it very much. It's a very complimentary cool shade of blue, especially in the summer. There's a soothing quality to this polish despite it's holographic character and it sits lightly on the nail. It reminds me of those days where the sky is essential clear except for way up in the stratosphere where you have a light thin wispy layer of cirrus clouds.
Glitter Gal has a large line of holo colors, including a fan favorite dark green holo called Lizard Belly. Perhaps I'll have to target that one for an upcoming Glitter Gal purchase, eh? Because I think you need a green holo for your own collection.
love,
Aunt Liz
