Boots 17 new holographic nail polish


It seems I've gone holographic crazy, either that or I'm just excited to see them around on the high street more readily. The newest (and second) holo polish that I've tried is from 17 at Boots. This is not a brand that I've ever tried before but I heard about this new polish from them and decided to give it a go.

I do like this polish and like that I've seen it in lots of boots stores - basically if you want to get hold of this it won't be an impossible task to find it like it was with the gosh one for a while. Like 'holographic hero' this was a light silver colour with plenty of colour shift.


This polish is available at Boots for £3.99 as part of the 17 range, or online here

In the bottle this looks exactly the same as the gosh holo polish but it looks a little different on the nail. The holographic effect is less linear which makes it a little more subtle although this shows up less flat than 'holographic hero' under dull lighting. The formula was a little thin on this one which made it a 3-coater for me but it went on fairly evenly.

I'm really happy that we're seeing some more holo polishes on the high street, what do you think of the new, more affordable holographic offerings? I know I'd personally love to see some different coloured holo polishes creeping onto the UK high street
