China Glaze Tronica Collection: Laser Lime

Ok, I confess. I like scattered holo more than linear holo. I know that's not a popular opinion, but it is what it is.

With that out of the way, let me introduce you to my new love: Laser Lime, from the ChG Tronica Collection. I believe this is a limited edition Sally's exclusive, so get them now while you can so that you won't have to pay eBay prices for them one day.

Laser Lime is lime green with subtle rainbow holo. This is two coats with Revlon Colorstay topcoat:

Sunlight:

Shade:

I really hate that I bought this, because now I want them all. I went to Sally's to buy one just to try it out, fully expecting to be disappointed, but I fell in love.

Formula wise, it was a little sticky and goopy, but it wasn't thick and it still applied well. Weird. Like most holos, this dried super quick to a satiny finish, so topcoat is a must if you want shine.

What's a girl to do? I'm running out of storage, plus I'm really cheap and hate to buy things for full price. I could do without the purple and the teal since I have those colors from other collections, but the others are calling me. Decisions, decisions...

What do you think of the Tronica collection so far?

Happy painting!

I want in-your-face holo with mine so I will stick with the blingy ones I have. I really do like this on you tho - it pops for you.

Personally, I am going to get a few from the tronica collection.
The silver, the teal, and probably the blue one, because I like silver holos and missed the teal and blue from the OMG collection.
Like you, I really do not want to pay full price for china glaze. -__-

P.S Just found you blog(which is really good) and I'm wondering what kind of lamp are you using when you take photos of your nails?

@ChaosButterfly: I can't wait to see your swatches. I'm still debating buying more.

@Olivia, thank you! I'm all over the place when it comes to my pics. For the indoor ones, I use a 60W soft white bulb.
