INM Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat - Gold

I've already reviewed the silver version of the Northern Lights top coat, this time around I'm looking at the gold version.

As with the silver, Northern Lights gold is a clear base with holographic glitter suspended in it. In order to get the full effect, you need to give the bottle a vigorous shaking, as all of the glitter settles in the bottom.

The holographic effect is a sparkle, rather than a linear holo. The gold version is easily as holographic as the silver, but the actual glitter seems to be a little finer. Because of that, I found I needed an extra coat or two to get the same effect that two coats of silver gives.

INM Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat - Silver

If you're a somewhat-regular reader, you may have gathered that I have a bit of a weakness for glitter & holo polishes. Upon seeing pictures of the Northern Lights top coat, I gave a little gasp & swore that I would add it to my nail polish stash at my earliest opportunity.

Upon first glance, the bottle looked very disappointing. The holo glitter settles, so, unless you give it a good shake, it looks as though it's just a clear top coat. Given a good, vigorous shake, it becomes a little bottle of glittery, holo beauty.
