Color Club Kismet Nail Lacquer ($10.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is a warm, pale, chartreuse green with holographic shimmer. The only shade that I thought might be similar was Milani Hi-Tech, which is also a green polish with holographic shimmer, but it is sheerer, has larger green and holographic shimmer, and is darker, overall.

Kismet was opaque after two coats of polish, and the consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin. It spread and flowed evenly across the nail without streaking, bubbling, or pooling along the edges of the nail. It also didn’t emphasize ridges or the nail’s surface, like some holographic polishes can. The drying time was slightly faster than the average polish. The holographic effect of this polish is so strong and entrancing–there’s no worry that you won’t see it. I saw flashes of rainbow glimmer even in low light. I usually get a week of wear out of Color Club’s formula with minor tip wear but no chipping.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Gorgeous! Picture No. 7 really took my breath away. Since it has so much glitter, was it difficult to remove? I’ve been intimidated by glittery nail polishes, after one bad experience when a nail polish HAD to be gone (my hands would be seen up-close on camera the next day and bright green glittery polish would look ridiculous for that particular shoot). I spent so much time, soaking my nails, trying everything and the color WOULD.NOT.COME.OFF. Took me ages to get rid of it! Did you have any difficulty removing this one, Christine?

This actually looks like the backs of those holographic stickers (which is what I imagined holographic is supposed to look like)

Color Club nailed holos. The price point is comparatively great, the formulas the best I’ve tried, and every one I’ve seen or seen reviewed had very strong holo.
