Continuing with the China Glaze Hologlam Collection, I've got another holographic polish to share with you today. Take A Trek is a cool-toned deep blue that dries to a linear holo.
It's an interesting blue, with a slightly faded denim quality to it. Application is easy and quick, with just two coats for opacity. This collection in general has fantastic formulas. I do find that with these, the second coat is best done with a light touch. Be sure that there is enough polish on the brush, and then apply the second coat with as few strokes as possible. The formula is pretty forgiving, but every once in a while, I'll drift off in my thoughts and realize I've gone over the same area too many times, which makes it patchy.
You can find Take A Trek at your local nail salons and at beauty stores such as Ulta and Sally Beauty for a retail price of $14 for 0.5 fl oz.

Hey, I like this one. It seems like I don't see you in many dark colors? Or maybe that's just lately. This looks so pretty on you! You make me want every polish you show:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this, Essie! Mmmm you're right, I think I haven't worn much dark colors lately... I think it's cause there are so many pretty light spring colors out. :-)

It's very pretty, but the holo effect is so subtle! I think I'll skip this collection! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think it's pretty. The holo is definitely more subtle with this collection. :-)

This is really pretty. I got the other blue, Strap On Your Moonboots and passed on this one. I'm still debating if I need it or not.
ReplyDeleteHehe I really like this blue, but Strap On Your Moonboots is pretty too. Tough decision. :P

Hi Yun, Take a Trek looks so cool on you <3!! I made the same observations about the formula. While the holo effect is not overly strong it's just this that makes this Collection look nice indoors or with overcast weather. - Christine
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Christine! It's a very wearable collection. :-)

It's beautiful, and in some lights the holo is actually quite OK :)
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm glad you like it, Maria! :-)

It looks more denim than holo (wrong collection?) haha! But anyhow it's really interesting!
ReplyDeleteHehe it could be my pictures... there was no sunlight so I had to use a light. :D

Whoa... that's soooo pretty! Such a nice colour!!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like denim! Very pretty and low-key.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you think so! :D

I just got the whole collection a few days ago and it looks gorgeous. This is a fantastic colour.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you're a fan of this color and the collection! :-)

So pretty! I know that many people do not like the fact that the holo is not so "in you face" but I prefer that way. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this! I'm also a big fan of the subtle holo! :-)

This is probably my favorite out of all of them! It is a beautiful blue!!
ReplyDeleteIt really is! I'm glad you like it! :-)
Delete~ Yun
hmm.... I so know what you mean about drifting in your thoughts and realizing you were going over the same area over and over LOL Happens to me too often...
ReplyDeleteThis color is definitely a must to my stash! No doubt!!!
Haha nice to see I'm not the only one! :-)
