So, I while ago I had finally gotten my hands on a bottle of Gosh Holographic & I was pretty disappointed. I think that I had seen so many high reviews that I was expecting "holotopia", I found it a bit streaky & it bubbled when I put a topcoat on & it chipped very quickly. But I was determined to give it another go & this time I was quite satisfied. A couple of things I did differently: 1. I didn't put on a base coat, 2. I applied thinner coats, 3. I didn't use a fast drying top coat. I think my biggest problem last time was the application of a fast drying top coat that caused the polish to constrain & form wrinkles & bubbles. Maybe also, the last time I tried this polish was during the winter & for some reason the color looked dull & didn't compliment my skin tone, this time I'm putting it on in the summer & the polish looks quite amazing in fact, it's gotta be the lovely summer sun effect!
I took inspiration from a picture I found on Pinterest, here's the source, her's is black with silver dots so I just reversed it.

Gosh holographic
So, I finally got a bottle of Gosh Holographic & I must say it is quite lovely, however...I found it very streaky & difficult to apply. It also kinda grabbed & pulled the first layer when trying to apply the second layer, which left some bare spots, so I ended up having to do 3 coats. On top of it being really hard to find & a little expensive, I was disappointed with the amount of holo. I had heard many super amazing reviews for this & so was really excited to get my hands on it, but I feel a little let down. Maybe because I bought it on eBay, so I might have gotten an old bottle that had kinda "gone bad" so to speak, so it wasn't in the best of shape for application. I also found that it chipped super easy, like on the very same day of application, so I was a little sad.
Don't get me wrong, it is a lovely color, but being that I have a huge fascination with holographic polishes & I just don't feel this one in particular is either the right color for me or something just seemed off!
Anyways, I have a few pictures of the polish with a simple art design, I added some random light color lines to give it a little spring color pop. All pictures are taken outside in the sun:
