Gosh Holographic Swatched
12th August, 2012 - Posted by Emily - 20 Comments
Today I have a post about GOSH Holographic! I’ve been meaning to post a swatch of this gorgeous polish for ages as I found it some time ago. But this was actually the first time I’ve worn it properly as a full manicure. Can’t believe I’ve waited this long!
GOSH released this holographic polish and then discontinued it not too long after. I don’t think I was into nail polish when this was released so I completely missed out! I’ve been looking for it for over a year without much hope of ever finding it. Every time I would walk past the GOSH display I’d have a quick browse to see if I could spot it. Then a few months ago I was looking through the discount clearance baskets at my local drugstore, I couldn’t find anything interesting but then I spotted this dirty looking GOSH bottle, almost threw it right back before looking at the name labelled on the top which read “549 Holographic”. OH MY GOD! I was completely dumb struck! The girl behind the cash register saw my face and actually went “are you okay?”. Try explaining the significance of this polish to a muggle. 
I was lucky enough to find two bottles (can you believe my luck?). I sold the spare bottle to a lovely woman from Alaska and kept the other. I also found a bottle of GOSH Fix Base Plus, the base coat designed specifically to layer beneath GOSH Holographic. It makes a huge difference using the base coat, I only had some tip wear after about three days which is pretty great for a holo.
I think I’ve probably stared at my nails several hours a day while wearing this. I cannot wait to get more holos, as this is the only true linear holographic polish I own. I’m waiting to get a bottle of Jade Magia Negra in a swap, so excited! Anyway, there’s rumours GOSH are bringing this back soon (August/September?) so keep your eyes open for it! I know I’ll certainly be picking up some extra back-ups.
Have you tried holographic polishes?

Eee – this stuff looks MAGICAL!
It reminds me of the holographic folders I used to take to school when I was in elementary school, hee. :3
Would totally rock this on my own nails if I ever found it.

It's a very fun nail polish idd! I love your picture so much, it's really good! I did a post about this np this week as well, and I had the hardest time to photograph it, it's just so complex to capture it properly.

ik heb op het moment maar 1 holo, en ik kijk er dan ook enorm naar uit dat gosh deze terug in de rekken brengt!! Ik durf te wedden dat die meteen uitverkocht is… Dan maar een dagje shoppen in Antwerpen plannen om hem te pakken te krijgen…Overlaatst had ik ook een "holy grail" moment, toen ik nog revoltaire lipstick vond in het sales bakje van het kruidvat. Ik heb mezelf moeten knijpen om het te geloven…zoiets onverwacht vinden maakt mijn dag altijd goed! (hoe hard het ook regend)..
<3 holo, could stare at it forever…hypnotising!!

Ik heb hem toendertijd gelukkig ook via-via gekregen/gekocht, zo lief! Toen ze hem niet meer verkochten gingen de prijzen plots torenhoog op internet.

Ik denk ook dat hij snel uitverkocht zal zijn maar ik denk wel dat we eentje zullen vinden vooraleer ze weg zijn. Ja inderdaad, niks zo leuk als limited editions in de sales bakjes vinden hihi! Zo heb ik nog een extra backup kunnen kopen van mijn favoriete lipstick ooit, Marie Antoinette van de Catrice Urban Baroque collectie.

Ja nog steeds, blijft een felbegeerde nagellak omdat hij VHTF is. (very hard to find) Leuk dat je ook een hebt kunnen bemachtigen! Is echt wel een must-have in je collectie hé? Hihi

Holographic collections get discontinued quickly because the pigments are hard to find in bulk (I believe).

De datum van de re-release in de gaten houden! Dan ga je normaal zeker een exemplaar kunnen vinden.

I know this post is from August, but I just found your blog! I have been looking for holographic polishes, too! I love them, and hardly anyone makes them. I just bought Layla Hologram Effect in Mercury Twilight and it is PERFECT at three shades (or four if you really want to be sure). I just love it. And it's dry almost instantly. You can tell it's dry hen the hologram gets really shiny. It was only $15 for a regular bottle!

This is the first holographic nail polish that I tried and I absolutely LOVED it! There's a dimension to the polish that just can't be captured on camera. I too could not stop staring at my nails when I had it on.
