After all these pictures, it's undeniable that both the OMG and the Kaleidoscope collections are simply outstanding! The Tronicas are really nice but they just obviously don't compare; I guess you can't put scattered and linear holos in the same category...
In conclusion, I'll just repeat what I already said before, I love the Tronicas and they are perfect for those days where you need to tame all the crazy holo wildness!!! And yes, I must confess that as much as I cherish linear holos, sometimes I can also need something a tad more subdued too, LOL



*Tickle My Triangle should be in the Hyper Haute / QT comp, instead of Don't Be Square, but since it's the only one I'm missing from the Kaleidoscope Collection, I couldn' include it :'(
Kaleidoscope Him Out is in both Techno Teal / DV8 and High Def / 2NITE comps because the Kaleidoscope Collection only featured one blue instead of two like both Tronica and OMG.
Let's Do It In 3-D, the 12th Kaleidoscope medium grey nail polish isn't mentionned in this post, it didn't compare to any of the Tronica / OMG but I'll definitely review it someday, being in of my all-time top 10 favorites.

I'd also like send all my love and gratitude to a very dear friend who helped me gather a majority of my OMG Collection *big hugs*

  1. Wonderful comparison post, I didn't manage to get any of the OMG or Kaleidoscope collection. Am keen to try and get some of the Tronica collection as they do look pretty. xx

  2. Thank you so much for this wonderful post! So many photos, I guess this comparison was so much work, but I think it's really great to see the differences between these three collections!

  7. question bête : toutes les photos sont de toi ? *_*

    je te vénère !!!

  8. Thanks girls, I'm happy you're enjoying the post!

    @Ninea it does take blogger to acknowledge the amount of work, thank you! I had a hard time playing hide and seek wih the sun for these pictures but I'm happy with the result.
    @terry the Kaleidoscopes are definitely more holo than the OMGs, they have both linear and scattered holo, even under very low lighting you can see much more holoness in them.
    @Iro Stp ne sniffe pas de dissolvant, c'est mauvais pour toi LOL. Merci pour tes compliments mais surtout pour ton franc parle, tu m'as bien fais rire!!! Et pour repondre a ta qestion, c'est bien moi qui ai pris toutes ces photos / Please do not sniff acetone, it's bad for you LOL. Thanks for the compliment but especially for your bluntness I had a good laugh!!! And to answer your question, I did take all these pics.

  12. I love this post!! I can't wait to get my hands on the Tronica collection. Troinca is the least holo, but still my favourite. I think the finish is quite like OPI DS Extravagance

  14. These polishes all look so pretty together, and this post is making me yearn for the linear OMG holos I do not have, namely the pinks and corals, even though I don't usually fancy those colors on myself. I still am not a fan of the Tronica collection though.

    I've recently been introduced to your blog, and I must say, it's practically perfect in every way. You have excellent taste, and the quality is superb. I appreciate your efforts!
