Up next, the 800's

After the 600 series of Hologram polishes, Catherine Arley also has and 800 series.  These are more shimmer than holo, but there is some, and they've been marketed as holographic, so I *had* to get them, too.

The first one is 800, and it's a really beautiful true red.  I'd be hard-pressed to categorize it as cool or warm, blue or yellow toned.  It doesn't lean purple or orange.  It all depends on the lighting.  In cool lighting it's cool and in warm lighting it's warm.  Either way, it's lovely.

The epitome of a feminine color in my book.  Perhaps I'll try photographing it under an OTT light...
