China Glaze Tronica Comparisons: Cyberspace

Soooo, my China Glaze Tronica collection showed up on Saturday!  WHOOT!  First impression upon seeing the bottles?  BOO!  These are SO not Holos!  I immediately did skittle swatches of one coat over my current mani to see if I was right & discovered that these are all over the place as far as texture, ease of application & holographicness.  That being said, I decided to break out the review into individual colors with comparisons from my collection.  I'm a holo nut and own many :)  First up is Cyberspace.  Cyberspace is a taupe shimmer with a slight holographic nature.  This polish was thick and runny at the same time.  Thick in the sense that it did not spread super easy onto the nail, but runny because despite how much I scraped off the brush a big glob would run down and flood my nail with polish in the middle of application.  Despite this, the polish did level itself out on the nail decently upon drying.  After completely dry it has a semi matte or satin finish.  Topcoat is needed for a glossy look.  Overall I do like this color, I feel it is unique in the world of taupes, however being touted as a holographic finish is a bit of a let down :(  I managed to find some weak sunlight to snap pics in, which show how not holographic this shade is.  To my surprise, interior direct overhead lighting brought out the most holo in this shade, which was only a light yellow green glow.  Pics are 3 coats, no topcoat.
