Good
afternoon everyone! Today I’m going to compare Julep’s blue holographic
polishes! I’m not certain why it seems like Julep has more blue holos than any
other color, but they certainly have quite a few! The only blues holos of
theirs I’m missing are Tomi (I’ve been avoiding it because I worry it’s just
too close to Hallie, but if I do get it I’ll add it in) and the two blues from
last holiday’s mini holographic set, Kinsey and Yvette.
From
left to right: Jennye, Tali, Ayonna, Hallie, Tessa, Eliza, Ginny, Delores.
Bottom, Cecile.
I
decided to throw in Cecile (Lighten Up Collection, March 2016) at the bottom
even though it’s more green than any of the rest. The only other one of these
with a lot of green in it is Hallie, which is much lighter and bluer. It’s also
the only one of these that is a jelly finish (so does Tomi, but it’s also
lighter and bluer). Everything else is much more opaque.
Jennye
(Spring to It Collection, March 2017) – Jennye, one of the newest of these, is
definitely filling a void in Julep’s lineup, that being light blue. The base of
this is similar to Jessica, only a bit more purple toned. Jennye is one of the
finer, blingier, less silvery, more linear holographics, which gives it a much
different look than Tali.
Tali
(New Year Fresh Look Collection, January 2016) – Tali has always been the
strongest of the Liquid Holographics, but has a distinctly different look than
the 2016-7 Holographics like Eliza and Jennye. Tali is a sky blue with a strong
but not quite as in your face holo effect. The glitter in Jennye or Eliza jumps
off of the polish, while the holo in the Liquid Holographics compliments the
base color and is one with it.
Ayonna
(Hatch Me If You Can Mystery Box, April 2017) – The new kid, Ayonna is unique
in that when not flashing holo, the glitter appears silver against the denim
blue background. In fact, when not flashing holo Ayonna quite looks like denim!
It’s like a holo pair of jeans! It’s darker than Tali and lighter and less
purple than Tessa.
Hallie (Holo Days Mystery Box, July 2015) – Hallie is by far the most teal out of all the blue holographics, but not as green as Cecile. Hallie looks like Caribbean resort water! It has a subtler holo effect that’s hard to see in indirect lighting but visible and quite chic in sunlight or bright light.
Tessa
(All is Bright Trio, Holiday 2015) – I don’t think I realized how much purple
was in Tessa until I compared it to all these other blue holos! Tessa is a dark
blue with a lot of purple, but not so much purple as Delores. It is of the
Liquid Holographic formula that is less blingy and more silvery, but in the
sunlight is quite beautiful.
Eliza
(Endless Summer Collection, August 2016) – Eliza, as mentioned above, is what
I’m going to call a 2016-17 Holographic, Julep’s new favored form of
holographic shimmer being this less silvery and more linear holographic. Eliza
is somehow simultaneously dark and bright blue, Julep calls it an “infinite
ocean blue” and I wholeheartedly agree, It’s similar in color, except brighter,
to Tessa, but their holographic glitter is quite different.
Ginny
(This Way to the Soiree, December 2016) – Ginny is a whole other animal
compared to the rest of Julep’s blue holos. The holo in Ginny is incredibly
fine and almost hard to see in some lights, and it also has some orange
shimmer, which is mostly lost on the nail but it gives the polish a lot of
depth. It’s far purpler and darker than Eliza, which has little purple in it.
Delores
(Kisses, London Collection, September 2015) – Delores is very violet, but a
very blue toned one. This Liquid Holographic is pretty close to Tessa, but
putting Delores next to Tessa does really show that Tessa deep down really is
blue.
