Even though the holo effect was introduced many moons ago, it’s a happy fact that it’s still on trend. Holographic nails are the ones that create a shiny rainbow like effect on the surface of your nails. The holo effects on nails are achieved by using holo nails powders.

People often confuse holo nails with chrome nails. Even though the process of application is the same for both there are three major differences between them. Chrome nails are way too shinier than the holographic ones and it doesn’t produce a rainbow effect. Also, the nail powder applied on the shiny coat of nail gel is different from each other.
