Possibly the best holo in the history of mankind

Not to be dramatic or anything.

Nicole by OPI’s Seasons Gray-tings is surely a fine, fine specimen of a holographic nail polish if ever there was one. I’m hard to please when it comes to holos. I don’t like when they’re too chunky—it’s just an odd finish that feels garish. The OPI Designer Series really does nothing for me (except DS Diamond, which isn’t a holo). SG-T is nice and silky.

SG-T is also notable for it’s darkness. Despite dark and deep colors ruling the rest of the nail polish world, most holos haven’t caught up yet. SG-T is a dark charcoal purple, less brown/plummy and more opaque than OPI My Private Jet. It’s more purple that Color Club’s recently released Revvvolution. China Glaze Let’s Do It In 3-D, a dark gray, is far lighter than the other three and has the chunky, more glittery finish characteristic of the Kaleidoscope collection.

But SG-T is unique for another reason: it moonlights as a duochrome. It flashes purple, just at the crest of the holographic rainbow. The only other polish I know with this quality is OPI DS Illuminate, a caramel brown holo with grass green flash.

It is hard to imagine a company topping this holo. The base color is just right, the finish is divine, I don’t feel like a drag queen wearing it. It reminds me of TV static. Rainbow TV static.

Seasons Gray-tings is discontinued and semi-hard to find. On ebay it often sells for $20, which is a lot for nail polish but I think it’s more than worth it. Beg, borrow, or steal to get this color. In a few years you won’t be able to find it at all.
