Don't let the names of these polishes fool you - they are not holo by any means!
They're actually a duo-chromatic glitter in a slightly tinted base.
I think Kleancolor caught on to the holo craze and decided to name their polishes this way to get more attention/sales!
I took bottle pictures in two lighting conditions to show the prettiness in the bottle.

You might be looking at the bottles and thinking "Wow, so many colors!"
But don't let the bottles fool you, you don't see that on the nail. (Sadly.)
Here's how they look on their own on a nail wheel:
They're very very sheer and it wouldn't be attractive wearing them alone.
A bit of advice I can give about these polishes since trying them is that you do NOT need more than one. Regardless that they all have a slightly tinted base, they look the same once you layer them.
As you can see, they're identical over black. And over most other colors (besides really light ones) the tinted base is not going to make a noticeable difference.
Now here they are over other polishes! It's best to use them over dark polishes to let the glitter show up more.
This is Chunky Holo Teal over OPI - Ski Teal We Drop.
It's pretty, but it's not totally my thing. Things that have this orange-green color shift just don't do it for me!
You mostly just see the orangey yellow flash. You have to look on extreme angles to see the true green:
Not very impressed.
This is Chunky Holo Purple over Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Trouble Maker.
The glitter is the same, so the flash is the same - mostly orange, with green only at extreme angles.
Weirdest pictures ever! But that was the only angle that I could see the green that way.
For some people I'm sure these are dreamy! But for me, meh.
Fortunately, I only paid $1.75 for each of these on Beauty Joint.
What do you think? Are these your thing?
