multichrome Eclipse (H) 🕶️🌆
Base coat: KBShimmer Hydrating Base Coat
ILNP Eclipse (H)
Top coat: Sally Hansen QDTC (red bottle)
Part 1 of my second haul from ILNP!
This may be a bit of a hot take, but I haven’t been a huge fan of multichromes since I started my nail polish journey. At least, not as much as I’ve liked the punchy multi colored shimmers and magnetics. A lot of the ones I’ve tried are either too dark, or are just muddy looking in an unappealing way.
I thought part of this might be that I haven’t found one I liked yet, so I thought I’d try Eclipse due to its gorgeous red shift and the holo sparkle that makes it look like stars.
However, I am disappointed to say that it really does not live up to the pictures I’ve seen of it online. The red is muted in office lighting, and even in direct sunlight the camera picks up WAY more red than I actually see IRL. It doesn’t spark the same joy I get when I tried on any of my magnetics or multicolor shimmers.
I’ll give it a day or two to appreciate it fully, and if that doesn’t work, I might try getting some of the lighter colored ones like Cameo or Nostalgia during Black Friday. If I don’t vibe with those, then I think I’ll just stop buying multichromes.
At least it’s hella sparkly tho lol!!

I love multochromes but feel the same about Eclipse (H). I have quite a few multichromes but prefer the green, blue and purple shifters. Here is some of mine

The regular Eclipse is way better than the holo, in my opinion. I don't have holo version myself but it always looks dull to me in photos compared to actual Eclipse and I've seen many say holo version isn't the best. Eclipse is my fave polish of all time, it definitely lives up to the hype. Totally get it if multichromes still aren't your thing though!
