Hi-Res is a holographic glitter in a pale lavender base. I've actually never seen a glitter like this...it's like each piece is a tiny little holographic scale. Like on a fish! Because of this, the holo has a peculiar effect of being smooth but broken up at the same time. And when you look in the shade, you see a ton of little flat, silvery bits. It's really beautiful.

The formula on this was very nice. It spread easily, and reached full opacity in three coats. These pictures were with four, because I just felt like putting another coat, but honestly, it would have been just fine in three. The polish dried perfectly smooth, if a little matte, and the removal is very easy. I use the Beauty Secret Acetone stuff and it comes right off like a regular polish.
While I would like it better if the base was a deeper purple (think Zoya Yasmeen-ish), I really like this polish. All the little plates give it a soft, delicate look, which makes it easier to wear than some of the smooth, in your face holos. And I think they also make it more special. I have two more colors from the 3D Holographic Collection, and one from the core collection that I plan on posting in the next few days, and that'll be it for the Milanis for a while.
I guess that's all....I hope everyone has a great Easter!
