With the re-emergence of some sunshine, it was time for a sparkly linear holo; with my nails down to shorties, a chic dark color was in order.

Glisten & Glow released Asteroid Belt as part of the November 2017 Holo Hookup Box, and the deep sapphire/navy with the coppery contrast shimmer had me at 'hello.'

In addition to a lovely linear holo arc (more prominent than some of these pics, but not ZOMG in your face), Asteroid Belt has a light scattering of tiny holographic microglitters that come out best in lower lighting.

This was a one-and-a-half coater - not
quite opaque in a single swipe, but fairly close. The formula was smooth and easy to work with, ideal since blues this dark can otherwise be such a pain to scrub out of your cuticles.

This wore a little more quickly than I'd have liked, but since dark colors do show edgewear more starkly than lighter ones and my nails were recently clipped and filed down so really weren't at their best, YMMV.

Rating: a solid 3 out of 5 stars, this is a nice staple color and would be gorgeous as a galaxy mani background, or with a negative-space stamping design over top.
Where to buy: you know the deal with older box exclusives - blog sales & destashes it is.
