Speciallità Hits no Olimpo Holographic Nail Collection Swatches and Review

I know we've all been craving some new holos lately, so when Speciallità asked me if I wanted to review their Hits no Olimpo collection, I was super excited. The Hits no Olimpo collection is a set of thirteen holographic shades, all named after deities of the Greek pantheon.

All photos are in this order: Natural light, flash, sunlight.

Afrodite. A coral pink linear holo. This one is so much prettier in real life. It's really rich and almost candy-like. It doesn't look like most other pink holos.



Apolo. Deep blue linear holo. This one is super holographic and very vibrantly blue. I have to say... Much better than OPI Designer Series Magic.



Ares. A bold, fiery red linear holo. This is a finer holo than Ozotic Pro 621 or Glitter Gal Red Holo. This one is amazing.



Artemis. What's this? A unique silver holographic?! It's true. Instead of being pure silver holo particles like most, this is a smooth silver chrome base with holo mixed in. It looks half chrome and half holo, but the end result is beautiful. And I know it's supposed to be named for the goddess of the hunt, but I always think of this when I hear Artemis:





Atena. A deep pink linear holo. I really like seeing holographic polishes in these brightly colored shades! I'm honestly a little sick of all the pastel holos. These shades are really refreshing.



Demeter. Wow... an orange holo. I never thought I'd see one! But this one is most definitely orange and it is quite holographic. Not as strong in hologram effect as the other shades, but still pretty good. I don't think I've ever seen an orange holo before, so this is fantastic!



Dionisio. Deep blue-toned purple holo. One of the darker colors in the collection. Similar to, but not an exact match of, a england Lady of the Lake.



Hefesto. Sheer silver holographic. I believe that this is supposed to be a topcoat, but it works very well by itself. I really like the look of the clear base with the super holo effect. It looks magical. I haven't tried this over any other colors yet, but I can say with confidence that it will definitely have a much stronger hologram effect than China Glaze Wireless topcoat. I mean... look at it. It's awesome!



Hera. Deep teal holo. I'm so happy about all these darker/deeper/richer colored holographic polishes. Very relieved that this collection isn't full of just pale pink/silver/gold/lime green/pastel blue holo shades.



Hermes. This color. I can't get over it. It's so gorgeous. Like Artemis, it's not a pure holographic finish. It's a pale gold chrome with holo. I don't think I have used another gold holo quite like this. This is a 'rich girl' polish if I ever saw one. It screams luxury. Doesn't it look expensive? Gold plated and diamond encrusted.



Hestia. Here's the pale pink holo. It's not bad, though- this one has a bit of purple in it so it's almost more of a lilac than a pure pink. Very strong linear holo effect in this one, too.




Poseidon. This one may have the strongest hologram effect out of all the shades. I think it's because the base is a little more metallic than the other shades. The rest of them seem to have jelly bases, but this one reminds me of a China Glaze Kaleidoscope.



Zeus. I love this so much. It's a black holo. If you missed out on the original version of OPI My Private Jet, this is practically the same thing, only a little bit better. More opaque, more holo, a little darker. Not too dull or too scattered looking like Color Club Revvvolution or Bloom Mena. Pretty much perfect. Nice and dark with a really strong rainbow shine.


The formula on these was good. It's very different from most holographic formulas I've tried. It's not runny, it doesn't clump or make bald spots, it doesn't look dull. It feels like normal nail polish. It applies effortlessly. It doesn't dry as quickly as normal holographic formula, but it doesn't take any longer than your average non-holo polish. They dry shiny and they wear well without chipping right away. The brushes in these are pretty good, too. They're like a slimmer version of the OPI Pro Wide.

I am really impressed with these. There are quite a few unique colors in the collection and not just your predictable pastel metallic holo shades. The formula was so much better than I'm used to holo formula being. The names and bottles are cool. I really like the bolder, darker colors and I like how every polish has a strong hologram effect. No weak ones here!

I also have to comment on how much I like Speciallità's website. Even though I don't understand any Portuguese, I was still able to navigate the site with ease. They have clear, accurate pictures and a page where you can view all the shades at once. From what I can tell online, it looks like they have a ton of other really cool colors besides the Hits no Olimpo holos. It even looks like they have an entire collection of flaky glitters!

The only downside I can find to this collection is that the polishes are small and expensive for the amount of polish you get. I know that the holographic material is expensive, so I understand why brands would charge more for it. The Speciallità Hits no Olimpo polishes are 6ml (that's about 0.2 fluid ounces) and cost R$8,00 from Speciallità or $10.00 USD from Llarowe. $8,00 Brazilian Real is actually only about $4.60 US, but I don't know if shipping from Brazil would cost more than the savings.

Overall, great polishes. My picks would be Demeter, Zeus, Hermes, Ares, Apolo and Hefesto topcoat. But they're all good, not a bad one in the bunch. Easy to apply, non-patchy formula and bright color with strong linear hologram effect. Only wish the bottles were a little bigger!
