Here is the second part of the Tronica Collection review, the 6 cool toned shades, in case you missed the warm ones, you can still check them out here.
Again, the formula was just outstanding and the colors saturated.
In terms of finish, the Tronica are really smooth, in spite of being scattered holos, you won't see tiny chunks like the Milani 3D Holographic Collection for example.
I like to call them my "work-safe" holos : a compromise between linear holos and cremes or shimmers, mysterious and gleaming shades.

So, you probably understood by now that I really love the Tronica Collection, the shades are intense, subtle, sophisticated and yet not overelaborated.
The lighter shades Hologram and Cyberspace are the ones who have the strongest holographic effect, maybe even a slight linear one. Unfortunately I haven't been able to catch a single ray of sunlight while swatching them but it might not be such a bad thing, you can see what they really look like most of the time this way.
I did paint them all on wheel though and I will definitely post more pictures as soon as the sun shows up again.
And for those who are wondering how they compare to the OMGs and Kaleidoscopes, I really wanted to give them a fair review first but comparisons are on their way!
In conclusion, I'll just say that I'm happy I'm not a stubborn person by nature and that I gave the Tronica Collection a chance because as much as I loooove a strong linear holo, sometimes I can also be in the mood for a nice subdued scattered one too.
What about you? What's your opinion on them?
