Miscellaneous Holographic Chirality (Absolute Zero, Convergence, Cu2+, Echelon, The Symbiote) Review & Comparison

So I've had Chirality polishes for a while now, but until someone suggested it, I didn't even think to review them. I thought I'd choose from my favorite holographic colors and review those for everyone. Also, to save some time in typing, I'll mention now than none of these swatches have a base or top coat with them.
You can buy these here for $8 (15 mL) and $4 (5mL). 


First in line: Absolute Zero. A pretty aqua with a strong scattered holo. 
Opacity: 2.5
Application: 4.5
I had some trouble with the first coat because the brush was thin/narrow.
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 2


I bought one of Chirality's newest releases, Echelon (reviewed below), and realized it looked very similar to Absolute Zero. The following two picture are a comparsion of the two side by side. A.Z. is on my index and ring finger, Echelon is on my middle and pinky. Although the pictures show hardly any difference, it is slightly more noticeable in person. A.Z. is more holo, while Echelon has a more satiny finish with more blue tint.

Next is Echelon. A very pretty pastel turquoise, this color is one of my absolute favorite polishes. (To be honest, all of the Chirality holos I own are on my top favorites list.)
Opacity: 3
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 2

As recommended by my friend Stephanie, I bought Cu2+. It did not disappoint. This one is a bondi blue, very saturated in color.
Opacity: 4
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
# of coats: 2

I orginally bought a mini size of this color, but I loved it so much I had to buy a full size. Convergence is a pretty almost byzantium (I'm getting all fancy with my color descriptions now apparently) purple. The shade is rich and full, leaning ever so slightly more red than blue.
Opacity: 3
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
#of coats: 2

Last is The Symbiote. A soft holo black, this polish shows off the full spectrum of holographic effect.
Opacity: 3
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5

I HIGHLY recommend Chirality to anyone who loves holographic polishes. These polishes are the perfect blend. While Aly's Dream Polish will always be number one on my heart, as they were my first love, Chirality definitely comes in a close second.
Have you tried any of Chirality's new holos or glitters yet? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for reading, lovely ladies (and some gents!).
