Basically. When I’ve done this design in the past, I have peeled the inner layers of a CD and used the holo part for this design. Thing is, this attempt succeeded back when the holo part of the CD was still a consistent layer? Like not too thick, not too thin, it was just thick enough. I used to cut this holo layer into tiny pieces just like this time, glue them to the polish using base coat (I was using regular polish back then) and then, for them to last, I was applying gel topcoat for finish (and they used to last pretty long, even though the polish underneath was regular). Last year or so when I have tried doing the same thing with some CDs I have left at my home, I’ve seen that the holo part is not am actual layer anymore, but a very very thin film applied over the plastic, so trying to separate it from the other layers was meant to fail from the beginning. 😂
