Holographic Trends is an arts-and-crafts game in the dress-up category of games. A young woman, Princess, uses her social media account to find fun new hair, clothing and other trends. After discovering some great ideas, she asks the player to help her recreate them. The game breaks up the request into five sections of circular paint areas in the metal case of a paint palette.
The player's first challenge is to attempt to make Princess' hair look exactly like an online picture. They must pick the correct hair length, hairstyle and shades of neon spray-on hair dye. The game presents the hair dyes in cans that spray solid colors or stripes of different colors.
After they complete this task, the player decorates a jean jacket, jeans and a t-shirt. With each piece of clothing, they select a style, add a black line drawing from a selection of options, and then paint it with tubes of fabric paint. Princess then prompts the player to apply nail polish and graphics to her nails. Lastly, they must pick out some stylish rings for her hands.
It's important to note that Holographic Trends requires the player to watch advertisements to access every aspect of gameplay. It also doesn't allow the use of an ad-blocking extension.
