Looks much better in mockup/ photos of product

I hadn't used stickermule in a long time because I found the quality to be very inferior to other companies. All the stickers I've ordered have almost a milky overlay, like you're looking through a thing film of talcum powder. I decided to try out their holographic stickers due to the deep promotional discount. It was a waste of $20 the holographic effect is very poor in real life and the image washes out and becomes very hard to read. I was really excited for them because of the mockup, and if I take a photo of it, it looks amazing which is funny and frustrating because it shows how good it could have been. I'm guessing the camera distortion / optics essentially "fix" the holographic effect.
