“When I set a glass prism on a windowsill and allow the sun to flood through it, a spectrum of colors dances on the floor. What we call "white" is a rainbow of colored rays packed into a small space. The prism sets them free. Love is the white light of emotion.”

Polish Information: Above, I am showing MDJ Creations Cascading Holo Top Coat over Zoya Charisma (2 thick coats), which I consider to be an orchid shade (since as we all know, Pantone named Orchid as 2014's color of the year!). The main problem with holo top coats is that they will silver out any color you put them over. The way to get around this is to use a very thin coat, so you get the holo without all the silvering. Therefore, the holo top coat needs to have a balanced amount of spectraflair pigment, which is somewhat hard to do (I've had really bad luck with holo top coats in the past). Luckily, MDJ Creations has found this balance, and one thin coat of her Cascading Holo Top Coat over any color gives the desired holo effect without silvering the color out! It applied easily and smoothly- one thin coat is all it needs!

WHAT? Second color?? Yes, I decided to try the Cascading Holo Top Coat over Zoya Bevin (2 coats) just to show what it looks like over a second color. Again, one thin coat of the holo top coat over the color gave it that holo flair without silvering it out!

Final thoughts: This is a beautiful holo top coat and gives just the amount of spectraflair you need to turn any color into a holographic- without making it a shade of silver. Application was smooth and easy, no pro techniques needed!
If you want your own, please
check out MDJ Creations on facebook, or go straight to
her etsy store here! As a note, this polish was purchased by me at a discount for my honest review.
Thank you so much!! I actually have *tinted* holo top coats for cancelling the graying effect of the basic holo top coat- just incase someone wants MEGA holo, they can use tinted w/out worrying about gray:D here's the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/175932173/discounted-plus-free-us-shipping-all-5?
