Ellagee ~ Rainbow Syrup

Ellagee ~ Rainbow Syrup

holographic topcoat

I’ve been testing out a few holo topcoats, but I haven’t really found ‘my’ one yet. So I thought I would try out Ellagee’s Rainbow Syrup.

I tried it out on two different polishes. The first one is a lilac packed with silver shimmer from Coolcos. It hasn’t got a name but it’s number 03. I applied a coat of Rainbow Syrup, which applied easily and dried fast.

Here’s the effect I got out of it:

Pretty rainbows, yes?

Just allow me to enjoy the holoness for a sec, will ya? ;)

Here’s the polish I applied it over:

This may not be the best polish to show the effect over, so I tested it with another one as well. This time I chose another Coolcos, a lovely green with teal shimmer, number 10.

Here’s one coat of Rainbow Syrup over the green:

This one shows off the effect much better. The silvery shimmer in the lilac kind of drowned some of the rainbow effect.

*swoon*

Here’s what number 10 looks like on its own:

Verdict:

One of the reasons I wanted to try out another holo topper is because the ones I’ve already tried greyed the colour underneath a lot. I’ve learned that the stronger the holo effect, the more greying out of the base colour. I have to say that Rainbow Syrup is the best holo topper I’ve tried so far. The greying of the base colour is minimal and the effect is still good. I love the formula and the drying time too, so I can’t really see anything but wins, wins and more wins here!

Number of coats: One. Two for stronger holo effect
Drying time: Fast

Finish: Holographic goodness in a bottle

Overall impression: Great holo topper! Great quality, great everything!

Buy again: Yes, definitely!
