Holographic Glitter Topcoats… the Showdown!

I like shiny things, especially if they sparkle like a rainbow under the sun. So it’s no surprise that I have a huge love for holographic glitter topcoats! I bust these out when I’m feeling like my polish is a little too plain. Sometimes, if I don’t have time for a full mani, I just layer one of these over whatever I’m already wearing and get a few more days out of it before I need to change my polish. I love that they are so versatile. You can layer them over any colour and let the base poke through, wear it as an accent layer, or with some of them you can layer them to rainbow-blinding opacity all on their own!

I rounded up five from my collection (there are a few more) and decided to put them to the test. These are only the pure-holo-glitter polishes. I do have lots of others with other types of glitter mixed in!

Barry M – Greenberry

Here’s another one I picked up in England. Barry M is also available at Boots. I’m not sure where you can purchase this in Canada, but online is my best guess. 

Greenberry is one of their ‘Gelly’ polishes. To be honest, I was hoping for more of a jelly finish, which I didn’t get here. It’s a super pretty colour, and applied easily. The formula was a bit thick, but I did 3 carefully thin coats which caused no problem. Sadly, it was overcast yesterday when I took these pictures. 
And with two coats of Barry M Diamond Glitter… a holo-hex-glitter topcoat! Love it! 

Do you have any Barry M?
