Unfortunately, the topcoat I have is impossible to find now, but I hunted down a couple of other options that look identical, so you are not out of luck. From the Born Pretty store, there is Hologram Effect #1 for $5.59 and free shipping. There's also Super Black's Wishful Thinking holographic topcoat for $12 and $3 shipping. It's obviously much more expensive, but it's indie and made by the wonderful comic artist Natalie Dee, so maybe that means something to you.
If you need more convincing that one bottle of holo topcoat could quell your burning desire to buy every holographic nail polish out there, here's a comparison. Can you tell which is the holographic polish and which are regular polishes with holographic topcoat?
The middle swatch is two coats of Color Club Cherubic. One the left is two coats of holo topcoat over e.l.f. Desert Haze and on the right is two coats of holo topcoat over e.l.f. Copper. Absolutely just as pretty and flashy, in my opinion.
The Super Black one is about 3x the size of the Born Pretty - but the texture of the BP looks like it might have smaller holo particles giving it a smoother look ? Both are pretty tho. I still want ALL THE HOLOS !! Gah, it's tough out there for a hoarder....loll
ReplyDeleteOh, good point, thanks! The size of the bottles makes a big difference when considering the value, especially if it's something you want to use over and over again.
DeleteBut what is the top coat that you have?
ReplyDeleteMine is Speciallita Hits Hefesto.
DeleteYou can still get that topcoat you just have to try another site besides llarowe. I know a few other sites that sell hits
