I saw Orly Prisma Gloss Gold in Tran Design store and had to have it.
When I held it for the first time, I said to myself – where is all the shimmer?!? This is how it looked like:
After serious use of muscles for moving metal balls all over the bottle, it turned into this:
After I applied it over Essence Cherry Juice, I thought it to be a bit too much for my taste.
Since holo effect looks best in sunshine I took most of the photos in our backyard.
Base coat + 2 layers of Essence Cherry Juice and 1 coat of Orly Prisma Gloss Gold:
So I applied one more coat of Essence Cherry Juice, to soften the holo effect.

Since Cherry Juice was not sheer enough for the effect I was looking for – I tried with Essence Cotton Candy polish, that Maestra was kind enough to let me borrow for I while.
First I applied two coats of China Glaze Ridge Filler (staining makes it necessity to use something with camouflaging effect 
) and then three coats of Essence Cotton Candy polish.
This is how it looks with Orly Prisma Gloss Gold on top of it:

I added another layer of Essence Cotton Candy polish and took more photos.

Orly Prisma Gloss is also available in silver version. I paid 3,19 USD (2,4 EUR) for my polish.
I would need sheer jelly polish in vibrant color for the effect I was looking for. I would prefer red or purple. Do you have any suggestions?
So – how do you like my sandwiches? 
I’ve been trying to figure out what the finished result reminds me of, and then it dawned on me- OPAL!
It looks just like an opal, with fire shining from within, minus the “in-your-face-glitter.”
I have to wait until Monday to re-do my mani, but my mind is reeling with sheer colors I never wear, but would be perfect for this look!
Would you mind if I did a blog post on this, giving you the credit for the idea, of course?
Either way, thanks for your inspiration!
You’re welcome. I can hardly wait for you’re post. I just love experiments.
You’re right – I wanted to avoid “in-your-face-glitter” effect, and achive somethig more subtile but still with a punch.
Thx. Let me know how it turned out.
I wanted to try this combination with Essie Licorice, so if anyone has the two polishes I would love to see the result.
I am a fan of holo topcoats in general, but the subtle shimmer you’ve created by layering it under another coat is so beautiful!
I will be trying this out with my next manicure for sure…Thanks for the great idea!

I prefer gold because silver clashes with my skin tone. Otherwise I wold be having silver one on my WL too.
I just like Prisma as topcoat or non. I have silver one on WL (how is it called… Orly Prisma Gloss Silver or I like Nubar Angel in silver (can’t find right name now)).
To jaz vedno govorim za računalnike … pa me še vedno ne poslušajo.
Hvala za predlog, vendar je meni je še holo too much. :lol: Me veseli, da si našla kombinacijo zase.
Evo.. v operi mini deluje… sicer pa na moji telefonski uber cool masineriji bi moglo vse delat :sideways: .
Sem kupila niti ne toliko podoben lak in stestirala s cherry juice in je uaaaau prislo ven! Cisto totally awesome! poskusi s cim bolj pikcastim? Mislim bolj shimrastim..
Tamara – smo stestirali na dostih mobitelih, pa je vsepovsod pravilno prikazalo. Nekako je bil dosežen konsenz, da se določene strani in mobiteli enostavno ne ujemajo.
Micena – jaz sem nanesla 1 debelejšo plast. Če dam 2 plasti, je pa kar konkreten nanos šimra.
Nati – pri meni je kar rozikast.
Bom probala nanesti Goldija še čez Very Berry in Essie Allure.
