Where this effect works well

Practical settings

Use a rounded display font

Soft, inflated letterforms make the liquid-metal surface feel more fluid.

Let the rainbow move across the word

Adjust the reflection position until different colors cross the face instead of sitting only on the edge.

Add tracking for short titles

A little extra letter spacing keeps wide bevels from visually merging.
