Layla Purple Illusion x

Hey guys.

I've been wearing Layla Purple Illusion since Saturday night after applying it over NFU Oh aqua base. 

I've tried Layla holographic polishes in the past and was very disappointed in the wear time. With the aqua base I have one chipping, yay!

I am wearing one coat of base, which took a while to dry, two coats of polish and one coat of Nails Inc Kensington Caviar top coat.

I love holos and am delighted I got the aqua base which gives it a longer wear time.

Do you guys have any other tips for making holos longer lasting?

Love Lou x

Layla Flash Black

Hey guys
This is a beauty I tried to blog about a few days ago but my phone decided not to play ball!
Although this is a gorgeous polish it didn't last long without chipping!
Do any of you guys know how I can make my holo pretties last longer?

Layla Cloudy Violet Hologram Polish

Hey Guys

This is a gorgeous purple holographic which my boyfriend described as looking like I had "dipped my fingers in a rainbow" which goes some way to describe how colourful this beauty is!  Unfortunately it's a pain in the posterior to capture that effect on camera, at least for me! 

If you fancy treating yourself to this little beauty or any of her pretty sisters then head on over to Simply Occasions where the lovely Bryony will be happy to assist you I'm sure :D

p.s. Any tips on how to catch this effect would be gratefully received as would any other hints and tips you guys may have on how I can improve my blog/picture taking techniques! x

Layla Mirror Effect Nail Polish (",)

It feels like I've been waiting for these li'l beauties to arrive FOREVER (although it wasn't really).  I couldn't wait to get home from work to apply them!

After a bit of debating about which colour to wear first and a bit of a false start (they curdled on my Nails Inc Soho Silk base coat so I had to remove it) I decided to use both and painted straight on to my bare nails. After only one coat they looked fab, although I used three coats of each plus Nails Inc Kensington Caviar top coat to get this stunning effect!  The polishes didn't need the top coat to add shine as they were definitely shiny enough without but I added the top coat to prolong the staying power of these gorgeous colours!

The colours I used were Metal Chrome and Purple Diva and I love them both sooooo much!!!

If you fancy treating yourself to either of these beauties or their different coloured counterparts you can find them on the Simply Occasions site here. The lovely Bryony of Simply Occasions also has her own blog which you can find here (",)





Edit: I wore the Metal Chrome for a full mani yesterday (21 June 2012) and here are the pics! I firstly tried applying over Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Base Coat but again the polish curdled even when I applied a second coat of colour so I removed it all and started from clear nails.  These pics were taken with two coats of colour and a top coat which I only added to prevent chipping and not because any extra shine was needed!

Has anyone else tried the Layla Mirror Effects yet? Which is your favourite?
