In Layla's promotional video they used a buffer to buff the nails before applying. I would assume so that the polish would grip tightly to the nail. I honestly can't say if it would be beneficial or not. I didn't' use a basecoat or a buffer, but I've heard that other holo bases have worked successfully. The polish was slightly lumpy out of the bottle, but it applied smoothly in 3 thin coats.
Guess what? As part of my Anniversary I'm giving away Mercury Twilight with some other great Layla polishes! How cool is that? Enter my Nail Art Contest for a chance to win this awesome Layla!
The Layla Holograms can be purchased at Aveyou.com or Laylacosmetics.it. Aveyou only has 3 colors currently but they plan to get the rest sometime in March. They currently have Ultra Violet (light purple) and Retro Pink (light pink). The holographic lover in me couldn't let these pass. I'm really looking forward to the charcoal black as well. If you can't wait, you can purchase them now at Laylacosmetics.it but shipping is a beast to the US, approximately 30 euros or 15 euros with a purchase over 80 euros I believe. The Layla Holograms retail for $15.50 per bottle.
Wow. This is a truly fantastic polish. Good thing you didn't let this one slip through your fingers. It looks like a great shade to wear in the summer!!
ReplyDelete@Rebecca. I didn't want to take a chance and miss out on them since I'm not sure if they're permanent or not.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Huh how I miss more holographic nail polishes like this! <3

ReplyDeleteHoly wow! I can't wait for these to get to Ulta! Price is a bit much, but that's ok!
ReplyDeleteYeah they are a little pricey but pretty normal for a Holo.
DeleteThat's an awesome holo - siiighhh, so nice :)
ReplyDeleteWOW it is beautiful! I also missed out on OMG and trying to get a hold of gosh's holograms in the US is not an easy task but was able to find a close one OPI DS sapphire. But I will be checking this out out for sure don't want to miss out again on an amazing polish before summer is here! :D
ReplyDeleteI got GOSH on a whim through a swap. I'm excited to have new, easy to find, options available.
DeleteOMG! This is amazing holo!
ReplyDeleteLike ur new layout btw :)
Thanks Anastacia :D
DeleteGorgeous! I am going to try to wait for all the colors to come into AveYou before I buy. Not sure that will happen though. :)
ReplyDeleteI was too impatient. I'm gonna order the black when it comes in. Hopefully we won't miss out.
DeleteNot sure i would be confident enough to wear this unless i layered over it with a pattern or used it as the colour for a pattern/design
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. One of my classmates made fun of a holographic nail foil that I wore.
Deleteone of the best holo n.p! love it!!
