Layla ~ Ceramic Effect 28

Layla ~ Ceramic Effect 28

Turquoise shimmer

I got Layla when I was in Italy earlier this year. It’s a lovely turquoise – easy to apply and to work with. I used two coats for my mani and the drying time between coats was pretty good.

I applied a layer of holo topcoat to add a bit of rainbows. I used an oldie for that, Treasure by Tan’s “Oasis”. I haven’t used that much since I bought it, mainly because I wasn’t happy with the other Treasures by Tan polishes I bought at the same time. They’re all sold now, but there’s nothing wrong with the holo topper, which is why I kept it.

I made the whole thing into a star manicure. I used cheap vinyls for the purpose, and I sponged the silver holo on. I used Colors by Llarowe’s stamping polish “Sparkling Diamonds” to sponge with.

This is the final manicure, including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken with flash.

The stars on the ring finger is actually vinyls from the sheet I used. I really like the effect of them.

This is Layla #28, two layers, with a layer of Treasures by Tan’s “Oasis” holo topcoat on top. The photo is taken in the sun.

And here’s the Layla on its own. Two coats and no topcoat. It’s a lovely polish on its own as well.

This is all the stuff I used. The vinyls are big and my nails are small, so each vinyl covered two nails, which means I used 6 vinyls for 10 nails in total.

I love having stars and holo on my nails!
