Douglas ~ Lara 11


Douglas ~ Lara 11
Blackened blue with shimmer

I bought today’s polish a lot of years ago, when I still wore really dark colours. It has been sitting in the infamous box ever since, along with a similar sister, which I’m going to show you tomorrow.

Lara 11 has a really good formula and is really easy to work with. You could easily get away with one single coat and the drying time is really good. I used two coats because I prefer it like that, but it didn’t make any difference to the appearance on the nails.

I wore it as a dry brush manicure. I used Color Club’s “Angel Kiss” and #250 from Trend It Up.

I all ended up looking really pretty. Here it is, including topcoat. The photo is taken in daylight.

This is the same thing taken with flash to show of the pretty holo in “Angel Kiss”.

And here’s Lara 11 alone. It’s two coats and a thin layer of topcoat. The photo is taken in daylight.

Lara 11 is too dark for me to wear on its own, but I can easily see myself wear it as a base for nail art like I did today.


Number of coats: I used 2, but you it is a one coater
Drying time: Good
Finish: Very dark with subtle shimmer
Overall impression: Really good quality, easy to work with
Buy again: Probably not, it’s too dark for me, but that’s not the polish’s fault
