The Most Holo-ed Holo of All the Holos.

Omggg I almost peed my pants when I got my hands on these. Never mind that I spent $40 on only TWO nail polishes. On Monday I was shopping in Chadstone Shopping Centre (fashion capital of Melbourne) and since I live literally on the other side of Melbourne, I rarely go there. For those of you who don't know, Chadstone is very special place. It has Myers, David Jones, Chanel, Burberry, Tiff and Co. and Louis Vutton etc. Omg the fun I had! I am definitely going back next week after I get paid. Well, there in Hairhouse Warehouse was the Layla Hologram Effect nail polish! OMG so excited, I was! I got both Ocean Rush (which is what I am wearing today) and Flash Black (which is what I will be showing you). I should add some context in that about 90% of my nail polish is bought online. I can only really find OPI and China Glaze in stores, and to find a holographic nail polish just lazily sitting there in a normal shop is beyond exciting for me!

So without further ado, or do you want some more ado? I have plenty to talk about. No, let's just polish.
So this is 3 (I think) coats Flash Black and a coat of Seche Vite, which is my opinion doesn't dull the effect much. There is a little bit of dulling but it not like NFU Oh holos where you add the topcoat to the liner holo and it turn into a scatter holo. Now that's dulling! Now the catch about these photo are...


... They are taken inside, at about 4pm, IN OVERCAST!!! And they are still holo goodness! OMG How exciting is that!!! If you want to see how holo this actually get, check out Cathy's swatches at More Nail Polish (which is sure you already have 'cause she's awesome!) Also another tip I've learnt with holo's like this and the Nfu Ohs, because I don't have an Aqua Base or special Layla buffer, all you need to do it buff you nails really well making you nails shiny and smooth. That's when they apply the most vibrant (I think the Layla buff is just a stand buff with a fancy name).

    1. Are you from Melbourne? Oz Nails, the wholesale store in Braybrook, opened up a box Mirror Effect by Layla I think they might've had the Hologram Effect too in there!
