YET STILL MORE MERMAIDS: Layla Softouch 10

This is a mermaid color in spirit if not in name. The internet gods tell me #10 is "Turquoise Splash."

  

I really like the finish on this line. It is rare, if not unique, but wear time is not very good.

  

Immediately after these pictures, I snapped off my left index nail below the quick. Angst happened.

  

If I'd been wearing base coat under it and a nice thick sludge of Seche Vite over it, I'd probably still have that nail. JUST SAYING.

HOLO WHAT: Layla Flash Black

I decided to continue with the skull theme (Konad m28) for budget meetings this year, lovingly displayed on a holo accent nail (Layla Flash Black) in a sea of black claws (China Glaze Liquid Leather) just waiting to rip someone's eyes out. I mean happy to change any numbers you want. Coworkers' response was, overwhelmingly, "cuuuuuuute!!!"   (sigh)

  

The sun was not as cooperative as it was for Ultra Violet, but this does hint at Flash Black's gorgeous potential to destroy the world. I mean to make up some reasonable end of year estimates.



The little aurora rhinestone didn't sparkle as much as I'd hoped but it may be due to the thick coating of hot buttered rage. I mean excitement at putting the bond limit to public vote.

  

I like to paint my nails particularly shiny for situations where I need autohypnosis not to inflict blunt force trauma on anyone. THESE ARE GOOD JOBS RIGHT right.

HOLO LOVE: Layla Ultra Violet

LOOK AT THIS. I WANT TO PUT ALL MY FINGERS IN MY MOUTH AT ONCE. IT WILL TASTE LIKE UNICORNS AND LIGHTNING AND FIRE AND SUGAR AND RAINBOWS AND STAR SPRINKLES.

  

The only other holo-ish polish I have is OPI DS Design, which never looked all that good on the nail. These pictures show nails with neither base nor top coat, although I added Seche Vite later. It in no way impaired the OMGSHINY. I did use the recommended nail buffing device prior to application, but my nails are generally pretty smooth so I don't think it made any difference.



This would be my favorite polish in the universe ever except that three nails on my right hand were badly chipped within 24 hours. Aaaand I just chipped one on my left. So I think this might make a stunning accent nail but maybe not the best for a full hand. I really need to suck it up and order the Nfu Oh aqua base as that probably would help quite a bit.

  

It is also a nice color in the shade.
