Layla - Ocean Rush

Hey guys, This post is a little late today, Sorry about that as you know I've been VERY busy.

So I have Layla - Ocean Rush for you today which is my first Holographic nail polish that I've ever tried. I have to say, it's really not what I expected.


This is three coats, with a base coat because I wasn't sure about staining and a top coat of Seche Vite. The coats were very streaky and I tested these on my toes, without top coat to see how long they'd last, it took a day until it pretty much chipped on every toe. The holo made my camera go crazy of course and I noticed when I dented my ring finger it was very noticeable  The formula also thickened the more I used it which wasn't very fun! I'll give Holo a try again, but not in the near future.

Also, I wanted to see what this would look like with my Shimmer Polish (Which I picked up a few more of, WooHoo!) and I'm not sure how I feel about the nail art.


This is Elsa which I've used before. I used tape but I don't know, I guess it's just the color combination that I don't like. 

You can find Shimmer Polish here.

What do you think?

Pure Ice - Private Show

Hello everyone! 
I recently went to walmart and of course everytime I go anywhere and I know they sell Nail Polish, I HAVE TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE! So naturally I went to check it out and I was surprised to see a beautiful display (in the middle of the aisle none the less) of Pure Ice! I looked around and saw many colors that looked dupish to the ones I already have until I saw this beauty, Private Show :


Private Show is a black base with blue, purple, red and silver micro glitters. Application was three coats and it made my camera freak out a bit because of the glam factor of the glitters. I love how smooth application is with pure ice, but of course removal was as expected with so much glitter : terrible. I think it's 10 times as worse to remove glitter from acrylics because the glitter seems to stick more to the acrylic, no matter how much I file.

I wanted to see how Shimmer Nail Polish - Elsa looked as a simple tape mani over this as this was the result :


It's a very subtle look unless it's in a certain shadow and it kind of reminded me of a super glittery tuxedo minus the buttons and bow tie. 

Here is a bit of a blurrier picture to show all of the glitzy glitter bomb :



Elsa is the first Shimmer Nail Polish that I bought and I have to say, I love it! There are so many amazing colors to choose from and I definitely need to think of some nail art to play around with this one.
You can find Shimmer Polish here on Etsy.
