Layla Misty Blush



Holographic polishes are another favorite of my hubby (lucky me). Lately I did not wear holo polishes so often since the weather was dull, grey and cold and my holo babies don't appreciate this weather AT ALL.

I just have a few of the Layla holographic polishes - my wishlist is still very long ;-). They come pricey and I order one only every so often as a special treat. Misty Blush was a must have for me since its base color is so intriguing and does not appear totally flat when in the shade.

In artificial light:


Indoors in daylight = shade

Outdoors in the sun:

And the holo looked in IRL sun like on my index - ALL.THE.TIME!!!!



I applied two coats of Misty Blush over Fnug Aqua Base Coat. This Base Coat is so wonderful, that the application of Misty Blush was just the easiest you can possibly imagine - it applied like a normal cream (and a good one at that).

Have you gotten any Layla's in your stash?

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

  3. So pretty! Look at that rainbow effect! Your hubby sure knows something about nail polish! So, I don't own any LAyla but it looks like I should, eh?
    As you know tomorrow starts the Lent period (and Carnival in Biel!) so as a Lent resolution I'm giving up shopping for 40 days (at least) so this gorgeousness (or any other) will NOT be in my shelves soon.

    1. Thank you dear Nati!!! Layla really got some awesome polishes - I definitely think you should. Those seem to be in a permanent line, so these babies will be around after Lent as well ;-)!!! I am impressed that you stick with Lent!! I grew up with it and my Mum was adamant about it, I can tell you ;-)!!! I think especially these days it is more than healthy to exercise in restricting consuming and buying as everything is so readily available here that one does not really give it a thought to pick the one or the other. Last year I read an interview with Vivienne Westwood and she was on a roll about the attitude of picking and buying clothes left and right. So I embarked on a personal Lent trying to not buy any clothes, shoes or handbags for as long as possible. That was mid-April 2012 - I had to give in this past weekend because my one pair of real winter boots caved and gave up - I had to have a new pair - but I hope this does not count as real splurge, since I replaced an item that went down the drain without having a replacement - right? Have a lovely evening - mutely

    1. Thank you Yun :-) - for once it is so nice to have a holo that has such a particular base color. More often than not I find them on the flat side when seen in the shade - or as here in Switzerland as of late - in murky winter weather ;-)

  5. OH MY GOSH!!!! I waited and waited and waited for the new Layla holos to show up around my neck o' the woods and they never did. Now the first set is out on clearance. This is SO FREAKING PRETTY and such a gorgeous, flattering shade on you, too!! My eyes remain peeled, lol.
