I'm pretty tired and have to go to work early if I'm going to get my to-do list done, but I just have to post about this polish.
I know I haven't been doing too much of either cosmetics or confections so I thank you all for putting up with me.
Now then, holo polishes..... is there anything more wonderful than a linear prismatic polish? I don't think so. When I saw that Layla was coming out with holo polishes I was excited. When I saw they were $15.50 each, I was less excited. Seriously? They're more expensive than Nfu Oh? But hell with all the polish I do have, what's one more bottle?
Color: I got Ocean Rush which is a great blue color, not too light at all.
Formula: My polish was a bit runny. I had a lot of pooling at my cuticles and the color was crazy sheer. It did dry very quickly so that was good. I needed 3 coats alone or 2 on top of another color. You also have to be quick or there will be a hell of a drag.
Holo: Amazing! Linear holo with a great fire to it. Note though you have to make sure the nail is smooth with no ridges so either buff the nail or wear an under polish to smooth out the surface. If you don't do this, the holo effect is not as stunning.
Wear: Sucks! Super sucks! Maybe it's because I didn't use a base coat or top coat but this polish chipped half-way through the day. Granted most holos have horrible wear but this was worse than usual.
Price: Expensive! If you have a coupon then use it. I got this at $3.50 off and still think I paid too much. Also, with Fabuloustreet fully stocked of holos, you can get more polish at a cheaper price. While I'm glad I bought one, I won't be buying the others. It looks like something that I could make myself with some Spectraflair 35 and dark nail polish.
Index finger is 2 coats over Sinful Colors Ciao Bella!, middle finger is 3 coats alone, ring and pinky is 3 coats alone after a day of wear |
See how much more linear it is with the base polish on the index. |
Not
really a confection...... I did make 6 dozen chocolate cupcakes last
week but with no pictures I guess it didn't happen. But this is a
savory "confection" I suppose...
