layla ultra violet

pretty sure the trick to these holo's are to have a really smooth basecoat.  i tried doing these with my usual 'get it on' cult nails base and it smudged bad.  i threw on gelous over that and tried again and it seemed to go on perfect.  will need to try that first the next time i grab one of these.

the holo on the ones that i've worn from this set are insane.

4 days of wear and my ring finger is starting to flake off near my cuticle.  other than that, no real issues with wear on these for me.

layla - hologram effect collection

today i just have pictures of the layla 'hologram effect' collection.  i wore jade groove before i cut my nails down.  it's a gorgeous holo, lots of flash in sunlight.  unfortunately it'll be a while before i take any new pics of manicures...my nails are completely gone.  they've been growing fast and have been longer than i've ever had them before, it still sucks having to cut them all off because you feel like your typing is uneven with one short one >.<

i apparently missed taking a picture of ocean rush, i'll get that up when i wear it.  can you tell i'm new to trying to organize stuff for a blog?  also flash black wouldn't focus with my camera.  at least you can see some of the colors in it with it slightly blurred.

anyhow, here's jade grove:

and the rest of the collection:
