Layla Hologram Effect Polishes

Hey everyone! Today is a very special day!! It is my 25th birthday today! So since I'm a huge lover for holo polishes, I decided to do my review on Layla's Hologram polishes! I was super excited to get these because they are true holo polishes. I ordered these from aveyou.com for $15.50 a bottle. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it, in which you will see. There are sometimes coupons for aveyou.com as well so you should google some coupons before buying. I took these under fluorescent light and under direct sunlight.

Mercury Twilight is a silver holo.3 coats. SOOO beautiful!! 

Coral Glam is a peachy coral holo. 3 coats. Seriously... look at that holo...

Retro Pink is a light pink holo. 3 coats.

Ultra Violet is a purple holo. 3 coats. Probably my favorite of the bunch! 

Jade Grove is a light green holo. 3 coats. A little similar to Nfu-Oh's 66.

Mermaid Spell is a light blue holo. 3 coats.

Ocean Rush is an ocean blue holo. 3 coats.

Flash Black is a black holo. 3 coats. OK I know I said Ultra Violet was my favorite, but actually this one is my favorite. It's a black holo but the holo effect is insane on this one.

The formula for these were pretty good. I did test out different base coats for them and noticed there's a slight difference during application. When put over Nfu-Oh's aqua base coat, they applied very well without any 'balding', whereas when I used my regular OPI base coat, there were some balding even when the base coat was completely dry. So for easier application, it's best to use a water base base coat.

I didn't care how much these costs me, because they were so well worth the money. It is RARE for us to see TRUE holos nowadays, that's why I am super happy to own these!

What do you guys think of these?!

Layla Magneffects Polish in Metallic Sky

Hi! How's it going today? I had a nice nap, and brownies just came out of the oven...life is good! :)

Today's polish is a first for my blog. A magnetic polish! I got this from Aveyou.com. It's retail price is $15/bottle and I could never justify that much for one bottle, but I got this with the deal 8moms.com had a while ago so that was justified! 

Magnetic polishes are supposedly the "next big thing". I have even heard it called the next crackle. I have seens ads in various magazines for them, and last month Vogue had an article dedicated to magnetic polish. Could this mean more affordable versions in the future?

This shade is called Metallic Sky. Pretty right? I was mesmerized by this the 2 days I had it on. The magnetic effect is stunning!

Just for reference, here is the magnet on top of the lid. The direction the line on the magnet is facing is the way the lines will go on the nail. I got polish on mine and I have read not to use remover on the magnet because it could ruin it.

I hope to have more colors of magnetic polish in the future. Crackle wasn't a trend I was into, but magnetic polish I can handle! How about you? Have you tried magnetic polish yet?
