Swatch: LAYLA Ceramic Effect No.24


This Ceramic Effect polishes are not available in shops near my home.
I was able to buy them because they were free samples with a magazine.
The magazine was just €1.70 and since this polishes are usually €7.60 it was an amazing deal.
There were three colors available and I'm going to show you all of them.

This is no.24 called Verde Acquarello / Green Watercolor.
This is a light aqua color with gold shimmer.
I have to say that this is my least favorite color out of the three.
I really liked it in the bottle but on the nails it looked boring, probably it doesn't go well with my skintone.
It's also very sheer and it needs at least three coat. (In the pictures I made two and there is VNL).

This color is called Fango /Mud.
The name is very appropriate because in the bottle it really looks like mud.
On the nails you can see a subtle pink / magenta shimmer that makes this color really pretty. (You can see the shimmer well in the picture above that make it looks purple in the bottle).
I like this color and since I don't have anything similar I'm very happy about it.

The first color I'm going to show you is no.06 called Rosso Puro / Pure Red.
It's a beautiful deep red creme and is super shiny. It's not very opaque, the pictures are two coats but three would be better.
I really love it (I'm wearing it as a full mani!) and is probably my favorite out of the three shades.

Swatch: LAYLA No. 101

(above camera flash - below natural light)

I usually don't like yellow polishes and I'm not even attracted to them but when I saw this I bought it without thinking twice.
Maybe it's fault of all of those pastel polish floating around lately but I'm really in love with this color. It's a little sheer but with three coats it gets opaque enough for me. The formula is like all the other LAYLA polishes: very liquid, it always gets on my cuticles but it's something I can overlook.

I really liked this color on the bottle but when I applied it I was a little disapponted.
I tought it was a creme but in reality it have a slight shimmer and it was extremely sheer, I lost count of the coats I made but they where at least 4.
Another thing I don't understand about this polish is the red "things" (see my ring finger and pinky) that are floating around. They are not enough to be part of the polish but I really don't understand where they came from.
Overall this polish was a let down but I really like the color so I will still wear it.

Swatch: LAYLA No. 152

Another LAYLA polish that I really like. It's a light grey creme. It's very liquid so I find it a bit hard to apply and the brush is a little too thin, but I really like this color so I still wear it.

This is the first coral polish I bought and I'm in love with it. Me and my mother wore it for all summer. It's really similar to RIMMEL Coralicious, it's just a bit more orange.
