A pretty pink holo for Pink Wednesday. I'll admit.. I'm not too keen on holos like everyone else, but I heard these new Hologram Effect polishes by Layla were amazing, so I had to have just one, so of course I chose the pink one..
Layla Retro Pink:
Ok, so this one has an awesome linear holo effect. The sun wasn't supposed to shine today, but as soon as it popped out I grabbed my bottle of Retro Pink and applied this super girly mani. I really need an aqua basecoat because I had to apply four coats of Retro Pink to reach full opacity and the pretty holo shine.. (I used Posche).
**These polishes are expensive. I bought mine on amazon because I had leftover credit on a gift card. I think this bottle was $15. I'm pretty sure you can find them at Ulta also.**
sooooo prettty.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you I really like the look of holos, but haven't been completely gushing over them! These look stunning though! I think the stronger the linear holo the more I like it.
Gorgeous! I have 4 of these now but not this one but it's stunning!
ReplyDeleteI also love the look of holos but I have yet to actually come across one so sadly I own none. This one is a stunner for sure!
ReplyDeleteHi ..this is gorgeous ... :) I need to get it..wonder if my Ulta carries these..I know they had the Layla Magnetic polishes but not yet these as of last time I was in.. :( maybe they have them now.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a Aqua basecoat..?What does it do for these? And where do you find them at? :)
Thanks
Here is a post by Jeanie at Midnight Manicures that may answer your question about aqua basecoats.. I thick there is a cheaper brand you can buy at the Dollar Store, but not sure how well it works..

I used Seche Vite as a base coat and only had to use 2 coats for opacity on Ocean Rush (darker blue). I also heard that they work well over other polishes as underwear. This is beautiful on you :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty. I don't know when I'm going to be able to lay my hands on a holo :(
ReplyDeleteI really like this one, my second favourite after Flash Black! I went away with 3 coats though, and no aqua base either. I was just super careful in each coat not to polish over a part of the nail I had already painted or it would drag everything away!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with holo!!
