Allo polish Pals!
Are we all good? I really hope you all
had the most amazing Christmas! I can honestly say I had a fantastic
day with my family. It has been lovely to be home this year; I got to
play a lot with my 3 year old Niece who I always miss terribly when I
am in Holland. I also got to eat my Mum's (I call her Skeebab)
Christmas Turkey, probably drank a little too much
wine and generally had a great day. Mr Bravo enjoyed his first
English Christmas too! :) Today we have more family over for lunch
Today as its Boxing Day but I thought I'd take a little time before
they arrive to show you my all time favourite Silver polish from
Layla which I should have showed you forever ago! Please click the read more button for the full review.

Colour
~ 01 from Layla is a
gorgeous soft and subtle shimmery silver. I would say its a mid
silver and beautifully light. I have used it so many times, here and
here are some examples of how it pairs with other colours. I would
say it comes alive when you apply a top coat. I love how it looks
before the top coat which is still beautiful.
Application
~ Easy Peasy, the
brush it great and the dry time is just fabulous. There are no
streaking issues.
Texture ~ When applying the
texture is quite watery and dries into a really soft looking matte
silver. There's something about the texture that reminds me of
Styrofoam (Like the feel of take away cups) when you apply the top
coat it becomes incredibly smooth and amazingly glossy.
★★★★★/5 It has to be a full five stars, I almost feel like I have two polishes in one because of how different it looks with/out the top coat. Silly note: I have decided to give it the nickname of 'Cinderella's Slippers' because of how glassy/glossy it looks with a top coat!
If I borrowed this from a friend
would I go and buy myself a bottle? ABSOLUTELY!
Have you tried any polishes from
Layla yet? Do you prefer this with or without the topcoat?
You can find Layla polishes at HQHair.
Have a wonderful day whatever your
plans may be :)
Love
Ithi

DeleteHello Ithi! Happy Holidays my dear, I'm glad to hear you had a fantastic day back in your home country. I have missed everyone so much this time not being able to travel to Argentina. But we had a quiet and pleasant time anyway. No turkey for us this year, we had a rich brunch and we had fun making pancakes all together, my baby's first try weren't bad at all! some even better than mine, hihi.
ReplyDeleteThis manicure is absolutely awesome, the silver is perfect, no wonder why is your all time favourite.
Cinderella's slippers is just the right name for it! I like the matte and the glossy finish. Have a great time with your family!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you agree Stadtwaldvogel! Me too, each other looks so different texture wise but they are both great :) Thank you, I hope you are doing the same! xx
