Layla Ocean Rush

Here is another one of the ahmazzzzing Layla holographic polishes.
Seriously. And the rumor is that there is a new collection of them coming out with 8 new colours! Whee!

Also for Canadians - Harlow & Co carries these now with free shipping over $50. They're $16 there (compared to $15.50 at aveyou.com).

This is two coats over Nfu-Oh Aqua Base with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri Clear as topcoat (triangular bottle - try it! Doesn't dull the holo at all!)

See more pictures below the cut!

Layla Mercury Twilight

Holos are amazing. Period. End. Of. Story.

This one is extra awesome. Seriously.

 

 This is two coats of Layla over a good coat of Nfu Oh Aqua Base.
This is one of the stubborn holos that really needs Aqua Base to be smooth. Aqua Base is totally worth having in your arsenal. However, it must be applied and given a good amount of time to dry (a lot of people say 30 min, I usually wait about 15min) in order for it to be smooth and not drag. 

I purchased these off Aveyou.com, they retail at $15.50 but the shipping to Canada was pricy and I had to pay about $18 in duty fees when I picked up my package. I ordered 5 of these so expect more to come as the sunnier weather rolls around!

Ozotic 534

Hello lovelies!
Today I have a really special polish for you!
This is Ozotic 534, which is a gorgeous holographic and a duochrome! Did that just blow your mind? It reflects mostly blue/purple and the holographic effect is really strong. The only thing about the polish I didn't like was the price - at $17.50 USD + shipping, it's a little pricy, but worth every penny!

Urban Outfitters - Bar Stool & Holographic Stamp

This polish was a complete surprise to me! I found it at Urban Outfitters and I'm pretty sure it is their house brand. It was great in 2 coats. I stamped it with China Glaze OMG using one of my Konad plates (don't have it with me to verify the number, sorry!). This plate was a bit of a pain and I found it easiest to do each side of my nail individually.

Slightly less Christmasy but it fits

So this isn't a super Christmas-y NOTD but it's my blog, dammit! Kidding! This one is the beautiful Original Holographic version of OPI's My Private Jet, SO amazing. Accent finger is Nicole by OPI Sprinkle of Twinkle (I always calls this polish Sprinkle of Tinkle... just me?) This is a quickie manicure that I wore for a Ozzy Osbourne concert :)



Sorry the pic isn't the greatest!
