Green Ceramic Effect

Today I have another one of Layla's Ceramic Effects, CE-54.

This is a green jelly base with glitters.  You see two coats on the nail.  I thought this was very thick and hard to get good coverage with it.  Perhaps it was user error.  I suppose I should have layered it over another green polish.  I think it has a lot of potential to be pretty, but it just wasn't my favorite.  I couldn't do any more layers because it was so thick.

Meh, they can't all be winners!

The Butterfly Effect is Plugged In

Well, folks, this is it, I have found my perfect purple.  OPI Plugged in Plum.  I LOVE this shade.  I love everything about it.  The way it pops, the way it shimmers, the way it looks on my skin.  I want to hug it and scream "my preccciiiooooussss" every time I see it in my melmer drawers.

As with most of my OPIs it also went on perfectly.  Very little need to clean up (and believe me, I paint like a 4 year old sometimes).  It was the perfect consistency and I just loved it to bits.

Look at that sparkle!  The depths of the colors.  Winning people, winning!

Then I did something dumb and attempted to put my house key on the ring after I took my car for service.  DUMB girl.  I mean next time I'll let them break into my house versus messing up a great mani!

So I put Layla Ceramic Effect CE 52 - The Butterfly Effect - on top.  This is pretty and in the light it did catch some great flashes.  In all honesty, I preferred the OPI by itself.  This didn't WOW me.  I mean it really should have looking at the photos, but it didn't.  I found the formula on these Laylas to be VERY thick.  Luckily, the jelly base helped it to clean up easy, but argh.
