Today I've got one of the Layla Bubble Effect polishes to share with you- this is Black Forest, a polish very similar to OPI's Black Spotted lacquer (which was exclusive to Europe, if I understand correctly). In terms of application, I applied this as I would a shatter topcoat: I used one medium coat, applied it quickly and evenly, and then I stopped fussing with it. The end result was this oil-on-water kind of effect. The base colour is SpaRitual Quietness.
I also layered this over Man Glaze's Butt Taco (oh, that name...) which I think provided a more striking effect.
What do you think of Layla Bubble Effect in Black Forest? Think it would quell any lemming for the hard-to-procure OPI Black Spotted? If so, and you're wondering where you can order it, you can find it at Nail Polish Canada, which is where I ordered mine from.
In the last 3 pictures it does look like black spotted! Yay! I might order it.x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely- maybe it has to do with the matte finish on the orange base colour? It looks more like Black Spotted, that's for sure.
DeleteI agree with Arletta on the three last - nah, I'm not having any of them as lemmings :)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about how the bubble effect would look in other colours- maybe not curious enough to order, but something to think about!
DeleteI'm not 100% sure how I feel about these yet :P But I love how it looks over Quietness.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It definitely looks different over Quietness than over the Man Glaze polish. I think I prefer the latter, but it also looks kind of neat over the SpaRitual.
DeleteThis is really cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh Yeah! Love it over Butt Taco. And I had to read that name twice.
ReplyDeleteAhahah. Yep. Every time I read or write it, I wince. :P
DeleteGreat for Halloween, you could layer this over anything! I would layer it over a really dense, and sparkly glitter.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought about layering it over a glitter- good idea!
DeleteCool beans! I kind of just wanted to try the cutepolish way of achieving the look with hand sanitizer and water though :) I'm uneasy by the chemicals they use in these types of polish.
ReplyDeleteOhh, I did see that when Kas posted about it- looks pretty cool. And I'm not informed about these chemicals- what's the deal?
DeleteOh, you could also put this UNDER a light colored jelly and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteMind. Blown. :D I'll have to try that!!
DeleteOhhhhh this looks awesome, you've created a lemming for me!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you're welcome? ;)
Deletereally cool effect!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Thanks!
DeleteI just picked up 4 of the colors Black Forest, White Meringue, Cherry Muffin and Anise Shake and the Top Coat for 3.75 I can't wait to try them out.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I'd love to hear about what you think of them. :D
