Layla Soft Touch - An Update

 

So we are 4 days in, and I think these nails are holding up quite well. Must admit I didn't, and should have wrapped the tips and I didn't, so that is one down mark for me. 

All the nails on all the fingers are showing tipwear, but I think that could be slightly due to the application before. I also suffered two major chips. However, they were both explained. The chip on my middle finger came first, and this was due to a broken nail having to be mended with clippers. When I clipped, a chip came off. The second chip on my index finger was due to an over excited puppy thinking my finger was a toy. Ouch.

I have typed plenty. Unwrapped and wrapped oodles of deliveries for the shop, moved desk at work, driven, washed my hair, been eaten by the pup. All the things you have to do on a daily basis. 

I am really impressed with the staying power of this nail varnish. If I hadn't broken the nail they would still have been wearing the polish now. But my staying power was questioned and I failed at the hurdle when my new a-england dragon was delivered. Whilst I am not sure I could put my hand on my heart and say it would last 10 - 15 days I am sure I could have got 6 without incident, and for a polish without a topcoat thats pretty damn fine.

 

Cherry Diva 10 - 15 days?

I am going to do something a little unusual for me here. I am one for changing my nails all the time. It isn't unusual for me to do them in the morning and at night, just for a change.

But, these new Layla soft touches come with a suggested wear time of 10 - 15 days. Also, that they need no undercrackers or top coat. Now, I do normally try to keep my sticky fingers out the shop stock because it was one of the few restrictions my husband put on me when I started. But, it is only one bottle, and surely I need to check it lasts as long as they say? That's is justified to me I think!

So, here you see Cherry Diva. It glides on, effortlessly as do all the Layla polishes. I cannot say how highly I recommend their polishes, they are lovely to use.

In the pictures you are seeing three coats, no top coat, no undercrackers, just as suggested. I was worried it would take ages to dry, purely due to my addiction to Seche Vite, but it was quick to settle down and was dry to the touch within a couple of minutes. Its a lovely rich pinky red with a slight hint of gold speckles, but it is no more than speckles. You can't see or feel any glitter pieces in the polish.

I type all day at work, and most of the time I am not there too. I am quite hard on polish, so we will see how it fairs against the claims. I will keep you all updated with the process.

Its a New Dawn, Its a New Day

I don't think it is any surprise to anyone out there that 2012 wasn't the best year for me. But, we are through and I am not looking back. With all this on my mind I haven't been able to blog, I haven't even painted my nails properly in ages, but that is all changing.

So, New Year, new start, new name for the blog. The polish shop is taking up lots of my time, but I am absolutely loving it. ( everyone at work who has no understanding of the desire for polish from anywhere other than Boots keep asking me if I am selling Polish people... it is no longer funny. So, I am tying everything together. I have a new facebook account, and we have a facebook group for the shop so people can keep up to date with what is happening.

So, to assist with this dragging myself from my malaise I invested in some new stamping plates from Nailz Craze and armed myself with Layla Mirror Effects in Black as Ebony.

Firstly the undercrackers. It is Models Own 'Nude Beige' which I had as part of my secret santa from the Nail Polish Addicts Forum. As with all Models Own polishes it applied really well, even and gave a lovely base. It looked like it wasn't there, which was just the effect I was looking for.

I was quite impressed with the Nailz Craze plate. It was easy to use, and the pattern appeared really deeply etched so it was easy to use. My only criticism would be that it had no backing, so it was as sharp as hell. But this can be forgiven for the lovely image.

The Layla polish used to stamp is really pretty. Its not black, its a dark silver or pewter in my opinion, but it gave me exactly the look I wanted. It also spread very far, it only took a stripe across the plate and the polish filled the image. Nice because it means you wont waste loads of polish which easily happens when stamping.

Hope you enjoy the images. Can't wait to start on my journey again.
