OMG! You all have to see this ๐ The new Mirror Effect collection from Laylaย released a while ago and here are the swatches of the first color: Black as Ebony
I loooove this! This almost looks like Minx nails. The polish has perfect coverage, you can apply the polish with just one coat, but it’s better to apply two thin coats because the polish is a bit streaky. The effect appears when the polish is completely dry so you do have the wait for a little while.
If you want maximum effect use a nail buffer first, your nails have to be as smooth as possible. If you use a normal base coat the polish is gonna freak out, it get’s bubbly and streaky and looks terrible so use an aqua base coat. The polish is grey/silver, it’s much more grey then on the pictures but my camera just wouldn’t capture it ๐ The color that you see on the side of my nails are the color of the polish.
I can’t wait to try the next one ๐
What do you think, is this something you would wear?
Update: I’ve been wearing the polish now for 14 hours and I already have a lot of chip wear. If you apply a top coat you will lose the chrome effect. Make sure you use the tip wrap method you prevent this polish from chipping fast.
Love,
D.

Beautiful!
Thanks Karine!!
WOW! Are these available in Ulta or just online? I would love to get my hands on some chrome finishes.
Unfortunately I don’t live in the USA so I don’t have an Ulta store here ๐ I’m from Holland and here they don’t sell the polishes anywhere, so only on line. Maybe somebody from the USA can help you? ๐
OMG!!!! I’m quite literally speechless!!! *_*
Haha thank you ^^
What is ‘tip wrap’ method?
First you wrap the tips of your nails, this means you take a tiny bit of nail polish on your brush and place it on the tips of your nails. Then you apply the nail polish like you normally do. This way the nail polish stays on longer. I wrote it down to make a tutorial about it soon ๐
