I've been getting pretty mooshy lately while talking about blogging friends - so I thought I'd stay on the mooshy train and talk about another friend - Melissa from Lacquer Reverie. I have raved about her blog on Facebook so many times because her posts are so fun to read. She is so witty and I love witty people. She is a new blogger; but has grown very quickly, and I am so proud of her.
Melissa was kind enough to surprised me with a gorgeous polish. This is Layla Ceramic Effect CE52. It is also known as "The Butterfly Effect". 
Isn't it beautiful? I love it so much. As you can see, it's a flaky polish that shows sparks of orange, yellow, red, green, and a little blue. The flakies are suspended in a purple jelly base, so I thought I would layer it over a color that matches the base....Zoya Yasmeen.
I believe Melissa found this at Ulta. She showed another Layla in her post here and I was surprised when she mentioned she found it at Ulta. With Ulta being my second home, it surprises me that I have never seen them. You better believe I will be looking for them next time I'm there.
I was so impressed with this polish....I only used one coat over two coats of Yasmeen. Yasmeen is such a beautiful purple. Here is how Zoya describes it: "dark blue-toned purple base with very strong red-toned medium purple shimmer and hints of gold duochrome." It's a must have Zoya, in my opinion.
Have you tried any Layla's yet? If so, what are your favorites? I need to go shopping:)
Thanks Melissa!!!!
That's a pretty purple!!!
ReplyDeleteyes, they are!
DeleteWoah, that's a real Beauty :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love it:)
DeleteGorgeous! I have this sitting sadly in my untrieds.
ReplyDeleteWell you better change that real quick!
DeleteTHAT'S SO COOL!!! It's like Fantasy Fire and Orly Fowl Play had a bebe. Awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteIt does!
DeleteIt's soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love it.
DeleteThis polish has been on and off my wishlist so many times... I think this post has cemented it's spot back on.
ReplyDelete:) I have polished like that. I take them off when I go through and clean-up my wish list and then when I see a new post, it goes back on. I also see posts and then go to put a polish on my list and it's already there...now that's a sign!
DeleteWow...this looks fantastic on you! It's SO shiny! I gotta try mine out. And what a beautifully sweet post! :) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your swatches and what you have to say about it:) Thanks again!
DeleteHi Essie, oh now this is my favorite Layla and lucky me, I also own it (ordered through Harlow & Co). Well, to keep up with the mooshy mood - you deserve nothing less!!! You are such a wonderful friend. And how awesome from Melissa to have sent this gem your way. And your combination is fantastic and suits you wonderfully xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much:) Blogger Friends are the BEST!
DeleteButterfly Effect is a great Layla polish and it looks wonderful on you! The Layla Ceramic polish in black is definitely my go-to black polish for a few months now, so that is one Layla polish I can recommend.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll check it out when I go to Ulta next:)
DeleteOooh that's just beautiful! And I think it looks pretty fantastic over Yasmeen! Love it! :D

Deleteoh that is gorgeous! I wish I had some blogger friends. Lol just someone to talk too. I feel so out of place in nail polish community. Like I don't belong, yeah I know that weird. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel out of place. The only way I have met people is through emailing and FB groups. Just shoot me an email any time...I love getting to know new nail bloggers/polish lovers. Welcome to the community!
DeleteOooh love that! Don't feel like that Veronica! I am only new to the blogging world but if you want to talk feel free to send me an email! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, sending an email is the easiest way to talk to anyone...and I think most people are willing to talk...especially when it comes to blogging and nail polish. It's a hobby that we all enjoy and have lots to say about:)
DeleteThank you both! I just feel weird emailing people, I dont want go feel like I am bothering them. Lol
DeleteWell I'll email you then....as soon as I get to work :)
DeleteSimply GORJUSSSSSS!!!! :-D Thank you, you've now made me want both of these!! :-P The Zoya is definitely going on my list for any future orders. And that Layla totally reminds me of a Nfu Oh flakie...love those. I'll for sure be keeping my eyes peeled for this and other Laylas whenever I go to Ulta next. Btw, your mention of Ulta being your "second home" totally made me lol! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDont feel weird or anything Veronica! I emailed Essie and I am so glad I did, she got me into blogging and has become a great friend :) x x
