Layla Jade Green

Hey guys!  I'm back!!!  Kind of... life is still super duper crazy, for both me and Courtney.  Work is insane for both of us, I just finished another semester of grad school, I'm 4 months out from my wedding and Courtney is in baby prep mode.  The good news is - I'm not taking a class this summer!  The aren't offering one I want to take that I haven't already taken.  It does unfortunately push out graduation, but it'll be ok.  More good news - my fiance got me a lens for our camera for close up nail pics!!! So now I'm dying to try it out.  That being said, I have about 5 posts in the draft queue of blogger.  I put the pictures in and then never get around to writing the text.  So before I start posting my new awesome camera photos I need to post these old ones.  It will also give me a little time to get my cuticles back in shape, I've been seriously neglecting them recently.

So on of my long awaited polishes to show you is Layla Holographic Effects in Jade Green.  As someone who is just getting into linear holos, these Layla's are full of win.  I splurged and bought the whole set :P.  I've only tried a few so far.  I use Aqua Base underneath them and then use my OPI DS Top Coat over them.  They aren't the most long wearing nail polishes, but they are so beautiful.  I usually only get 2 days of wear before they chip.  I think my nails hate the Aqua Bases.  Oh well...

Jade Green is a silver that wants to be green.  As you can tell from my pics, it is barely green.  Just a hint can be seen, and mostly when the holo isn't out in full force.  The tricky part is that the holo is almost always out in full force.  I took pictures in pretty much ever light I could find to try to show you the green.  Can you see it?

First up - outside - full sun.

So I've got a lot more Layla's to show you - what do you want to see first once I break out the new lens?  You can get this and the others at places like Aveyou.com and Ulta.com for $15.50 a bottle.
