Layla Cosmetics Nail Polish Swatches – What I Saw At Cosmoprof 2012

August 5, 2012
The Layla Cosmetics booth at the Cosmoprof North America 2012 show was simply amazing! I ooohed and ahhhhed and took 100 pictures that I’m going to share with you. Everything was stunning. I’ve swatched some colors myself but I’ll save those for another post as this is already going to be very full!!  The girls from Layla were displaying nail polish at the show, but I’ve peeked at their product book and they have gobs of cosmetics, which I’d really love to see as well.   The Layla booth won the Discover Beauty award at Cosmoprof 2012 and below, you can see why.

Layla Cosmetics Hologram Effect Nail Polish

Can you say Hologram? Sure, I knew you could! Holy holo, Batman! The colors are gorgeous, have a great holo effect and there are new colors added to the Hologram Effect line. You might have seen these in Ulta, if you’re in the US and lucky enough to have that store in your area. They are also available online at Ninja Polish.  What?  You want to see close up pictures?  Ask and you shall receive.

Could they possibly be any more amazing? No, they could not. One great thing about Layla Cosmetics nail polishes is that you don’t need a base coat. Nothing is going to interfere with your holographic polish. There is a buffer for the holos which you use to prepare the nail and then just apply polish. Layla polishes don’t discolor or stain the nails. They’re really amazing formulations.

Myself and the other bloggers who attended Cosmoprof 2012 were invited to an evening sponsored by Layla Cosmetics where we could visit and learn about Layla. I learned about the company but also a lot about the nail polish industry in general. It was a wonderful time with the ladies.

The story of Layla Cosmetics is so sweet. The founder, an Italian gentleman, worked on a ship.  It had broken down and he was stranded in NYC for two years. He lived in the dock area, around where people made nail polish. In his spare time, he learned everything he could about polish and then took it back to his home in Milan. He was deeply in love with an Arabian woman named Layla, (pronounced LYE-la), and he named his company after her. They then had a daughter they named Layla as well.  Isn’t that a sweet love story that produced both children and a terrific formula of polish?  The factory is still in Milan and if you go to Italy, you may want to be sure and tour it.  It sounds fascinating!

Layla has an amazing polish finish that I haven’t seen anywhere else.  It’s called Softouch Effects.  You might think at first glance that they’re mattes, but they’re not.  They give almost a velvety look.  Some of them have sparkle and some don’t.  They are like a subdued polish in their finish.  You have to see and feel it to believe it.  They are simply gorgeous. They’re almost like a satiny feeling mattish polish.

Let me tell you about Layla’s Magneffects nail polish. Remember none of the Layla polishes need a base coat because they will NOT stain the nail!! I found that if you apply a thick coat of the Magneffect, you’ll get a more visible marbling from the magnet. Unfortunately, I seem to have missed a photograph of their Magneffects polish wheels. Such a shame because they have some really pretty colors, some with glitter in them. (I’m a glitter fiend).

I do have something similar for you…the Magneffect Softouch Effect nail polish swatches. They are magnetic and have the similar finish to the Softouch Effect polishes.

The magnet on the polishes are attached to the top of the bottle. It is, by far, the strongest magnet I’ve used with polish. You can feel the pull when it’s placed near your finger. It truly works. When you roll your finger around afterward, looking at it from different angles, it’s like a cat’s eye marble. Pretty Cool.

If you’re looking for a great chrome nail, you need to try the Layla Mirror Effect nail polish. There is a buffer that you need to get which buffs the nail to a shine, taking out any lines or ridges you might have. You need that to achieve the mirrored look. It’s super easy and it’s not a ridged buffer like what you’re used to. Stunning!

Last, but by no means the least, are the Layla Ceramic Effects nail polishes. This is the bulk of the line from Layla. Every color of the rainbow exists here.

Instagram post 2191008739725636357_197084306 How do you like this outfit for festivity season?  @torrid has so many things to choose from and I appreciate that they have clothes that fit every body style from apple to pear and everything in between.  This top is so luxe and fulfills a deep desire I’ve had for green velvet since I was 7 and my mom said no.  Who’s the grownup now????
.
.
The black jeans have some sparkle to them and fit like a glove.  I tell you what, I have so much fun at Torrid!!! Everyone is so friendly there and I always find things I love. (Don’t know why my head is cut off but I wanted to post about the clothes anyway,). Video coming soon. .

Instagram post 2162010103561884999_197084306 There I was in my @Poshmark picture area gathering things to list for #fallposhfind when I turned around and my boots were headed to the door!! I’m pretty sure Ms Suede Wedge was the leader as she was instructing all the Leathers to quietly exit first. .
.
“Yo, what’s up boots?”, I asked.  They begged me to find them homes with fall loving people who would wear them & share their lives.  I had to agree that this summer lover just never will.  You will find these and more fall goodies on #Poshmark where I am @polarbelle.  #poshaffiliate .
.
You can load the app from the link in my profile and when you do, use the code POLARBELLE to receive #poshcash to start scoring your new fall finds.  Poshmark has, for sure, been the quickest and easiest way for me to make quick cash selling the things I’ve purchased but am not using.  Think about giving these babes a home or find something that suits you.  It’s a great marketplace!!
.
.
So....how many of y’all are summer people and how many are fall?

Instagram post 2159899176788165335_197084306 Never skip a sheer gloss with blue tones!!! Read on >> @pixibeauty X @chloemorello Lip Icings In Parfait, Sorbet and BonBon, part of the new Pixi Pretties Collab. .
.
The 411:  A sheer gloss with some blue tones makes teeth and eyes look white and brighter.  BUT my favorite aspect is how juicy it makes lips look.  If you want a truly wet looking full pout, try a sheer blue tinted gloss - my favorite way to wear it is over a coral.  Juicy, wet and whitening.  I know my bio says Highlighter Queen but Sorbet was the first item I purchased from the new collab collection.  Never sleep on a sheer blue gloss!!
.
.
Scroll for swatches.  All three are stunning!!
.
.
What’s your favorite juicy lip trick?

Instagram post 2149716965673787049_197084306 Thank you to @pcaskin for helping me ease into fall with a beautiful blanket and some skincare to meet the seasonal needs.  All the items are gluten-free which I’m thankful for.  In addition to the blanket, I received:
Makeup Cleansing Wipes, (haven’t used them yet)
*
Creamy Cleanser which smells like a spa in a bottle.  Gentle, effective and hydrating. *
Nutrient Toner - YAAAS with pumpkin wine enzyme.  It defines pores, nourished and smells amazing in this season!
*
Vitamin B3 Serum reduces the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin with 6% niacinamide.  I’m excited for this because I e never started niacinimide before and I like how it feels on the skin. *
Daily Defense abroad Spectrum SPF 50+. Powerful spf that helps prevent free radical damage
*
Hydraluxe - a rich moisturizer that doesn’t feel heavy to me.  It improves skin moisture retention with IQ: Adaptive Hydration and snow algae. *

Instagram post 2146049811355128801_197084306 Just another day of #poshpackages leaving my house to live their best life with new owners.  I enjoy buying and selling on @poshmark knowing that others will make better use of things I’m not.  I’ve been selling makeup, clothing and shoes the last few months which has given me the cash that I’ve needed.  I find #Poshmark easier & quicker for listing than other platforms and I can always find the items I’m looking for on there too.  Download the app, use the code Polarbelle to receive $10 posh cash to start shopping, and send your extra unloved items off to their happiest life.  The link is in my bio.  #poshaffiliate #ad .
