Hare Polish Holiday Hoopla and Swanky Soiree

I was lucky enough to get these two Hare Polish Holiday 2012 polishes. I really love these polishes, they aren't traditional holiday colors but still festive and wearable anytime of the year. 

Swanky Soiree has a gray base with red and gray glitter of varied size throughout. I used two coats for full coverage. 

Holiday Hoopla ended up being my Christmas Day mani. I applied two coats over OPI Don't Touch My Tutu. Those pale pink glitter add a nice touch to the whole look. I will have to wear this again on Valentine's Day. 

These two Hare polishes were meant to be a limited edition Holiday 2012 set, so I am not sure if they will be restocked on Llarowe or within Hare's Etsy shop but check Hare's Facebook page for updates. 

OPI Man of La Mancha

OPI Man of La Mancha is another oldie but goodie OPI. It was released in the 2003 OPI Holiday on Broadway collection. It is on the sheer side so I layered it over Hare Rusty Hearts. I love this stunning multi-chrome, it made my nubs look better than I could ever expect. 

Essie Bonded

How about a festive red to countdown to the new year? You could not ask for a better polish than Essie Bonded. It's an bright cherry red with silver and red micro-glitter. Super easy application, probably due to the fact that was released in the pre-B3F days. Hands down my favorite Essie polish.

Layla Ceramic #31 Pure Black and #53 Killing Red

Layla Ceramic polishes were recently stocked within local Ulta stores in my area. With a coupon in hand, I couldn't resist picking up a few bottles. 

Layla Ceramic #31 Pure Black was bought with the intent to see how it held up against my current favorite black nail polish, Finger Paints Black Expressionism. I used two coats in the photo but would have been fine with just one coat and the polish has a really nice glossy finish. I am impressed, it may actually replace my bottle of Black Expressionism. 

Layla Ceramic #53 Killing Red is a red jelly with gold flakies. Very similar to Barielle's Elle's Spell, except that Killing Red is a cherry jelly and Elle's Spell is a raspberry jelly. I got full coverage with just two coats. I think I do prefer this to Elle's Spell, I love this cherry red color. 

I purchased my Layla Ceramic bottles in store at a local Ulta but they are also online at Ninja Polish.
