Layla Softouch Effect 07 Queen Bourdeaux

went riding this morning and (happily!) didn't fall off. it is a little scary still... it's wild that falling off one time in six months will do that to you... you'd think you'd remember all those times you didn't fall off! also ran a few errands, at Marshalls i found the cutest Nailtini set... i'd never heard of that brand before. i will definitely be doing a post on them soon.

i picked up today's polish at Ulta... i saw it on their swatch wheel and had to have it! it's Layla Softouch Effect 07 Queen Bourdeaux, a gorgeous dark red that dries down to a matte-like finish with a subtle shimmer. once you add topcoat (i recommend two coats to get it really shiny!) it turns into an amazing cherry red shimmer! i adore multitasking polishes like this. best of all, the formula is awesome, could probably be a thick one coater, but i used two to make sure it was all even and smooth.

two coats 07 Queen Bourdeaux, pinky and middle nails have two added coats of Seche Vite to finish off.

Layla polishes can be found at Ulta and Ulta.com, Zappos.com, and NinjaPolish.com for around $10! also check out the English version of Layla's website!

i can't get over how different this polish looks with topcoat... i'm absolutely in LOVE with this multitasking beauty! Ria :)
