Layla Ceramic Effect 52 a.k.a. The Butterfly Effect

Here's a swatch on Layla Ceramic Effect 52. For those of you who don't know, the Layla Ceramic Effect line states that no base or top coat is needed for this polish to look shiny like...you got it...ceramic.

I loved the deep purple and the suspended orange-to-green flakies of this polish so I had to try it out.

Below you will see two coats of this polish without top coat, three coats without top coat, and three coats with top coat all under artificial and natural light. Enjoy!
