Monday Blues: Layla Metallic Sky

Hey everyone!
Всем привет!

So I should have returned to blogging nearly a week ago, just as I passed all exams, but just as I started putting together a post my wifi software went crazy, and for some reason the wifi adapter shut down. Under no circumstances would my poor laptop turn back on, and it took me a week to finally figure out where I could switch it on manually, still I'm not skipping this week's Monday Blues and I'd thought I'd have to. 
Я должна была вернуться еще неделю назад, как только сдала все экзамены, но только я начала писать пост, как решил вырубиться вай-фай приемник на моем ноутбуке, и обратно включаться он никак не желал. Неделю спустя я нашла, как его включить вручную, и вот я, наконец, здесь, и даже не пропускаю Monday Blues этой недели, хотя думала, что опять придется. 

The blue polish of the week is Layla Metallic Sky, a medium (pre-magnet) to dark ocean blue metallic magnetic polish. I know probably everyone have already played with them and have had enough of them, but I'm always late to the party, aren't I? The diagonal lines pattern has always been my favorite and that's what I went for in my mani (lucky me that that's the default magnet you get on top of Layla magnetic polish). Layla probably has one of the strongest magnetic effect, so I didn't have much problem with the pattern to show up, but what was a pain in the ass is to get the tilt degree of the lines even on all of my fingers. The polish is opaque in 1 coat (some of my nails ), but the drying power is less than average, also I forgot that top coat smudges the magnetic effect, which resulted into those streaks visible on the photos. 
Синий этой недели - Layla Metallic Sky, в "домагнитном" состоянии - средний, после магнита - темно-синий магнитный металлик. С магнитными лаками, по-моему, наигрались уже все, ну а я, как всегда, медленный газ :) Из всего многообразия узоров больше всего мне всегда нравились простые прямые линии, расположенные под углом, стандартный магнит Layla именно такой. Магнитный эффект у Layla, как пишут, один из самых сильных, так что проблем с перенесением узора на ногти были, гораздо сложнее было расположить магнит с одинаковым наклоном над всеми ногтями. Лак плотный, одного слоя хватает для идеального покрытия, но вот большой скоростью высыхания он не отличается, а я забыла, что топ имеет гадкое свойство смазывать магнитный узор, что и вылилось в продольные полосы, которые видны и на фото.

Malta haul or nail polish in Malta!

Hi everyone, here i am back from Malta!

Before leaving i raped Google, and the only thing it would tell me is that i would't have any nail polish shopping there. 'Okay', i thought, 'then i'll just order nail polish online when i'm back'. I'll still order it, i'm in love with the new Zoyas and OPIs, and i'll be sure to pick up a couple of Essies, as well. However, i did bring some nail polish with me from that paradise on Earth :)

So, nail polish in Malta:




Gabrini ? (номер содрался вместе со скотчем, которым я заматывала лаки в дорогу), 322, 356

Beauty UK 62 Street Rose, 75 Smokey Lilac, 70 Plum, 38 Burgundy

 Layla Magneffect 07 Metallic Sky, 06 Golden Nugget, Ceramic Effect 13

Essence Ticket To The Show & Front Row Or Backstage?, Naj-Oleari 71 (it's glitter, but it's MATTE so i suspect...SUEDE ^____^)

Prestige NLW – 67 Orangerie, 70 Thaiti

 Revlon Facets Of Fuchsia, Radiance, Grape Fizz

 Givenchy (supposedly, since i couldn't find either of them online, but they might as well be just old :D) Baby Vernis 52, Vernis Brilliant Couture 603 Corail Empire

Max Factor Fantasy Fire x2, Odyssey Blue 
(YES, FREAKING 2 FANTASY FIRE BOTTLES! *NAILGASM*)

Where to find nail polish:
1. Franks and other beauty shops chains
2. Pharmacies, both chain and individual. Those sometimes carry real jems!
3. Anywhere. I bought my Beauty UK, Gabrini and Essence ones at a shop in Valetta called Pushka that actually carries clothes, not cosmetics (still, they had those displays, and i couldn't miss the opportunity :D)
All in all i'm very satisfied with my purchase. I really didn't expect to buy any, and i returned with FANTASY FIRE (yes, i have to capslock :D)

Oh, also i picked up my nail mail - 3 OPI Suedes & Mermaid's Tears! I'm almost in nail polish nirvana :D
