Ok people-I have pushed the limits of layering farther than I've ever gone before! Today we have a ten layer mani! Oh yeah I said TEN layers! I don't recommend this to anyone who doesn't have hours and hours to sit patiently and dry. I dented this, creased it and that was after hours of dry time!
The cool thing about this is the holo overload I used. I also used the base coat I started with as my funky so you can see where I started and where I ended up. Are you ready??
First up, the silly bottle shot.
This is Hits No Olimpo Hermes, a gold holo, Essie As Gold as it Gets, Bettina Copper, Bettina Bird and Hits No Olimpo Hefesto, a holo topcoat. What-you didn't think I was just gonna pile ten layers of the same color did you?
I started with Copper and Bird. Copper is a metallic copper color and Bird is a stunning banana yellow creme. I am in love with Bird. Here are your shots.

Isn't Bird pretty? I'm obviously on a light polish kick aren't I? I then did a layer of Hits Hermes, one layer of Essie Gold, one layer of Hits Hefesto and topped it off with my funky in the color I started with. Are you ready to be stunned?

Oh yeah now that's what I call holo overload! OMG! I am actually loving what Bird looks like. The Essie gold flakies get lost in all the holo goodness. But I am impressed with this mani.
What do you guys think? Should I go for eleven layers?
