LA COLORS

Here are a few LA Colors swatches for you. These polishes can be found at your local Dollar Tree when in stock.

The very last color was the one I had on before I hurt my back. I can attest that these colors wear awesome. I had it on for a full 7 days with not a single chip, of course I wasn't up doing much, just laying on the couch so maybe that had something to do with it.

LICKETY-SPLIT LIME JELLY

For my nails last night, I went for something BRIGHT! For the base coat I used LA Colors in teal (no name on the polish) and I stamped with Sally Hansen - Lickety-Split Lime. It doesn't get much brighter, does it? I was going to stamp skulls and cross bones but I decided on the animal print instead.

HEY! YOU PICKED IT!

Today I have for you all the mani that you picked out for my mom. You all chose:

Purple Nail Color
Creme Finish
Konad Plate M57

I painted my mom's nails with one of my beloved TiNS nail polishes last week and she has been wearing the heck out of it, so that's what took so long on this mani. The TiNS are really so pretty you MUST wear it until the wheels fall off - so to speak :)

Anyway, on to this mani. I spared my mom the animal print - but I was really tempted to use it! I decided to paint the base color using the LA Colors Purple I swatched the other day. I then used the fishnet pattern and NYC - Royal Foil - a purple, foil polish. Then I used the flower pattern from the same plate and China Glaze - Passion and stamped on the flowers. For the final touch, a little clear jewel was added to the center of each flower. I wasn't real impressed with this mani as I got started on it, but the little jewels really added a nice cherry on the top!


Thanks again to all who helped select My Mom's Next Mani!

HIGH VOLTAGE

Today I have my second set of LA Colors I got from the Polish Pixie. This collection is called High Voltage, and just like the other collection I swatched, none of the polishes have names. Why do companies do this? When I franken a polish - the name is like the cherry on top, it just feels like a incomplete job, half-assed if you will. At least the beauty of these polishes takes my mind of the whole name thing. I loved all eight colors from both collections.



High Voltage still has bright, intense colors, but these each have flashes of another color going through them. None of these are jellies like the Explosive collection. These collections are available through Cherry Culture and run $6.00 per collection. There is one more collection, Amp'd, that I am very intrigued on getting since I like both of the other collections so much.

Sorry for the crappy pic here, but it was the only one I had without flash, so I had to use this one. This one is a pink with orange/gold shimmer through out. My favorite from this collection.

This one is a purple with blue/silver shimmer throughout. The shimmer on this one was really strong in person.

This green one was a little strange in that it didn't really fit in with the collection. This one has glitter in it, while none of the other colors did. This one was also really light, and after three coats it still was on the sheer side. This one would look good layered over another darker green I think.

This one was really cool, it was kind of blue and green at the same time. It reminds me alot of NYX - Jungle. This was my second fav. from this collection.
