LA Girl - Brites - Fierce Rays Review/Swatches

Helllllllo everyone! Today I have another review of a LA Girl nail polish for you. This is from their Brites collection, and this polish is called Fierce Rays! Not gonna lie, I just love the name! So lets get to it!!

Fierce Rays is a bright neon orange (hints the collection being called Brites)



This polish only needed 2 coats to be opaque, and I didn't need white underneath it! In person I couldn't see my nail lines, but the camera brought it out a bit. But in person, you couldn't see it :). It applied like a dream, went on smoothly, dried pretty quick in my opinion. I really want to get my hands on more LA Girl polish, so far I have been amazed by it! Hope you enjoyed this!!

Heart Of The Ocean (Titanic) nail design (picture tutorial)

So I'm going to try and do a picture tutorial for you, so bare with me! This is The Heart Of The Ocean nail design, and of course, it's inspired by Titanic!  sings *my heart will go on!* lol. Anywho, this is a pretty simple design, you'll need 2 polishes, heart rhinestones, and normal rhinestones. Or, if you don't have rhinestones, you can easily use a dotting tool/toothpick, anything to make this design also! So lets get to it shall we?

First, start off with your base color, this should be a nice ocean blue. I'm Using LA Colors - Aquatic, yea yea yea, with a name like that I had to use it! Here it is with 2 coats.
Then take a nice sheer blue glitter, here I am using LA Colors - Flurry, here it is with 1 coat over Aquatic.

Next, put your topcoat on your nails, and on your ring finger, while the topcoat is still wet, apply a dark blue heart rhinestone a little over halfway down your nail, then, take your normal rhinestones and from each side of the heart, make them go up like it looks like a necklace. Here are a few pictures of how it should look.



And here is a super close pic!



I hope ya'll like this! It's super simple to do! And looks very pretty! Thanks for reading, until next time! <3

LA Colors review/swatches 3 colors!

Today I have 3 LA Colors to review for you. All 3 are in the gold/coppery gorgeousness category!
The colors are, Goddess, Seashell, and Force. So lets get started!!

First up we have Goddess. It's a light bronze/gold base with micro and large holographic hex glitters in it! The pictures do it no justice!


This was 3 coats here.


Next we have Seashell.  A light yellow/gold shimmer polish.

No flash with 3 coats

With flash  3 coats.

And last but not least Force (my favorite). It's a gorgeous burnt orange/coppery/gold color.

This is 2 coats, and by far is my favorite. I am in-love with this color!


So that concludes this post. I loved all 3 of these colors, I love gold/bronze colors and these were beautiful. I know having to use 3 coats of polish seems terrible, and may take forever to dry, but LA Colors polish dries super fast for me! And the color outcomes are amazing! Hope you enjoyed this, until next time! <3

LA Girl - Color Addict - Extreme. Review/Swatches

So I received some LA Girl polishes to do a review over. And today this review will be over 1 of the LA Girl Polishes. All I've ever tried of LA Girl polishes were a few of the Magnetic polishes, and the results from those were decent for the most part. So lets get to the polish!

This polish is called Extreme and it's from their Color Addict line, To describe the color I would call it a light blue/lavender color, with gold/green shimmer in it, truly gorgeous in my opinion!


Here's another angle to try and get the gold/green shimmer, didn't turn out to well. but nonetheless, it's beautiful!


Overall, I enjoyed this polish, it was opaque in 2 coats, went on smoothly, color was accurate to the bottle. I wish I could find the polishes around my town, but I haven't been able to, besides the Magnetic ones. I would love to purchase more colors from LA Girl. Hope you enjoyed this :)) See ya'll later! <3

Now, to explain the gorgeousness of this polish! It's in a light pink base color, and has large yellow, white/silver, pink, and green glitters in it. And it has micro red, blue, white/silver, and green glitters in it. And perhaps more than my eyes will allow me to see! Overall, I freaking loooooove this! Like I said earlier, it's a party on your nails!  So what are your thoughts on it?!?! Oh, and it is 2 coats of it in the photos above :)

LA Colors Review Part 1

I'm going to review some of my LA Colors polishes here. Now I'm only doing 11 polishes in this post, but there will be more posts, because I have 75 of their polishes. And I will be receiving some more of their polishes soon. So I have 11 colors to show you today, so lets get started!


 First up we have Delicate. Beautiful light pink creme.

Next we have Daisy. Gorgeous pastel yellow.

Next is Deluxe. Gorgeous gold color. Almost seems to try to a suede finish!

Next is Lost Soul, beautiful light grey with mild shimmer in it.

Next is Meadow, lovely mint blue/green color.

Then we have Outrageous.

Then we have Razzle, gorgeous shimmer purple. Almost seems to try to a suede finish!

Then we have Reckless, gorgeous medium purple creme.

Next is Tangerine, extreme neon orange, camera would not capture the true color!

Then we have Drama, gorgeous fuchsia with purple shimmer.

And lastly we have Bloom, neon pink/peachy color. Camera would not capture the true color!


Now, you can find LA Colors polishes at Dollar Tree's, Dollar Generals, Freds, and on Cherryculture.com. They range from $1.00-$1.99. I personally loooooove these polishes, they work great for me. They usually take 2-3 coats, but they dry super fast. And the colors are gorgeous, and they have a huge range of colors from nudes to neons and everything in between! Hope you enjoyed this, there will be more posts over this brand in the near future!

Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez Collection (3 polishes)

I recently bought 3 polishes from the Selena Gomez collection of Nicole by OPI. I have never even owned an OPI polish of any sort, nor have I ever paid 7 dollars for a polish, let alone 3 of them! But for some reason this time I did! And below are swatches of the 3 I purchased. Then I will give my opinion on them :). Lets get started!

First off is Heavenly Angel a gorgeous flaky polish, this is 2 coats of Heavenly Angel over a basic black creme.

Next is Inner Sparkle, pink hex glitter with gold micro glitter, this is 1 coat over a basic black creme.


Last but not least is Sweet Dreams, silver hex glitter, with a tad bit smaler blue hex glitter, then with purple micro glitter. This is 1 coat of a basic black creme.


Overall, I loved these glitter/flaky polishes! They applied smoothly, I didn't need to *fish* for the glitter at all!     I'm actually debating going back to get the other glitters they had in this collection, I wasn't to fond of the plain colored polishes. But, I'm a sucker for glitter! Hope ya'll enjoyed this! See ya soon! <3

Pure Ice Underwears

I recently recieved 6 Pure Ice polishes to review. They're called *Underwears* Aka meaning you can put glitter, ect over them. But today I will only being showing the polishes, I did not layer them with glitter. So lets get started!

First off we have Blue Midnight, 2 coats plus topcoat.

Next is Not Now, 2 coats plus topcoat.

Next is Grunge, 2 coats plus topcoat.

Then we have Party Hard, 2 coats plus topcoat.

And then we have Ruffled Sheets, 2 coats plus topcoat.

And last but not least Sweet-Tart (my favorite) 2 coats plus topcoat.

Overall, I Loooooooove these polishes. They dried so quick, perfectly opaque in 2 coats, some barely needed a 2nd coat. I highly recommend these. Glitters will be gorgeous over these!

Jordana Nail Polish

I'm doing a quick post over Jordana nail polish. I buy these for $1.29 at a local store, but they vary from $1.29-$2.99 I think. From my personal opinion and experiences I LOOOOOOVE Jordana polish, it always goes on smooth for me, and most of the colors are opaque in 2 coats. I will be showing a variety of colors I own, but not all of them (yet). So lets begin!!!

First is Black, it's your normal basic black creme. This is probably the best black polish I have ever used.

Next is Boy Oh Boy

Next is Rhinestones from Jordana's Specialty Glitters.

Next is Creamy Fuchsia, this is a lot more bright than the picture shows

This is Red Flash, this is also from Jordana's Specialty Glitters

This is Holiday Red

This is Mango, this polish is more on the sheer side, but this is with just 2 coats.

This is Mellow Yellow, one of my favorite yellows!. This is without white underneath, and it had 3 coats. However, it doesn't look this bright in person unless you have white underneath it, the camera flash just brightened it up.

This is Pink Bunny

This is Fairy Dust, I looooove this glitter. It's also from Jordana's Specialty Glitters.

Next is Pink Lemonade, love this bright pink!

Then we have Pink Shock, this is also on the sheer side, but it has 2 coats.

And last but not least is Smooth Blue.

I hope everyone enjoyed this quick post! Jordana is one of my favorite polish brands, to me it works great and is totally affordable!   See ya'll soon! <3
