LA Colors Color Craze - Purple

The final polish in the Shimmer Brights collection from LA Colors turned out to be one of my favorites. It is a bright shimmery purple that applied like a dream. Unlike the lime, rasberry, and orange before it, it took only 2 coats to be fully opaque! It is packed full of fine glitter. I wore it just by itself all day and did not want to take this one off...

Here it is with just two coats and a top coat.


I did catch a little sun break in between all the clouds, but not enough to fully appreciate the gorgeous shimmer...


I tried to do some nail art in the evening and was not really pleased with the result, which made it easier to want to take it off. First I painted a slanted white tip using Wet n Wild French White Creme and scotch tape. The picture in my head looked great, but sadly on the nail the white was just way to loud and distracting. I covered it with another coat of the purple to tone down the white and ended with a half dark/half light purple nail. Way better than the white, but really boring. I accented it with a few silver strokes using Essence Nail Art Silver Surfer to give it some interest. Not bad, kind of like it, but need more practice with the strokes... way to fat :D



I'll be wearing this purple again for sure... Any suggestions of better ways to accent it?

  2. I'm so glad someone else has been trying out L.A Colours! Some of theirs are good, well pigmented etc, and others feel like they will take 10 coats before being finished!

  3. @Polish Amor, one of my favorites as well! I will be playing with this one again for sure :)

    @NailsandNonsense, I agree, they are a hit or miss for me as well... wish they were a little more consistent with their polishes
