A renewed glitter obsession! L-A Glitter Nails Review

Hello everyone! My second post for today is so I can share with you a polish maker that I found on Etsy this last week. Lyka-Ann of L-A Glitter Nails had such beautiful looking glitter polishes on show at such low prices, I couldn't resist! I bought three, Grape, Apple and Sapphire. They arrived within a couple of days prettily wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon and looked stunning in the bottle.


 

However, until you've tried them you can never be sure with glitters, but OMG these were awesome! Packed with glitter, no issues with settling, the colours are ridiculously vibrant and they went on like a charm!

Grape is a vibrant, electric magenta shade, truly eye-catching. Apple is a zingy (is that even a word?), bright and fresh apple green (no surprises there eh?) and Sapphire is a deep sparkling royal blue.

I decided to try out some nail art with them to show them off straight away, and went with a glitter abstract. The base is LA Colors Lilac Frost, and I then freehanded sections of the three glitters using a striping brush. I used three coats, but two probably would've done. I finished with a coat of Seche Vite.





These arrived yesterday and I have already been back for three more, so I have Orange, Lemon and Peacock on the way. Can't wait until I have enough for a glitter rainbow! :) The shop also has a selection of duochromes which are next on my list. Go and check out L-A Glitter Nails Etsy shop, you won't be disappointed :)

    1. They're awesome, Missy! That's how I usually feel when I find a new indie and they're US based lol. Not sure about rates but they do ship worldwide :)
