L.A Colors Metallic Polish

So by now we have all come to learn that Rachel has a new problem/ addiction to go along with her cosmetics problem... NAIL ART stuff. Last week I went to my CVS to fill a prescription and i love doing that because they give me 20 minutes to look around while i wait. I went straight to cosmetics, i looked around and then i said hmm what about nail polishes. Then this bad boy caught my eye! L.A Colors Metallic Polish, There are 4 polishes for $2.99! Tell me how I could pass that up?! The package does say they are limited edition, so i dont know how long they will be available so if you see them and want them, get them! I have been wanting to get some L.A Color polishes i just wasnt sure where to get them. I have been needing to check my Dollar Tree and see if they have some i just havent gotten around to it. I have never seen them at CVS so i thought it was pretty weird that they had this little package but i wasnt complaining i snatched it up along with a few other polishes (swatches of all my other polish sprees will be up soon)

Now to me..... they arent really "metallic" more like really glittery/shimmery. Its a matter of opinion i guess, to me what they call "chrome" is metallic the shiny mirror like polish. None of the polishes have names though which kind of sucks but i named them myself, we have Magenta, Deep Purple, Charcoal Black, and Teal. Not very inventive but it will help me indentify them. LOL



*FLASH*

Magenta: Its a violet hot pink with purple and blue reflects along with some silver shimmers. Its your basic hot pink though the reflects make somewhat desirable. I probably would want this polish but would wait on it for another more interesting unique color. Then again, im not much for pink.
*NO FLASH*

Deep Purple: This one i LIKE! Its this amazing purple with blue and silver glitters. You can see in the picture that it will probably take 3 coats to make it really opaque, i have 2 coats on and you can see the line of my nails free edge. Not very cute. Its a little less noticable without the flash but you can still kinda see it.
*NO FLASH*

Charcoal Black: This is one of my favorites. Its gorgeous, but then its just a dark grey with ALOT of silver glitter and we all now how much i love glitter. This one i do consider metallic-ish, it has that look of metal vs the pink and purple polish. Its kind of cool because it catches a different color in different lights, it can look like a pale gold with silver. Yes... i may be a little color blind lol but i see it that way sometimes. i swear. lol

*FLASH*

*FLASH*
Teal: THIS one is my favorite! Its bright, colorful, glittery and eye catching! All of which i look for in anything i buy or put on my face. It has gold and silver glitter/reflects in it. This i also consider more metallic than the others. It has that heavy glitter metallic look to it. Not to mention the color is beautiful! I didnt mind or really notice the fact that I didnt have a polish this color but now that i have it im like "how the eff did i not want a color like this?!"
*NO FLASH*
Overall i really like these polishes, the brush on them isnt too small to complain about but its not OPI status either. They deliver great color for an awesome price! $2.99! GO GET THEM!!
