LA Girl Color Addict - Delirious

Hello Everyone,

Hope your all having a marvellous weekend. The sun is shining here in London for once and I'm spending my day in the garden :-) Today I have a LA Girl Color polish from their Addict collection. I've swatched a couple from this collection before, Idol, Disorder and Intoxicate. This one is called Delirious.

This is three coats of Delirious. Not as opaque as the darker colours in the Addict collection. Delirious is a turquoise creme with gold shimmer. So pretty, reminds me of the ocean or a tropical beach (obviously not South-end) . Price? $2.50 (£1.54) from Cherry Culture. There's still quite a few I want from this collection including Extreme, Urge and Habit.

What do you think?

LA Girl Metal - Metallic Olive

Hello Everyone,

Hope your all good. Today I have one of the LA Girl Metal collection colours to show you - Metallic Olive. Got this a while back from Beauty Base in Westfields Stratford. I picked up this and one other which for the life of me I can't remember the name of??

Natural Light

Excuse the purple stained cuticles. This is 3 coats of Metallic Olive, a forest green metallic polish. Very similar in finish to LA Colors - Catus. The metallic finish is actually made up of tiny shimmer particles, giving a flecked textured look. Formula gave me no issues and was a total bargain at £1.99.

What do you think?

LA Girl Addict - Intoxicate

A very merry Xmas to you all!!

I haven't got a Christmas mani for you, tried a little stamping yesterday and it failed miserably! So I thought I would show the final polish out of the LA girl addict collection which I got from Cherry Culture - Intoxicate. My application was slightly sloppy on this one for some reason. I did try to be neat, honest. I just had one of them days when your really clumsy for no reason.

Eeek! sloppy application but swit swoo what a stunner of a polish! Intoxicate is a rich plum shade containing the same golden shimmer we've seen in the other two polishes I swatched here and here. The golden shimmer only really shows under artificial or direct sunlight. But look at that glow! AND nearly a one coater like the other two. These are currently still for sale on Cherry Culture online for $2.50 each (approx £1.60).

On another note, after seeing the upcoming Hunger Games Collection from China Glaze (google it if you haven't) I was like "Hunger Games? Huh? Who??" (Yes I'm light years behind everyone).  I've now bought the first book, and I'm currently at chapter 6. I'm liking it a lot although I keep on picturing Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Running Man for some reason?

Once again, enjoy your day tomorrow!!

LA Girl Addict - Disorder

Hello Everyone!!

I feel like its been ages since I wrote my last post...I was getting blogger withdrawal symptoms big time. I'm finally at home for the holidays (yay!) although last week was so crappy, but at least it will make me appreciate this week more.

Today I have the second of my LA Girl Addict collection - Disorder. I actually thought this was a khaki shade, but it's a murky grey. Still gorgeous.

Indoors - Artificial Light

With Flash

This was very nearly a 1 coater like Idol although the gold shimmer is much more prominent in Disorder, making it a warm grey. It does have a green tone so I wasn't totally mad thinking it was a dark khaki.

I wish I ordered more of this collection, I love the murky/dusky shades combined with the gold shimmer. I have one more to show you which I will hopefully get done this week.

Have a great week

LA Girl Addict - Idol

Afternoon Nail Poppers

Today I have one of the LA Girl Addict polishes I ordered from Cherry Culture a couple of weeks back. This is Idol, one of three which I ordered and the one I was looking forward to the most.

Outside - Natural Light

 Indoors - With Flash

Idol is a dusky navy creme containing golden shimmer. This is 1 coat, such good coverage. The shimmer didn't really show in the outdoor shots or much in real life, but it was a very gloomy day without much natural light. The flash shots show Idol's potential. Really like this shade, can't remember for the life of me how much I paid for this, although it wasn't much, a couple of pounds i think?

What do you think? Do you Idolise Idol?
