Hmm, This Is Strange...

 Edit: This color is LA Colors Sea Green. I forgot to add that! Sorry!

So while I was shopping today, I stumbled upon a big bin of LA Colors nail polish at a discount store. Awesome! I like some of LA Colors' stuff so I browsed through them. I found two colors I really liked and I bought them.

Well once I got home and started swatching, I noticed something. These colors both had the same name! They were two different colors! One looks like it is older and the other looks like it is newer. Here's the photos. Take a look for yourself!

As you can see, the new one is more blue while the older one is more green. I shook the bottles and everything thinking it may have been discoloration, but then I remembered I saw a few of the new and old ones there and they were the same. I also thought maybe the stickers had been switched possibly, but they don't show any signs of it and are stuck on pretty normal. It seems like the newer color has less golden shimmer than the older too.

I also noticed that the newer bottles have less than the older. Hmmm... I had never noticed that before either!

It's really weird. I'm guessing the newer batches are made more blue. I prefer the green (older) but I like them both so they're staying with me! :)

L.A. Colors Nail Polish Remover Pads

Hi Everyone!



Has anyone besides me stumbled upon these nail polish remover pads? I've found them to be easy to use and it quickly removes any polish.  Right now, I only have Strawberry, Grape, and Peach scented, but they all work the same.  These pads do not contain acetone (from what the label on the back says) and that's a plus for me since acetone tends to dry out my nails and the skin around them.  One pad, for me, cleans the polish off of 3-4 nails which I think is great. They are lightly scented and are a bit true to the smell.  Strawberry smells a bit like strawberry yogurt, grape smells like grape, and peach smells a bit like peach but a tiny bit off.

The only thing I don't like is that they leave your fingers and nails a bit oily, but once you wash your hands it's not there anymore.  I've found these for a dollar and I'm definitely going to buy more when I get the chance.  I still have plenty left, but they are worth it.  I have not tried these with glitter polishes yet, but I have a feeling they will work just as good at getting the glitter off.  If anyone has tried it with glitter polish, let me know how it went!

These also come in different scents like lemon, melon, and pear.

L.A. Colors Pink Sizzle

Hi Everyone!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've been a busy bee with work and things. I promise I will have a few new posts soon!

Anyway, I absolutely love this color. It's just... awesome. It's like a pink sunset to me.  Honestly, the pictures do not do it justice! I found this color for a dollar, so I picked up a few other colors too. This is also about day 3 of wearing it, so there is some wear around the tips.  This is 2 coats with a top coat.
