Thanks L.A. Girl for sending me these products to review!
First I'll be reviewing the Glitter Addict Nail Polish in Nostalgic
As you can see it's a gorgeous blue-green with chunky blue glitter, and smaller, multicolored glitters. This is four coats.

It has a very thick consistency which helps the glitter stay on, the drying time is average. This lasted five days, FIVE days! A lot of nail polishes will chip on me after only one day. I'm very impressed! 

Rather than chipping this just came off in one big chunk (with a couple of glitters left behind) which was great because I didn't have to bother with nail polish remover or ugly chipping.

Urge is a lime green with lots of fine, gold shimmer. This is sheer, I'd recommend 2-3 coats.

Again this lasted five days. It did chip on the fifth day unlike the glitter one which came off in one big chunk.

The only downside with this color is that it stained my nails. For the sake of this review I didn't use a base or top coat. If you use a base coat you should be okay.

Overall I recommend these, just use a base coat with the green!

  4. Cool. I've never seen these before. Five days is a long time! Mine usually chip very quickly too. I like both of these polishes, actually. I'm not too big of a fan of chunky glitters but this one looks cute. Great review. Thanks for sharing :)

  12. They are great colours. My nail polish always starts chipping after a few days but when I use a base and top coat it does last longer.

    Great review :)

  14. I'm in love with the blue glitter! I thought the green was going to be more electric - still a nice color, just not as bright as I thought it would be.

  16. Thanks for the comments everyone! I really appreciate it. :) Donna, I too thought Urge would be brighter on my nails, but I still like it. Sorry for encouraging you reeree! haha :)

    You shouldn't have the normal glitter polish issue with Nostalgic because it's very thick so it creates a thick layer and just comes off in one big chunk. Literally all of it just came off. Except a few sparkles left behind. :)

  38. -Skin Scrubs

    I'm not entirely sure, their website doesn't have a store locator, but I know you can purchase their other brand LA Colors at dollar stores & Forever 21

    Besides that their website, and probably amazon or ebay. :)
