L.A. Splash Glitters Part 2

Welcome back to part two! Here's a link back to part one.

A few things

• 2-3 coats each
• no top coat
• no special base like white, just a nude-ish thing. I did put one over navy. 
• formula is pretty decent, no melting of base coat
• not really full coverage glitters

Sparkling Gold

Very pretty little gold! Look closely at the photo: this cool customer has a pretty copper glitter mixed into the gold glitter, win.
Good coverage, and it's a very elegant result.


Sparkling Jellyfish

Similar consistency as Golden Seahorse in that it has a great base that layers to full coverage. Instead of a heavy glitter, this is packed with a pretty little holo. Very hard to photograph, hence the flash. Like this one quite a bit.


Sparkling Lavender

Another pretty multi-size glitter. More of a deep/cool glitter compared to Heiress. Hard to argue with this.


Sparkling Rose

This is a deep mauve small glitter mixed with holo hex glitter. It's a nice change of pace. I like this one a lot.


Sparkling Sand

To me this is more of a rose, and I love it. In fact there's nothing more beautiful than that soft Victorian rose. It reminds me of old prints and those older colors they used.


Sparkling Oceanspray

Gorgeous pine green glitter! Yay! I think this is one for layering, for sure! I love it.


Sparkling Stratosphere

Final entry, a beautiful sky blue. Hard to fault.


I know this has been a pretty breezy swatchfest, so these will show up again in some other manis, for sure.

L.A. Splash Glitters Part 1

Yet another glitter pile on!!!

L.A. Splash had come out with Golden Seahorse a few years ago and it was a pretty popular polish. I wanted it, but really wasn't sure about it, but saw multi-packs of L.A. Splash glitters in Ross and thought, well why not.

Finally getting around to blogging these. These were pretty inexpensive, but I took them out of the box a long time ago, so I don't have a price.

A few things

• 2-3 coats each
• no top coat
• no special base like white, just a nude-ish thing. I did put one over navy. 
• formula is pretty decent, no melting of base coat
• not really full coverage glitters

Finally, I did have these all in my purge box and was going to get rid of them out of hand, but I felt like I should just gut it out and swatch them. I was pleasantly surprised.

Baby Octopus

I think this is two coats, but probably three. It's pretty sparse. It's a holo glitter with large and small sizes mixed together. As a holo topper it's not bad, but not a full coverage polish.

Golden Seahorse

Pretty turquoise green packed with gold glitter. This is three coats and I love the coverage and formula. I can see why this was a really popular, it's a perfect combination of color and glitter in one bottle.

Heiress

Three coats, deep purple glitter of small and micro size. Almost complete coverage, but not entirely. I love this shade and the color makes it a win for me. 

Ocean Sparkles

Blue shimmer with a light mix of iridescent glitter.

This one was a total surprise when I put it on, I mean this is three coats and I couldn't see it doing much building, so I popped it over navy blue. 

Much better! A pretty topper, indeed. The blue shimmer really comes out. Pretty much can bung this baby over anything and get a pretty little shimmer/glitter combo.

Pretty Jellyfish

Very similar to Ocean Sparkles inasmuch as the base is a shimmer, but it's a in between that and Golden Seahorse: some better coverage, but really more of a topper. At three coats, it seems like it's job is over something else. Pretty purple and silver glitter.

Sparkling Fuchsia

Perhaps the most beautiful of the bunch. Three coats and no complaints. I love a glitter like this, I have posted about full coverage version of this, but I don't mind a back up and a more "topper" oriented polish.

More soon!
