It’s hump day peeps! Today I want to show you some seriously killer new polishes from LA Girl. These are from their Rock Star collection and there are 16 in total. I have the darkest, vampiest ones for you today in Part I of a three part series!

LA Girl is a cosmetics line that comes from the company Beauty 21 Cosmetics. They started in 1985 and carry a wide range of very affordable cosmetics from nail polish to eye liner to body glitter. They have been declared “Cruelty Free” by PETA as well, which means they do not test on animals, so yahoo!

The formula on all of these was really nice. Not too thick or runny and nice shaped brushes. I had no issues with any of these and I used three coats on all for maximum color payoff.

Sephora has recently come out with a line of mini nail polishes and included in their new collection are some metallics. The formula on these was kind of hit or miss. Some were great but some seemed thick and almost stringy. However all the colors I tried turned out to be pretty great colors! I must say I loathe mini bottles, I find them useless to be honest. They are hard to hold, the wands are so short that it makes the application that much more difficult. Plus two of these I loved so much I want FULL bottles! Are you listening Sephora?

Fusion is a really cool gold metallic that looks like my nails were dipped in gold leaf or something. This one was thick and stringy but the color was great nonetheless. This was only two coats as it’s pretty opaque.

BB Couture has some really great new colors out and I think everyone can find at least one or two that they will like! I’m still DYING to see the new greens which should be coming out soon also and will keep you posted on those. For these pics I went in order of my least favorite to most favorite. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Catalina Cutie was my least favorite of the bunch because coral just doesn’t look good on me (clothing, lipstick, nails, etc.). However the color itself is really pretty in general. Like I said the base is coral and the jelly finish is infused with tiny green and gold glitter particles. It’s a wee bit sheer, this is three coats and you can still see my nails underneath.

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I first heard that Nubar was coming out with a whole collection of purples! The Cleopatra collection for spring 2009 is really an awesome collection as a whole. There were a couple that didn’t really work for me personally, but overall I am really loving this collection. There was only one that had a strange application issue and I have noted that below. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Sphinx Purple is one of the ones that’s a really pretty color, but just didn’t particularly work for me. I would call this a jewel toned pink/purple shimmer and it has blueish undertones. It wasn’t sheer so you could get away with two coats, but I did three anyway.
