Review: LA Girl 3D effects holographic nail polish.


I purchased this nail polish at Right Aid for $3.99 if i remember correctly. You can purchase it on LA Girl's website at this link: http://www.lagirlusa.com/3D-Effect-Nail-Polish-2893.html The colors I bought from left to right are teal dimension, black illusion, 3D silver, and sparkle ruby. There were only two other colors on the display at the store, a purple and an orange. however on their website they also offer a pink and a blue. The color I am wearing in the swatch is teal dimension.

I read about Holographic nail polish a few months ago and there are two types. One has holographic glitter particles dispersed through out the nail in such a way that it creates a rainbow effect, like an oil slick, when light reflects off of it. This is called linear holographic nail polish. The second type the glitter is dispersed randomly and kind of looks like a glowing mermaid tail glistening in the sun.  This polish is called scatter holographic.



As far as the one I am wearing, I believe it is the second type; However, the 3D silver color might be the first type. I have not had a chance to try this color yet.

The formula for these nail polishes is not as easy to work with, The brush picks up a lot of product at once so if you forget to wipe the brush on the rim of the bottle it can be a messy application. It does dry quickly and looks stunning in the sunlight once it is dry.

I do think this product is worth the price, even the 5 bucks it cost on the website. I wish there was a more appealing color range but I am happy that they had a black.

I give this product an 8 out of 10.
