LA Colors' Pink Sizzle Swatch and the Quilting Technique

 So while I was at Dollar General grabbing Spring, I also had to grab Pink Sizzle. I mean, how amazing is this?? It's a purplish-rose that is just GORGEOUS.

It's another 3-coater, but the results are well worth the wait.







On the accent nails, I did the "quilting" technique. Basically,  you wait until the surface of the nail polish is wet, and then use flossers to press the criss-crosses into the tacky polish. Voila! Quilted!

I have a lot of other things I'd like to try with this technique!

L.A. Colors' Bloom swatch!

So here I was, minding my own business, walking about Dollar General, when I spotted Bloom. I normally don't go for pinks, but OMG I'm in love!
It's such a soft, elegant pink, and a beautiful creme.



So this is definitely a three-coater, if not wanting for four coats. Like most of L.A. Colors' formulas, it's very streaky and thin. It ends in a beautiful satin finish.
