LA Colors - Atomic and Nfu Oh 54

Atomic is a pretty teal jelly.  Nfu Oh is a green-blue flake in a clear base.

This is two coats of Atomic.

If I were going to wear this alone I would use another coat.  I intended to layer Nfu Oh 54 over it so I didn't bother.  Atomic is a vibrant teal that dries shiny and is just short of neon.

Here is two coats of 54, layered on top of Atomic.

Basecoat:  NailTek Foundation II (2 coats)
Color:  LA Colors Atomic (2 coats)
Color:  Nfu Oh 54 (2 coats)
Topcoat:  David (1 coat)

Application for both colors was really good.  Atomic was smooth and flowed nicely.  54 applied like my other Nfu Oh flakes - a little jelly-like in consistency, but that makes it easier to apply and get even flake distribution.  Overall this is a really pretty combination and I will definitely be wearing this again.

LA Colors - Nuclear Energy and Touch-up Paint Tourmaline

I wore this Friday and Saturday.

Tourmaline is one of the oldest polishes in my stash.  I am pretty sure I bought it at the front counter of Sally's years ago.  My bottle is about halfway full now.  When I was swatching Misa Embroidered Emerald it reminded me of Tourmaline, so I felt like wearing it.  I am trying to conserve it, so I wore it over a purple untried.

LA Colors Nuclear Energy is a purple jelly.

Basecoat:  Salon Sciences Fiberglass Network (2 coats)
Color:  LA Colors Nuclear Energy (3 coats)

I didn't use a topcoat here and I wasn't too careful about my application, since I already knew I was wearing something over it.  This is a really pretty purple jelly.  I think I would wear it again on its own.  Application was decent - it was on the thin side, but I didn't have any problems with runniness.

Here is my sad bottle of Tourmaline.  It is a purple/green duochrome shimmer, and the duochrome is extremely strong.  I can remember wearing this on its own but it took a lot of coats.  Using a purple underneath this made it lean a lot more purple at a glance, too.

This is two coats of Tourmaline and one coat of David topcoat on top of Nuclear Energy.

How gorgeous is this?  It made me happy every time I looked at it.

Also, if you think you saw this on the MUA nail board, you did - I posted this there last week.

I'm working on a couple of scheduled posts - even though I'll have several opportunities to change my polish this week, I think spacing out posts will help me during the weeks I don't have time to change it - there should still be new posts.

L.A. Colors - Magnetic Force

Today I have L.A. Colors Magnetic Force. I picked this up at a Dollar Tree. I noticed as I was taking these out of the package that there are no labels on the bottles, so I hacked it:

Magnetic Force is a coral color with gold shimmer. I had a hard time capturing both the color and the shimmer.
Basecoat: Salon Sciences Fiberglass Network (1 coat)
Color: L.A. Colors Magnetic Force (3 coats)
Topcoat: Seche Vite (1 coat)

Here are some miscellaneous photos where I tried to capture the color and the shimmer:

Application for Magnetic Force was very, very nice. This was almost a two coater. The gold shimmer reminds me a lot of a coral Custom Kicks. Consistency was a tad on the thick side but it wasn't too bad at all.

I picked up a few others from this collection at the same time I picked up Magnetic Force. I hope the other polishes are are as pretty as this one!

Have a great day!
