L.A. Colors is a nail polish brand you can frequently find at retail stores like Walmart.

A bottle of L.A. Colors nail polish will usually run 80-90% less than some of the higher end drug store nail polishes - but don’t let the low prices make you think it’s not an effective brand.

L.A. Colors frequently releases experimental new nail polish lines that are both fun and playful. 

Their price point allows you greater freedom to test out new, trendy effects without a huge outlay of cash.

Their nail polishes can be a great way to dip your toes into a trend while still making progress on your other financial goals.

In addition, some of the colors we’ve tested from L.A. Colors have wear times that outlast the more expensive brands!

You can really get more bang for your buck with L.A. Colors nail polishes.

The brush on all L.A. Colors bottles is a little chunkier than other brushes on the market and it can take some time to learn to use, but other than that, the formulas of L.A. Colors themselves are worth a second look.

One collection from L.A. Colors that had us overlook the chunky brush and linger in the Walmart nail polish aisle a little longer than usual is the Mermaid Magic Collection.

This is a collection of shimmering shades that all come with a pretty iridescent pink, blue and aqua green cap.

Below you will find swatches of two colors, Sea Life and Hidden Treasure, from the Mermaid Magic Collection:

L.A. Colors Sea Life

Shown in 2 coats and under daylight LED bulbs.

Sea Life is an iridescent sea foam green that shimmers beautifully in the sunlight. Sea Life truly sparkles like tropical water on a clear, sunny day.

L.A. Colors Hidden Treasure

Shown in 3 coats, Hidden Treasure is a holographic sheer rose gold that is really sparkly, especially in the sunlight.

To demonstrate this, the first photo above shows it in indoor LED sunlight bulbs (top). The bottom two photos show it in full outdoor sunlight.

There is so much scattered rainbow holo in this polish, it’s very eye-catching when worn outdoors.

Hidden Treasure is a polish that definitely sparks joy and would be a great one to wear on a beach vacation in lieu of jewelry, as it adds so much pleasant sparkle to your overall look.
