L.A. Girl is a cruelty free beauty company that specializes in beauty products for all, designed to be affordable to everyone.

I like price-accessible nail polishes because whether you’re a novice or a professional, you still have to watch your expenses.

Thankfully, our readers also like accessible beauty, so we’re featuring more and more of it.

Aside from being affordable, L.A. Girl makes some pretty cool nail products. They have classy nudes, bright neons, metallics, glow-in-the-dark, toppers and press-ons.

In this post, we’re sharing with you 2 colors from the now discontinued L.A. Girl Liquid Chrome Collection.

The Liquid Chrome Collection was an 8-piece collection, featuring foil-like, mirror-like finishes.

When you apply these polishes, you may see streaks, but these polishes dry to a smooth finish.

They maintain their smoothest finish without a top coat, and while you can add a top coat, depending on your choice of top coat, it can disrupt the way the light reflects.

The first swatch, Electric Blue, is shown without a top coat so you can see how smooth it is on its own.

The second swatch, Gunmetal Gray, is shown with a top coat, which gives you an idea of how adding a clear coat can disrupt how the light interacts with the chrome.

I really enjoyed applying these colors. The smoothness of the chrome is really pretty and both of these polishes have a really great shine.

Below you’ll find swatches of Electric Blue, followed by swatches of Gunmetal Gray:

Is there metal in chrome polish?

Yes! These polishes contain aluminum. 

Metallic polishes including those with chrome finishes contain some form of metal pigment. Chrome polish usually contains chrome powder and inside that powder is the metallic magic.

For best results applying the L.A. Girl Liquid Chrome polishes:

Apply your favorite L.A. Girl Base Coat.

Shake the bottle well before use to disperse the pigments.

Apply the pigment thin coats using long strokes, aiming to coat the length of the nail in a single stroke, before moving to the next section of the nail. Repeat 2x and for each hand.

Finish with your favorite L.A. Girl Top Coat.

All in all, the Liquid Chrome line is perfect for achieving a mirror-like finish.

Best of all, it’s a quick drying formula so if you’re looking for metallic polishes, this is a line to consider.
