LA Splash - Love Notes Collection

Are you getting excited for Valentine's Day? If you are like me and love pretty and glittery things, then you will love the LA Splash's Love Notes Collection! There are 6 glittery polishes each holding tiny heart decals inside and 5 glitter dust pots each holding tiny heart decals too! The polishes and glitters are packed with different tints of pink, red and white glitters - classic Valentine's Day colors. You can use these polishes alone or on top of your favorite nail color. I did a few different swatches for you guys and I hope you all enjoy these as much as I have. I want to go get the whole collection after playing with these polishes and glitter dusts. (note: Psychedelic is not part of the Love Notes Collection, but it is a fun color and I think it looks pretty with the collection)

Here are the LA Splash polishes and glitter dusts I used:

LA Splash Nail Polish - Be Mine
LA Splash Nail Polish - Sweet Heart
LA Splash Nail Art Glitter - Red Heart Spangle
LA Splash Nail Art Glitter - Psychedelic

LA Splash Nail Polish - Be Mine
LA Splash Nail Polish - Sweet Heart

LA Splash Nail Art Glitter - Red Heart Spangle
LA Splash Nail Art Glitter - Psychedelic

I thought it would be fun to show how you can use these polishes and glitter dusts, so I grabbed a few of my own polishes I had. I chose an opal color for a more classy look, a hot pink color for a more chic look, and a black color for a more edgy look:

CQ Nail Polish - Night
Milani Nail Lacquer - Hot Pink
Sally Hansen - Diamond Strength - Platinum

Here are some different ways to use the Love Notes polishes and glitter dusts:


Index nail: Be Mine Middle nail: Be Mine on Platinum Ring nail: Be Mine on Hot Pink Pinky nail: Be Mine on Night Thumb nail: Red Heart Spangle

Index nail: Sweet Heart
Middle nail: Sweet Heart on Platinum
Ring nail: Sweet Heart on Hot Pink
Pinky nail: Sweet Heart on Night
Thumb nail: Psychedelic

I really like these polishes, the polish itself is quite thick which is good because it holds on to the glitter and hearts very well, i was originally worried the heart decals wouldn't hold to my nails, but I was pleasantly surprised. I also like how the base nail color can show through the Love Notes polishes, giving your nails a completely different feel from just using the Love Notes on their own. The only thing I dislike about these polishes is that you have to spend a little more time fishing out the heart decals from the bottle, but once you get them onto your nails, it's all worth it! I recommend these polishes to people who like to dazzle their nails with pretty glitters and decals, and for people looking for a little umph to jazz up their Valentine's Day outfit!
