LA Girl Quicksand

LA Girl created a dupe for OPI's Liquid Sand, this Sand Blast nail polish applies like a normal polish, but dries with a matte, semi rough feeling (similar to how a nail file feels), I have this polish in a purple shade, I find the nail polish to be 'average' for the price, as it literally lasts only two days without chips, and I found the polish begins to smooth out at the tip of my nails after a few hours, plus you can't use a top coat because it spoils the effect. If you're willing to try the "sand blast" effect for a day or two, there is no harm in trying this polish because it is a fraction of the cost next to OPI's Liquid Sand.

This is how LA Girl describes this range:

3D Effects Hologram nail polish is made up of tiny holographic particles that create a spectacular 3D effect when applied to nails. Complemented by the vibrant colors available in this collection, these iridescent specks glisten and gleam, giving nails a brilliant holographic look.

This one is called Black Illusion, and is just stunning, it is a glossy black with what looks like gold dust in it. I love how easy it is to get interesting looking nails these days. This polish is extremely smooth, and two coats is perfection. It dries quickly too

The polish dries quickly, applies smoothly, and is highly pigmented. I applied two coats and look at the colour!
