REVIEW: LaROSA CRACKLE SHATTER POLISH

NAIL POLISH MONDAYS :] 
How was everyone's Monday? I love Mondays because I don't have to work, It's great to wake up and know you have the availability to sleep in a little bit more. I've been wanting to get the new O.P.I. black shatter polish, but it's impossible to find and I don't have much patients to wait for shipping unless I have to. So my first time visiting this Vietnamese nail supply store. I heard from my aunt that they sell awesome polishes for really cheap. So when I got there I was surprised to see their giant collection of O.P.I and China Glaze and other brands for around $3! The guy said they were completely sold out of the Shatter polish and the crackle, but he showed me a cheaper brand that works just as well with a variety of colors.
LA ROSA CRACKLE SHATTER POLISH


I decided on black and white to try out just because they're basic. And this works as a layering process so I figure they would be great for mixing and matching since black and white go with everything.These were $2 each. LA ROSA BRAND.

I also picked up two other colors. One from O.P.I.($3.50) and one from China Glaze. ($2.00) They had so many colors I couldn't decide, so I just grabbed these. 
 
China Glaze's "High Hopes" and O.P.I. "Do you lilac It?"
Step 1: After applying fingernail's base coast. I did a coat first of China Glaze.

Step 2: After the polish dried, I applied the Crackle Shatter in Deep Black. and it took less then ten seconds to crack and dry. I was amazed. I finished with a top coat.

Step 2: ROCK EM WITH CONFIDENCE! My mom thought there was something wrong with my nails,LOL. She liked them though. 

5 OUT OF 5
  for this stuff! There were so many colors and since they weer so cheap, I'd buy them all. See if you have nail supply stores around YOUR area! 

P.S. I snagged this little set for $6!
