Hello lovelies — Happy Snowy Sunday!
You’ll excuse me if I’m late getting this post up. It was a very busy week, with so much to do (& I’m nowhere close to being ready for Christmas!) But, I do have a brand new polish for you to enjoy as part of this week’s Swatch Sunday — this is LA Colors Metal Finish Nail Polish in Dynasty.
2 coats + top coat.
I won’t lie… when I initially picked up this polish I thought it was supposed to be a more chrome like finish like the cap of the nail polish bottle. But the colour to me is screaming old fashioned jewel toned Christmas, so even though it wasn’t exactly as I expected it it’s such a pretty shade for this time of year.
The formula on this shade was interesting as again it wasn’t quite was I was expecting. It was more of a cruelly base with beautiful shimmers packed in. The pretty flakes of glitter does give a jewel like effect.
First coat was very thin, streaky & patchy, but upon my second coat you could see how lovely it looked. I did have a couple places where it was tricky to get a smooth line though — the formula dries quickly, so I feel like you need to be quick with application. This isn’t to knock on the polish, just is good to know when you’re using it! Still doesn’t take away from how I feel about this shade.
Upclose, you can see that cruelly formula & metallic flake polish. Definitely not what I’m expecting when I think of a metal finish polish — but very pretty. Looking at swatches of other LA Colors Metals polishes though, I would have loved to see a foil finish in this colour. It would have been gorgeous!
I picked up my bottle of LA Colors Metal Nail Polish at my local Walmart for $3.97 CAD. For a shade under $4, I think this is a great deal! & regardless of it not meeting my metal expectations, this shade is very different than a lot of the red nail polishes that I own. So I love that.
What do you think of LA Colors Metal Finish Nail Polish in Dynasty? Do you think this is a great holiday polish option? What do you think of the finish — does it say “Metal Finish” to you? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

This is truly stunning on your skin tone! I agree, it’s not “metallic” like I think of metallics, but it’s still gorgeous in it’s own right.
Have a great week! (And don’t feel bad – you aren’t the only one that isn’t “ready” for Christmas! I’m not even sure who I have and have not gotten gifts for so far! LOL)
Blessings,

Thank you lovely! It’s definitely gorgeous for sure.
& I’m so glad I’m not the only one not ready! ❤️❤️ I hope you have the best week.
Thank you so, so kindly. 💖 (P.S. – I said “screw it” to a few “more important” things this weekend – laundry not included- and did some baking for our neighbors. The look on our elderly bachelor neighbor’s face when we knocked on his door and gave it to him made both of us so happy… so I’m not entirely mad I’m “behind” because perhaps those other things weren’t “more important” after all. 🥰)
Blessings & big hugs,
