It's NCLA, a Los Angeles Nail Lacquer and Nail Wraps brand!

The reason why I love this brand?
Cause they remind me of USA!
1. Products are made in USA
2. Designed and crafted in South California
3. The names are related to LA

Every single bit of the nail lacquer reminds me of USA! I miss Los Angeles so much!
I really wish I can go back there again! Any travel sponsorships? Lols.

Anyways back to the nail polishes =P

Time for a NCLA Nail Lacquer review?

The shade I picked was Santa Monica Shore Thing
I picked this because it reminds me of LA,
we went to Santa Monica for a couple of times when we were in LA!
And also because I love this shade!
P.S It's one of NLCA's best selling shade!

The color is not really mint green (photo of the bottle above), sadly.
It's similar to the background splash color in the photo above!
I was looking for a mint green color!
Nonetheless, when taken under strong lightings, it does look closer to mint green color.
And also it appears mint green/tiffany blue in photos. No idea why.

A very unique light green color.
Sort of reminds me of seaweed ;)

A normal brush, slightly more than 1/3 the size of a nail.

Color is more true to this photo.
Here's how it looks like with one coat (left) and two coats (right) on.
The nail polish is really thick and smooth.
It goes on really easily and dries quite quickly :)
Gives a really nice coverage with two coats on.

Conclusion: Will definitely get more of NCLA Nail Polishes!

Totally agree with this! Since I can't go to LA immediately, I shall use their Nail Lacquers!
Btw, they are famous for their pretty Nail Wraps too! Remember to checkout the SG shop here ;)
