LA Colors - Amethyst & Tease

My great friend Jackie gifted me with some polishes that she got for a great deal. Something like half off the Dollar Store price.... These 2 pretties are what I have swatched for you today.

Amethyst
Pictured is 3 thin coats. Applied evenly, but I've definitely had polishes of higher quality. I was hoping the deep berry base color would show on the nail, but it's simply too sheer. Perhaps it would do best layered over a dark base?
Lots of fun glittery bits in this close bottle shot.


 
Tease
This is a fun coral/pink with a slight pink/purple shimmer, but the shimmer is not very noticeable on the nail.
Pictured is 3 thin coats. Dry time was average, but it had a strange semi-matte finish to it once it dried. Top coat is pictured.

Previous times that I had gotten LA Colors polish, they didn't have labels on the bottom to show the color.... Perhaps this is a new thing? If so, I'm happy! The old ones I have just had it written on the outer packaging and when it was gone, it was long gone unless you made your own label.

Pink Glitter Franken

This is a franken I made up recently. I was inspired to make something similar to Lippmann's Glitter in the Air & Candy Shop. The way the sheer polish melds with glitter. I love the pink polish of Essie Luxeffects A Cut Above, and I recently found a Forever 21 dupe. So for $2.80 a franken was born. Lol. I also had a large silver glitter polish from LA Colors that I've lost the name of (why don't they just pick a sticker on the bottle like the rest of the world?) I mixed 1/4 of each of these glitters and added Orly Pink Slip, which is a sheer pink french manicure polish.
This is 3 coats. I would like the larger glitters to show up more. I have enough room left in the bottle, so I'll tweak it a bit by adding more glitter. 
 What do you think? I really like it! 
A sheer pink with large pink and silver glitters and a scattering of fine silver and pink glitter.
Now it just needs a name. Any suggestions?
