Starlight Nail Supply

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went in to buy a bunch of polish, 124 bottles to be exact. When I asked what kind of discount I could get she told me 20%. When she saw I was grabbing 2 of each color she changed her mind and said she wouldn’t give me the deal unless I bought 3 of each. Totally not what she said less then a min prior. This was while I was loading up a box of polishes. She was trying to tell me the ‘new’ price for 2 or more was cheaper than wholesale. I happen to know that it is not true. When I told her I will only buy 124 at the price she gave me or none at all she still wouldn’t honor the deal. She just said no to over $ 600 of sales. And was rude to boot. This is not the first time they have been incredibly rude to me. They have over charged from the price listed to the price rung up. They help with nothing and their customer service is for crap. Skyline has higher prices but it is worth it for the friendlier atmosphere and customer service. Plus they’re products are old and ill kept. This place will never get my money ever again. DO NOT SHOP HERE.

Horrible. I only came because Skyline was closed.
I had my kids with me. They were looking and touching, but very respectfully, not in a crazy rampage. The old man with glasses at the counter tried to insult me by telling me that my children «must not be taught any manners at home».
THEN he tried to overcharge me China Glaze which was clearly marked $ 2.75. He was ringing them up at $ 4 per bottle. I corrected him and he told me, no it’s $ 4. I told him to go look at his own sign. He comes back and tried to play it off, well it was $ 4 but for you I give $ 2.75. Don’t act like you’re doing me a favor!
Never have I been so insulted on so many levels. Never will I go back!

Went there today just to go look around and i must say good store to shop at lots of nail goodies

Not as nice as skyline, but prices are lower. Was there last week and picked up the new OPI collection. They only had 6 (of 12) coveted Hello Kitty Collection, but Skyline was completely wiped out. Come here 1^st and hit up Skyline later. It will save you some $.

They have a lot of stuff!!! the quality is okey but they ain’t worth the price, and I spend more than I think!

Prices slightly higher than Skyline but it’s cleaner, less smelly and better organized. Plus they have their own parking lot so that saves you money right there. Definately will be back

I liked that they have a parking lot, really convenient because it’s really hard to find parking in that area especially on a weekend. They have a bunch of nail supplies in there for a good price, although some of the nail polishes and care products were pretty old. I did like the selection of nail filers, clippers, nippers etc. What ruined my experience was a lady who worked there, didn’t even greet me and the whole time she was helping me out looked very grumpy and annoyed especially when I asked her to get me another pair of cuticle nippers because the pair she gave me wasn’t sharp at all. I brought my mom with me and after we paid she noticed that she got overcharged in her receipt and when she ask the lady to recalculate she did it but blamed a mistake on the register. I didn’t check my receipt right there, only after we left, however I was overcharged too. It was only 25 cents but when they add extra 25 or 50 cents to the total of many customers that makes difference. Do check your receipts!

Really disappointed in this place. I was excited to find starlight was right down the street from me. I purchased a nail polish and when I got home I opened it to notice it was clumpy and old. What a waste of money! I tried returning to the store to see if they would exchange it and the cashier pointed me to a SMALL sign at the bottom of the register that said «no returns». How convenient to place that tiny sign way below eye level when you sell bad product. Never again! Save your money people!

We took a little adventure to Chinatown just to come here and Skyline. We went to Skyline first but before I bought anything, I wanted to go see what Starlight had to offer and boy, was I disappointed.
Parking: Probably the only thing going for them. They have a private lot so you do not have to fight for street parking and then pay a meter. I should have gotten a hint of what’s inside based on their empty parking lot.
Selection: Probably the worst nail polish collection I have ever seen. Not only is there no new polishes or collections, all of the polishes looked dusty and like they had been sitting there for quite some time. Most of the polishes had separated like no one had touched them for awhile or maybe they were cut with something other than nail polish (something a lot of places do for some reason). The only major brands I saw in there were China Glaze and OPI.
Prices: The prices were actually pretty decent. If the nail polishes looked less gross, I would have been extremely happy to buy. Usually I am able to remember all the prices but it was not worth it. I did decide to buy one thing because I did not want to leave empty handed, but they would not let me use my debit card for $ 3. There is no sign stating that you have to spend a certain amount. Neither of us had cash, so we just left with nothing. As deserted as it looked, I think they should be a bit more lenient in order to make a sale.
Overall: I was pretty disappointed. I mean, this was half the reason we drove 30 minutes to Chinatown, and it was a complete let down. We went back to Skyline and picked from a way larger selection. I would recommend going around the corner to Skyline and finding newer polishes.

Good prices and pretty organized.
It was dirty but I already anticipated.

I love this place, this store has every thing i need to do my nail work, people there are very friendly and professional, i will be visiting every week for my products

This is my go to spot for my gel nail supplies. It’s a 15 min drive and easy to find free parking! In la that’s a big plus for me. There are two main reasons I don’t give this place 5 stars… They are never sure when they will be getting more of what’s out and they pick and choose when they feel like giving you a discount. Other than that I love this place they have a huge selection of gels! I always spend 30−45min here just making up my mind on what colors to pick. And I never leave without spending at least $ 40.

I bought a couple Essie nail polishes but forgot to check the swatches online so when I got home, the colors were very sheer. I was very disappointed b/​c I wasn’t sure was I able to return or exchange them. The selection for Essie was mostly pink and nude colors. I like their china glaze nail polish selection better and the colors were actually opaque when I used it. Very happy for $ 3.00 a bottle! There’s no hair dye or any salon brand hair products, just some combs and hair tools. I’ve been to better nail supply store and cheaper too but this one is okay! Definitely check it out if you’re around the area.

When I go to these type of nail supply places, they usually do not charge tax if paying by cash. The first time I came here (about 2 weeks ago) the lady didn’t charge tax since I was paying cash. She even gave me discounts on certain items and threw in some stuff for free and I didn’t even spend a million dollars. Despite negative reviews from fellow Unilocalers, I came back for more stuff because of my great first experience. This second experience was far different. I was charged tax for my items purchased by cash. When I inquired about the tax, the man and other lady told me they are required to charge tax and blah blah blah. I just stood there in disbelief and complained that this didn’t happen the last time I was here. Tax was only 2.87, but still… The lady said I could find something for 2.87 and call it even. I didn’t want anything else but rather than argue, I picked up a $ 3 bottle of China glaze. She said well that’s $ 3, but it’s okay… Seriously???
I’m giving 3 stars because they still have good prices on OPI, gel products AND they had the Gwen Stefani OPI polish, «over & over a-​gwen» I’ve been looking for BUT I prolly won’t go out of my way to come here again.
Maybe you’ll have better luck with the older heavier set lady than the other folks that run this joint.

Ok, so I’ve been to another nail supply store it was a great experience. I was hoping the same here.
The store opens at 9am according to the sign but nope, I went around 9:15a and the doors didn’t open until 9:30a. I was annoyed & I wasn’t the only one waiting outside.
The essie nail polish is 3.75 $ still very cheap but the selection is poor. O.P.I is 4.50 which is still a great price but I’ve seen a better price at another nail supply store. The China Glaze was ok, all dark heavy colors. They were 3.50 $ a bottle. The prices were good dont get me wrong but the selection options are horrible and there are several prices around and just sloppy so just pay attention to that. It took me a bit to realize what price was what.
I took a bottle of foot Crème but I couldn’t find the price of the bottle and then the worker there told me it was 12 $ and I changed me mind and he got annoyed, and said the price was on the shelf. I told him it wasn’t and the started to speak mandarin… yea it was rude. Just not organized well.
Point being is that I won’t go again, at least I tried it.

I was in and out of here with everything I needed in under 10 minutes. Not bad for a first time.
I grabbed several empty acetone bottles, nail tips, a jug of acetone, 20 nail files, and other miscellaneous nail stuffs.
The lady that helped me was ok. She greeted me and even took .20 off each of the nail files I bought without me having to ask or bargain. That was nice of her.
She confirmed that their prices online were the same as in store. Pretty good, I’ll keep this is mind if I have a large order and don’t feel like trekking to K-​Town. Since it’s online, there won’t be hook-​ups, but occasionally they’ll have online promotions. I’ll just have to pay the s&h in exchange for the convenience (it’s a 40 min drive one way).

I’m still looking for a mobile nail technician. There HAS to be someone who fills this niche in the market.
Please contact me.

OPI for $ 5.50. China Glaze and Essie for about $ 3.50 — can’t go wrong!
Tons of nail supplies for cheap, cheap cheap!

ever had that awkward feeling that someone is watching you? well the staff basically watches you the entire time you’re in the store. I understand that’s their job, but it can get annoying. I just get that uncomfortable feeling every time I come in this store, their service is horrible and every time I ask them «how much is this» they speak in Vietnamese… laugh…and tell me a price. I feel like I’m getting ripped off every time I’m in their store because I don’t know what they’re saying and they can price it at whatever they want.
They do have everything you would need for nail supplies. However, I just feel more comfortable buying my nail supplies at Hollywood Nail Supplies across the street and everything there is 50cents to a dollar cheaper there.

I’ve always done my own nails and never go out to get my nails done. So I have a ridiculous collection of nail polish because I figure going out to get it done= 2 bottles of nail polish even if I only get one or two nail polishes a week i’m saving money.
Anyways, I bring a friend who as obsessed with nail polish as I was and we just froze at the entrance because we didn’t even know where to start. We decided to go row by row and would scream «OMG LOOK WHAT THEY HAVE» across the store.
She got Hello Kitty decals and some nail polishes and I left with 2 OPIs for $ 4.50 each and a China Glaze for $ 3 i think. All mine were from recent collections. They don’t have much of a Essie selection. I am never buying my nail polishes full priced again.
