She travels to my city twice a year and we meet up each time. Our most recent meet up was on Mother's Day weekend and she brought this beauty to me! Wasn't that sweet?
I was so excited to have it in my hands and finally get to try it out! And ya'll..... Words just cannot express how impressed I am with this polish!
The base color is a very pale smokey lavender, difficult to see on camera but it's there and so beautiful! Next is the holographic effect. This is probably considered scattered, but I could definitely see a rainbow bend when the light hits it, not as pronounced as something like Chanel Holographic, but very beautiful. When I hit this polish with the LED on my cell phone, it had the depth of an opal or perhaps real pearls. So shimmery and colorful and just...wow guys!

I wore two coats with topcoat for the photos, but really I could not capture it's beauty as seen in person.
If you have the chance to get Masked Affair, you'll be glad you did!
So neat to see a drugstore come out with such an awesome polish!
ReplyDeleteRight?! I think so too!
DeleteThis polish was so popular and so hunted, as it was (extreme) limited edition and not available outside the States, that inevitably, there was a backlash of nay-sayers to it. I say Post! to them. This is one of the most beautiful polishes. I know some people are saying aEngland Princess Tears is a dupe, with better formula. I don't think so - very close but PT doesn't have the color that MA has. And all the other 'dupes' have too much color. This polish stands alone as fantastic! I do really wish that L'Oreal would release it as a core color, or at least make it more available.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, lol, that would be "Posh! to them". :)
