L'oreal: Masked Affair

I lusted for this polish and hunted high and low but never saw it in my local stores. Thank goodness for fairy angels like Connie, who snagged the last bottle for me at her local store!

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!

Barielle: Pillow Talk

I won this beautiful peachy nude polish in a giveaway a long time ago over at The Traceface Philes blog. It was in a set of several nude colored polishes which are all really pretty! The formula on these is fantastically smooth and creamy, like melty butter. I wore two coats with topcoat for the photos.

Neon Rainbow Water Marble Nail Art

I bought the A Night in Vegas neons from Pipe Dream Polish in October of last year and finally had an opportunity to use them to do a water marble. I chose a rainbow design and learned how to do it from a video by Yagala on Youtube. She gave some really great tips and her technique is great!

I have worn these since Friday and don't plan to remove them until I absolutely have to. I'm in love!

This is the second water marble I have ever done and I have to say I'm proud of it! Will you try water marbling?
