L'Oreal Masked Affair

Okay, I'm joining the ranks and posting my swatches of L'Oreal's Masked Affair. I found this in Rite Aide back in December and finally got it on my fingers!

Masked Affair is from the Dark Side of Grey collection that's obviously been inspired by the up coming Fifty Shades of Grey movie release.  It's also a pale lavender holo!  A holo from a mainstream brand is always exciting.  The holo on this reminds me of the scattered holo used in the China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection.

Application on this is nice, but be sure to let it dry between layers or it may drag a bit.

This is 3 coats.

L'Oreal Sexy in Sequins

My CVS is always a little late with the new collections and it always seems like someone has completely raided the polish section.  Every thing is always in the wrong place and this time there was literally 5 Essies in the display.  Get it together guys!

Anyways, I finally found what L'Oreal calls Gold Dust polishes (their version of Liquid Sand) and bought Sexy in Sequins.  Its a dark purple texture with lots of micro gold holo glitter and larger silver glitters.  It's gorgeous with and without top coat.

Like a lot of these textured polishes, it was a bit on the thick side, but was manageable.  If you want to wear it shiny, you'll need 2 coats of thick topcoat.  I used one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite

This is 2 coats of Sexy in Sequins.  No top coat.

With Gelous and Seche Vite.

L'Oreal Star Magnet in Prune

Today I decided to wear on of my Star Magnet polishes in Prune.  I tracked these down about a year ago as a substitute to the Lancome Le Magnetiques that I missed out on.

This polish has magnetic particles in it.  You paint your nails with the polish and while still wet, hold it up to the magnet that comes with the bottle for about 30 seconds.  After, you come out with a beautiful star like pattern on the nail.
 

With the magnet it comes with (sometimes if you get your nail too close to the magnet, it will pull the polish toward it):

 ETA:  This polish was exclusive to the UK and is discontinued.  I bought mine a year ago from ebay uk.
