Gosh guys, I am so sorry about how infrequent things are, but I am in the midst of taking a class that requires camping for five weeks at a time, so I guess I haven't been painting my nails too much. Anyways, I'm here to talk about a polish that I just tried for the first time and show you an accent nail to go with it. For some reason, the color scheme reminds me a little bit of the jewelry Pocahontas wears in the Disney movie of the same name.
First off, I want to state my opinion on the L'oreal brand in general. It's significantly more expensive than drugstore brands of the same relative quality, and seems to get pretty disappointing reviews on Makeupalley and other forum sites. For this reason, I tend not to buy it. My other L'oreal nail color is really streaky and awful, but I thought I would give it a second chance when I saw this bottle, which according to the name, was supposed to be a sky blue.
The color in the bottle does not match the color on the nails. If the sky turned this color, run. Also, the formula is about the same here as my other color, with 3 or 4 coats needed to make it opaque. It's a really, thin, runny polish, so have some q-tips handy for cleanup.
To make myself feel better, I did some accent nail art. I did one little stripe of Butter London's "Shag" down the nail and did two white stripes on each side. Then I connected the lines in little chevrons across the metallic stripe. The design is loosely based on a MissJenFabulous design.
