It has been quite a while since I blogged; hopefully I can set up a blogging/recording schedule & get everything back on track. Anywhooo! This post is on the NEW L'Oreal Spring 2013 polishes. I've had these babies {along with matching balms} for about a month & I'm just now getting around the swatching them. Just a FOREWARNING: HEAVILY PICTURE LADEN.
There are 6 of these babies! From Left to Right: Creme Puffs, Royally Yours, Pistachio Dream, Lacey Lilac, The Palace Life, & Macaroon Me Really. The names don't really even have anything to do with Spring, nor do they make a lick of sense {at least to me} but that is neither here or there.
Creme Puff: 4 Coats. No undies or top coat.
Royally Yours: 2 Coats. No undies or top coat.
Pistachio Dream: 3 Coats. No undies or top coat.
Lacey Lilac: 2 Coats. No undies or top coat.
The Palace Life: 2 Coats. No undies or top coat.
Macaroon Me Really: 2 Coats. No undies or top coat.
So the application is a bit... meh. Spotty at best. I always do thin-medium coats no matter what type of nail polish I use. "Creme Puff" by far was the hardest to work with. Even after 4 coats it was still streaky & it was very sheer even after 2 coats. Definitely not my favorite of the bunch - but then again, I'm starting to realize the butter yellow polishes don't look so good on me.
If you look closely at "Macaroon Me Really" you can still see a bit of streaks... & that was 2 thin coats. It probably could've used another coat for a nice even finish but after taking on & off polish 5 times, I got fed up by the time I did this color.
The formula seems a bit runny in the "Lacey Lilac" but it still did a nice even coating as opposed to the other 5 that had a slightly {& when I say slightly, I meant slightly} thicker formulation.
I found these babies at Target for about $5.50ish each but I'm sure you can find them at your local drugstore as well; I'm not sure if Walmart has these. I haven't looked since I found these at Target - like I said, a month ago.
Do you have these colors? What do you think of them? Would you purchase them if you found them? Hope this review & swatches were helpful.
xox.
