Swatch and Review: L'Oreal Masked Affair

TGIF! And in honor of the weekend, I have a VERY exciting swatch to share with you today. It appears that there is now officially a linear holographic polish that is available at drug stores and other national retailers!

And it comes from a very surprising source: L'Oreal!

Masked Affair was released as part of the Dark Sides of Grey Colour Riche collection, which I assume is in honor of the novel "50 Shades of Gray." But whatever the reason, I am incredibly excited that they did!

L'Oreal 701 Masked Affair is a silver linear holo with pinkish undertones.  I used three coats to achieve full opacity, but this dried INCREDIBLY quickly. I honestly could have gone about my day after fifteen minutes and not even remotely dinged it up.

The above photo was taken indoors without a top coat. Please continue to scroll for more indoor photos, a photo with top coat, and an outdoor shot.

I've FINALLY done it!

My name is Danielle. And I am a nail polish addict.

I'm also a college student, studying political science and Spanish. I love sports... baseball is my favorite. And I'm not afraid to make my nails match team colors, even if they are yellow and brown.

One thing you'll notice in posts to come is that I love glittery and sparkly nail polish, as well as rhinestones. I try to rock a jelly or creme every now and then just to make myself appear sane. Although, I personally believe that to be a lost cause.

I'll try to post about crazy hauls during clearance sales. I'll try to let you know when I find bargains at local retail chains, supercenters, drug stores, and other places. After all, my three favorite B's are bargains, beauty products, and baseball. Not necessarily in that order.


I hope you'll stick around and follow my nail exploits. We're going to have some fun.
