Today I have a Loreal polish from the new London Fall Collection. My first reaction when I saw this polish was - this is truly hideous. If I had a trench coat this color I'd throw it right in the trash or burn it, and that's saying a lot for a coat loving lady like myself! It reminds me of old dried out putty or mustard that lost its pizazz. Ew, ancient mustard?!? Hahaha so why the hell am I putting it up on my blog or better yet what on Earth possessed me to buy such a color? Well because for me this is the type of polish that falls into the realm of ugly-pretty. It's neutral, a great base for creating something unique, and because even though it looks like 10 year old putty even putty has its place in my world.

Plus let's face it I knew I had a secret agent up my sleeve. A hidden ace in the pocket, if you will, by the name of Sonoma Nail Art Bubble Room. Omo (basically Korean for OMG)! Suddenly ugly pretty was just pretty...

| Suddenly gorgeous right? TBH I felt The Perfect Trench should have originally had a golden microshimmer. |
And because I gotta do me I decided this mani was in dire need of arting up and a pretty paisley patterned stamp was calling my name.

Suddenly this manicure became so gorgeous to me! I'm in love with the monster I created how about you? Hehe this just goes to show you an ugly, albeit pretty, polish can't keep a good laquerista down. Thanks so much for reading and see you next post! Toodles...
LOVE the L'Oreal !!!! So my 'ugly' color !! And I'm so jealous of your Bubble Room, I could never get my hands on that !! Woooo and the stamping !! Love everything about this mani :)
ReplyDeleteV lol! This one was so hard for me. When I saw it on the display I had a 10 minute debate with myself before purchasing. I feel like it and Brit Invasion were the only colors that really stood out for me though one was missing. Yes Bubble room is spectacular thanks for your sweet words as always!
DeleteThis looks gorgeous on your skin!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really gorgeous color! I love how the bright pink pops so much on top of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you love! Yeah fast fuschia is quickly becoming one of my favorite stamping polishes. The Insta-Dri's are just insanely great for stamping!
DeleteOmo! *wink* I so do like ur stamping nail art! And the basic background color looks very cool too!
ReplyDeleteAlso I want to say thanQ for such sweet comments to me :)
