Masked Affair! "Dun dun dun!" ;)

Well I did it. I was able to track down the beloved Masked Affair from Loreal! I am in Utah and found it at Smith's (Kroger or Fred Meyer depending where you are). 

It is beautiful! As you can see, (it was cold outside, thus the gloves on my hands,) it is a purple/sliver mix with a very fine holo. Awesome on its own, perfect for nail art-- perfect any way you want it! I'm tempted to just carry it around to look at it all day in different lighting! The photo below Is outside, partly cloudy weather. 

Here's a close-up of the color:

Isn't that awesome?!

Glitter Gradient!

Today during the boy's nap time I had some fun with nail art...... Which I'm surprised myself that I did that because usually I sleep the entire time they sleep! But today I had an itch to paint! This is what I came up with: 

The purple is "Flashing Lilac" by Loreal-- this was from their Summer 2014 Neon collection that was LE (limited edition) and I used 3 coats. The glitter is Essie's "Set in Stones" and I just dabbed it in starting at the free edge of the nail and dragging down a bit. I then top-coated using 2 coats of HK Girl by Glisten and Glow-- which is literally the best top coat in the universe! :) 

This shot isn't as "nice", but it does a good job of showing the true color of the purple.
