L'OREAL


L'OREAL PARIS

Infallible Pastel Gel Nail Duo Colour
&
Color Riche Brights Trio

Swatches & Review!

L'Oreal Paris Pastel Duel Ended Gel Nail Lacquers!

This new range of L'Oreal nail polishes are so great because you really get everything you need all 
in one place! With the The pastel duel ended gel nail lacquers which have the base coat and the top 
coat all in one! The duel ended packaging houses the two polishes in each end which come out easily 
and look just like the regular Le Vernis L'Oreal polishes you can buy individually.
I have recently been loving my 3 new shades in #42 "Unlimited Lollipink", #40 "Marshmallow Power" and #43 "Endless Candyheart" which are all pastel light shades and oh so pretty! My favourite being the Unlimited Lollipink!


#42 Unlimited Lollipink

#40 Marshmallow Power

#43 Endless Candyheart

The gel formula is quite thick so I like to apply two thin coats over the clear base first. However one single thick coat will also work well and either way the polish dries super fast which is fantastic for such a thick formulation!
These also do not have a hugely potent nail varnish scent which is handy when getting in close for a nice neat finish or when you're doing nail art! Personally the scent of nail polish barely resonates with my nose, however I am thankful with these are the hubby and cat aren't big fans! 
These have a nice thin to medium shaped brush and the long cubed shade makes them easy to store. Alternatively you can also just pop them out of each end and store them with the rest of your Le Vernis polishes of the same size to keep your collection looking uniform.

Each retails for $12.95 each available at Priceline stores & online.


L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Brights!

On the opposite end of the colour wheel are these stunning new brights in the shades #240 Pop Corn,
#242 Pink O Pop and #241 Cloud Wow. Like the pastels above, these too have a pretty thick formula
making them knock you out right away with one simple coat of lacquer.

The bottles are a cute 5ml each making them scarily easy to collect and store without taking up a ton
of space! These are a great new addition to the regular shades and glitter top coats already available.

Each retail for only $3.98 each available at Priceline stores and online.

MIRACLE GEL


~  SALLY HANSEN  ~

Miracle Gel
Available in a total of 28+ gorgeous shades! (Shop!)

I have always been a bit (okay a lot) obsessed with nail polish even since I was a little girl.
Fast forward to my teens when I discovered nail polish came in glitter variations and the obsession
grew even more. 

Nail lacquer seems to be one beauty item that never goes out of fashion. Sure the shades change from
season to season and some like your classic red or pink stay year round. However the actual formula
of nail polish I feel has pretty much stayed the same and has taken a long time to evolve.

Moving forward into my early 30's and I welcome with open palms the evolution that is Gel manis!


Gel polish is still relatively new so just in case you're wondering what the difference actually is, let
me quickly bring you up to speed.

Gel polish is different because it dries faster, gives a more opaque colour and most importantly it lasts
about ten times longer than your average nail polish in a bottle.

I have only ever tried one other gel polish and even though I didn't mind it did require the use of an
LED light and heavy soaking of each nail to remove it. Not everybody has time for that, even if it
does last longer without chipping. (Including me!)

This is where Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel polish is different. 

It does not require any other fancy accessories to get the same results. It dries super fast out in the
open air and with just one coat appears to have had at least 2-3. (See pic below!)

Left to right! - Teal Twin, Blue Hue & Get It Bright!

Add the shiny clear top coat and you're good for up to two weeks (or longer depending on how much
work your hands/nails go through) without chipping or peeling.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is available to purchase in store at Priceline, K-Mart, Target, Coles,
Woolworths & Chemist Warehouse and has a current RRP for this 2 pack of - $19.95!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat - $16.95 (Shop!)
