L'Oreal Nail Color - Perfect for Summertime


 
Time to break out the cute and bright colored nail polishes this summer! I am quilty of putting bright colors away to save until it is 3 digit temps outside but for the past 2 yrs or so I've just been wearing what-evs. Well, getting around to actually doing my nails is a big accomplishment for me, with 2 boys and 2 babies running around in my house! These beaute's are from L'Oreal of the Colour Riche line and I got to tell ya, the formula is amazing and the color selection is pretty nifty.
 
I have 3 bright colors and a golden color, I love golden colors, or bronzey types with lots of shimmer
 
Left to Right:
Orange you Jealous
Royalty Reinvented
Not a Cloud in the Sky
Because you're Worth it
 
All colors are crèmes with the exception of Because you're Worth it which has a beautiful frost and shimmer. Orange you Jealous I would describe as a beautiful melon color with mostly hints of pink, it is not overly orange nor neon, it has the perfect amount of melon and pink. Royalty Reinvented is the perfect medium lavender, it's definitely not too pastel nor too grape. Not a Cloud in the Sky is a pretty light turquoise somewhat similar to China Glaze's For Audrey but is more on the greenish side. Because you're Worth it is a nice smooth gold with shimmer and a bit of frost. It is not chunky or rough. 

 
The color selection is absolutely the best, one of the best I've ever seen drugstore wise. I have yet to find a drugstore that offers very little colors, you can mostly find regular colors and the newest colors or limited colors out on the 'new arrivals' shelves.
 
You get 0.39 fl. oz. and depending where you buy you can spend in between $4 to $7 per bottle.
 
All the reasons why I love them:
 
Non-streaky
Long-lasting
Great color selection
Great formula
Color saturated
Affordable

Lali Amora Kiss Awards 2012 - Best Products of 2012

The year was absolutely amazing, the birth of my 4th child, the start of a new exciting career (being a full time stay at home mommy!) and the beginning of a new career for my hubby! Of course like always time flies and before you know it the new year has started and new goals and resolutions are being made, but the most exciting of any beauty blogger's new year is the launch of new beauty products! From the start of a January wintertime After-Christmas sale to the December month hustle and bustle last days of Christmas, these are just a few of my faves from last year....
