L'Oreal Colour Caresse Shine Stain Review

Hey everyone!
So I bought these L'Oreal Colour Caresse Shine Stain's while in Florida because I had heard such good things about them. Apparently they are incredibly similar to the Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain at about 1/3rd of the price. I bought two Shine Stains, so here is a review!

This is the packaging for the product, I think it's fairly average and don't have any complaints. I like the window that shows the product colour.

These are the colours I bought: 184 Rose On and On, and 188 Coral Tattoo

The applicator is very similar to the YSL Glossy Stain and I think it makes applying the product very easy.

The texture of the product is like nothing else I've ever used. It goes on very wet but eventually turns into a sticky layer before drying to a stain. It still looks glossy but it no longer feels wet. Some people may not like the texture but I think it's unique and doesn't bother me much at all.

This was the result after immediatley washing the swatches off of my hands. A bit of a pain, but proof that the stain sticks around which I know is very important to busy people!

Manicure Monday #1

Hey!
So I figured I need to blog more often, and why not begin with something easy like uploading a picture of my nails every Monday. Since I've just started this, I've actually kept pictures from the last couple of weeks to show you the colours I'm sporting. Also, just so you know, Essie is my favourite nail polish brand. I have a bit of a collection, and it's not healthy nor cheap. But anyway, my theory is that if I collect one nail polish brand I won't be tempted by other brands colours and my collection will always look neat and tidy. As you can tell I actually had to think of a reason to collect nail polish. Mostly I just like the formulation of Essie nail polishes, including base and top coats. So anyway, here is my first Manicure Monday post!

This is Essie's "Muchi Muchi", it's a pretty pale pink pastel colour.

This is Essie's "Tart Deco", a coral-y pink colour which I love for summer!

This is Essie's "Mod Square", a typical Barbie pink colour. I don't often reach for this colour but couldn't resist now its summer!

And finally Essie's "Stylenomics". It's not black, but a very dark green. As you can see it's not a very good summer colour but after all those pinks I needed a change!

Thanks for reading, I'll try to keep this updated every week so you can see what nail polish I'm loving!
