L'Oreal Owl's Night Review and Swatches

I found the latest L'Oreal colors for Fall at my local grocery store, so of course most of them came home with me.

In my opinion, the most interesting is Owl's Night. Various lighting photos:

This is a slightly blackened brown with loads of gold shimmer, which can trick the eye into seeing a flash of murky army green and bronze in certain light.  It's really an interesting color.  It goes on very nicely - great application.  My only issue with this one is tip wear.  It doesn't score big in that category, but I think the color is worth it.

I applied it around 11 pm, slept, showered, had breakfast and already the tip wear was noticeable.  So I layered on a coat of Nubar 2010.

Hello Fall!!!

Wet n Wild Craze Nocturnal and Joe Fresh Twilight

Well I pulled this one out for "black and/or blue" week and got a lil surprise! This is Wet n Wild Craze in Nocturnal and I really thought it was black.  Doesn't it look black here?

Well guess what!  It's a really, really dark teal blue.  Don't believe me?

Just look!

I didn't intend to wear it alone anyway - still not over my aversion to strictly black polish on my nails. And since it read black on me anyhow, I went ahead with the layering.  It was a little on the thick side, but application wasn't really bad.  I used two coats, but one would have sufficed, especially with the layering.

Twilight is a green flaky in a blackened base and as with most layering polishes, it's pretty thick to keep the flakies suspended. It could certainly be used alone though - it would be opaque in two coats for sure.

While this would look really good on a LOT of people, it was just a little too far outside my comfort zone and didn't stay on long.
