Goood morning!! I was hot on the trail of one polish the other day when I came across the most delicious looking L'Oreal display, the Electric Fantasie/Project Runway Fall 2012 collection. The collection's divided into four different subsets, each vibrant and unique, and each representing a different fairytale persona-- the Temptress, the Queen, the Mystic, and the Muse. Each subset contains two different polishes. I showed tremendous restraint and chose three, The Temptress' Power (more on that name in a minute), The Mystic's Future, and The Muse's Attitude.
This is The Temptress' Power, or so it says on the bottle. Everything on the internet says this one is Temptress' Touch, so the batch at my local Rite Aid may very well be mislabeled. Rest assured it's from the Temptress collection. This one's a regal honey gold with a pale green iridescence. It's thin and sheer, but fun and understated. I used three coats.
This beauty is The Muse's Attitude, my favorite of the bunch. Many polishes claim to be peacock blue, or green, but this one truly is, to my eye. This one's a dark, iridescent teal with monochromatic shimmer, absolutely striking and gorgeous on the nail. The formula's as good as L'Oreal gets, perfect in two coats.
This is The Mystic's Future, an effervescent metallic fuschia with silver shimmer. It reminds me a little of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Burgundy Orchid without the wild multichrome. Not a bad thing at all. In fact, it's quite the gorgeous little number, and at a better price point and availability, will be a great stand in for some stuff I wanted to try with my precioussss Prism. The Mystic's Future went on as nicely as The Muse's Attitude, beautiful in two coats.
The only place I've seen this collection so far is Rite Aid, but apparently it's been spotted at various Walgreens around the US. These polishes retail for $5.99.
Thanks for reading, and have a loverly day. :)
I really like all three of these! They are beautiful! Especially The Temptress' Power!
ReplyDeleteI feel like they're kind of cool and unexpected for fall, too, like when someone does some dark colors for summer, a la Zoya Carly.
DeleteBeen waiting to see these swatches and boy do they pan out. Actually I'm really digging the first one for some reason.
ReplyDeleteYou know, the only one I'm really in love with is the teal. The others are very pretty, but I didn't find this collection particularly inspired or anything, know what I mean?
DeleteWell the pink especially isn't anything unique. I'm probably drawn to the first because i don't own anything like it (being that I own maybe two nudes). The teal is SUPER pretty but it looks a bit like Butter London Bluey. I'm tempted to go pick it up to compare.
DeleteYou should! The Muse's Attitude looks greener to me right away, based solely on photos.
DeleteOh man......I hardly ever go to my Rite Aid for this very reason LOL! Muse's Attitude is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteIf you only get one, I'd say that's it :) It's gorgeous.
DeleteOooh all three are gorgeous! They're exactly the sort of colors I love: rich, bright and vibrant! :-)

I feel like they're awesome transitional colors. Rich, bright, and vibrant, like you say, but not exactly summer shades. Perfect Indian summer colors.
DeleteWoo! I love The Muses Attitude!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's my favorite, too.
DeleteOh wow I love The Muse's Attitude! This collection looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteMuse's Attitude is gorgie. And it is a fun collection. :)
DeleteLove these! Why oh why do you keep doing this to me? I need to get some of these L'oreals you speak about:)
ReplyDeleteTee hee, you do! ;D Remember when I thought you should stalk your Target for Tangerine Crush? ;)
Deleteyes, and I did get Tangerine Crush. I have that and Eiffel for You and love both of them. :)
DeleteHonestly, the most unique colors are the Temptress polishes. I thought Muse's Attitude looked like Essie Dive Bar, but they're similar in finish, only. Based only on what I've seen in Trophy wife swatches, I'd say this one's darker and greener. And thanks, sweets :)
ReplyDeleteOh, poo!! A Rite Aid collection?? *sigh* no Rite Aid for me. I haven't been that excited about many L'Oreal polishes as of late, but I really love these colors. They are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't exclusive to Rite Aid. I've heard reports of it being seen in Walgreens, but the ones in my area don't seem to get anything early, or even on time, lol.
DeleteThey're pretty but I like them better in the bottle than on the nails.
ReplyDeleteI mostly agree, except for the teal one. I'm wearing that one right now and it's rockin' my socks a little. ;)
DeleteI thought I would have a favourite but I love all 3 of them for different reasons! Soo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI keep going on about the teal one, but I'm really starting to dig the purple, as well <3 It's on my toes right now. :)
DeleteThese are all really gorgeous in the bottle, but I think the teal is the best on the nail, followed by Temptress's Touch/Power.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteGive me that Mystic Future..!!!!
ReplyDeletePurple is my weakness.
You'd rock this one, Lizzy.
DeleteI am so glad I picked up Muses Attitude, it looks so amazing on you! I love the name of it too! Great swatches!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Iggy, it remains my favorite! :)
