L'Oreal Le Pastille & Sweet Lilac Spots & Dots Nail Art

Hey lacquer ladies,

I have some very simple nail art for you today inspired by the recent spring collection 2014 from L'Oreal.  Every time spring rolls around I will actively seek out the L'Oreal polishes as I think they do an exceptional job every year capturing the colors that I most associate with the springtime.  I wasn't able to find all of the polishes, but the ones I did find were utterly gorgeous so I wanted relatively simple nail art to capture their aesthetic.

Le Pastille is this lavender/gray polish filled with black speckles unsurprisingly given the name.  I love how delicate this polish is given how jam packed it is with black matte glitter.  However because it is so chocked full of lovely in a pale base patience is required during application to reduce drag.  It was opaque in 3 coats.

Sweet Lilac is a straightforward pale pale lavender polish.  It's so delicate and wispy it reminds me of the first buds of cherry blossoms seen around DC which aren't pink but instead almost a pale blushing lavender leaning toward white.  I used this polish to top Le Pastille and using Nail Vinyls created horizontal stripes.  I then accented the stripped nails with color coordinating studs from Pueen Cosmetics.  Finally, I mattified the whole shebang to create the final product.

So what do you think?  This is very simple especially for me.  However, I loved how these polishes looked matte and the contrast of the gray and lavender colors.  This is one of those mani's where I wound up thinking, occasionally simplicity is lovely.  I hope you'll agree.  Thanks so much for reading and see you next post!
