L'Oreal - Resist & Shine 187

Well, I'm back again from my little break up in northern NSW and it feels like the rain's been following me everywhere for the past week!!  Never mind, a change of scenery is always refreshing and the company was fun.

Now onto the nails - I've been wearing lots of summery brights over the past week.  L'Oreal's 187 is a very fruity orange creme and the truest shade of orange in my collection.  Orange is having a moment in our southern summer fashion scene so I was really looking forward to rocking this polish but it was a bit of a disaster as it decided to bubble as soon as I applied my OPI RapiDry topcoat!!! I had to apply three coats of topcoat to try and rescue it for the sake of the pictures.  It's a fabulous colour but frustrating:

Full sun


Shade

I'll wear this again with a different top coat to see if it makes a difference to the bubbling issue.

That's all for now.

    This looks so good! I knew I should have picked the new L'Oreal nail colours up >.< Did you get any of the other colours?

      187 was the only one I got as a freebie with a L'Oreal lipgloss. There was another turquoise blue creme I also had my eye on!

      Thanks Maria:) Maybe it wasn't the topcoat??? I'm thinking I might have rushed the mani so that's why the bubbles? I can't blame it on the OPI topcoat cos it's my fave and the one I use in 9 out of 10 mani's!!!

    Shame about the bubbles! Still looks lovely though. Oddly wearable for an orange :)

      Yeah - I really DID love the colour - how annoying about the formula! I haven't given up on this yet...

    I also have that problem! That's very inusual for me, it's very hard that polishes make bubbles on my nails...
