So I have to admit I’m a bit of a nail polish snob. I usually gravitate towards Essie, OPI and now China Glaze (apparently a West Coast brand) too. However, a few Target trips ago, I noticed a display of some fun L’Oreal colors. I’m not sure if they’re new, or have new packaging, but they really caught my eye. A few Target trips later I just couldn’t resist and I picked up Violet Vixen for $4.99.

I love the packaging and brush, and the formula covers well in just two coats. Violet Vixen is a great spring transition color (because now that the holidays are over it’s almost Spring, right?). It’s bright and fun but not too pastel-ey.

The only thing I’d change about this color is the name. Violet Vixen makes me think purple, while this is more on the reddish, pink- purple side. How about Fierce Fuschia, L’Oreal?
