L'Oreal Does Texture: Color Riche Gold Dust Too Dimensional?

Hey everybody!  I hope you're doing great tonight. :)  Don't you love it when you need to make a trip to Rite Aid for something medicinal and peruse the cosmetics and find something you weren't expecting?  I had not known of the existence of a L'Oreal Gold Dust textured polish collection...but there it was, in all its glory, gleaming and sparkling and looking all luscious.  I wanted them AWL but picked out the one that had me written all over it (that would be weird-leaning unusual):  Too Dimensional?


Nope, your eyes are not deceiving you.  Too Dimensional? is about as pretty as it gets in the ofttimes inundated world o' texture.  The Gold Dust collection is one seriously awesome bunch of polishes.  This makes the second drugstore collection in one week that has blown me away


Too Dimensional? is a lighter, slightly grey purple with an insane gold shimmer.  The color looks like an amethyst collided with pyrite to create the fabulous mythical stone amethrite!! :D  The texture is the consistency of the Julie G Frosted Gumdrops and has the same overall appearance, which is very glittery.  You can even see flashes of violet blue.


If you are familiar with the L'Oreal Color Riche polishes, you'll remember that the brush is squared off at the end...well, in the Gold Dust line, the brush is still square-ended, but it's also wider for some reason, so be careful if you're like me and have nail beds only slighter wider than Barbie's.  Other than that, the application was a breeze, and I had no cleanup at all.

In order to stress just how much this polish twinkles, I felt the need to post the all-telling blurred bottle shot.  Feel free to bask in its glowing nimbus.

Death by sparkle.  What a way to go!

The L'Oreal Color Riche Gold Dust collection is amazingly beautiful - all 9 of them.  I should add that if you don't have Julie G polishes in your area, be on the lookout for L'Oreal's exquisite Pop the Bubbles, which is almost identical to the exquisite Julie G Rock Candy.


You need these.  That is all.

Oh, foul wallet!  Why doth thou persist in being so humble??

Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely evening! <3

  1. Gah! I love this! L'Oreal and texture seem like a strange combo but I like it! Oh and I sympathize with you on the nail beds, if yours are like Barbie's, mine are like Skipper's ;-)

    1. LOL!! But I think your nail beds are at least longer than mine, aren't they? Mine practically start at my fingertips! :P And YES, you wouldn't believe how pretty these polishes are. All so elegant and unusual. <3

  4. I just picked up one of these, myself! I do like L'Oreals and this collection offers some pretty unique texture shades. The names, though... that gorgeous burnished copper shade... I Like It Chunky?!!??!? What does that even mean??!!! The word and all its variations make me squirm and there is no way a polish with THAT name is ever going on my nailses. And yes, I am missing out, because the color's gorgeous. It's like Manglaze Santorum (if you don't know, don't look it up... take my word for it).
    But I digress.

    This is stunning on you, your photos are gorgeous, and your application perfect ♥♥ Totally digging your new profile pic, btw :D

    1. Oh my goodness...I know!! I Like It Chunky??!! And it was such a lovely color too! I'm going to believe they were talking about soup. :D I'm dying to see which one you got, although I have a pretty good idea...I'm thinking it was the other one I was holding before I decided to buy the Maybelline Brocades Amethyst Couture instead, haha.

      Thank you...and thank you, LOL...I accidentally deleted my profile pic and that was about the only other one I had here. I got a Nutra Sonic for my birthday, and the excitement was too much. :P
