China Glaze LOL


Today I decided to swatch China Glaze LOL. It is a holographic purple. This is two coats and it dries semi-matte. From the moment I saw this polish, I fell in love with it! It applies like a dream (just as with the other China Glaze OMG polishes). If you are a holographic nail polish lover then you'll have to get this! Enjoy!

Orly Wandering Vine & Enchanted Forest comparison





Index & ring are Orly Wandering Vine;
Middle & pinkie are Orly Enchanted Forest;
Both have been applied 2 coats.From the look of the bottles I thought they had just a slight difference between them but right after I tried them on both,  I was surprised at the difference.
Enchanted forest has a dark overall tone while Wandering Vine is lighter and has a more clean look.
I would suggest that if you are a green polish lover like me and love dark polishes you must have both.
I personally prefer Wandering Vine.
When I started to paint my nails with these, it was sunny outside.
I was very happy to swatch them in the beautifull morning light.
I took my camera and just as I wanted to take a photo the sun was blocked.
Damn... I waited about half an hour (that was very time consuming since i wanted to swatch more polishes...)
until the sun came out.
I hurried up to do some swatches and managed to take a few.
The second photo was taken in strong sunlight.

Orly Bloom Spring Collection 2010


From left to right: Wandering Vine, Blushing Bud, Wild Wisteria.
Yesterday I received some goodies from Orly.
 I've got 3 nail polishes from this collection. They are spectacular, vibrant, full of pigments and the formula is excellent. They apply like a dream and they are extra glossy. All of the photos were taken outside. The first one is taken in sunlight and the second one is taken in shade.



Orly Wandering Vine, 2 coats.
It is a lighter and more vibrant version of Orly Enchanted Forest.
I think this is the green that most of us were expecting from OPI  
 Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow. It's green on the nails not    
black like OPI. This is the green I was waiting for.





Orly Blushing Bud, 2 coats.
What can I say, I can't get enough of fuchsia. This is my
guilty pleasure. It's a superb fuchsia with a blue undertone.
It applies like a dream and the formula is owsome!
You don't need a top coat. It has a wonderful gloss.





Wild Wisteria, 2 coats.
This is indigo! I love indigo but many polishes tend to
have too much blue in them. This polish, on the other hand,
is the closest to indigo. Could be simillar to OPI Sapphire In
The Snow. Maybe I will make a comparison. Anyway,
this is the indigo that I was looking for. I love it, love it,
love it!

Thank you Orly for this vibrant collection.

Orly Metal Chic Metallic Collection Swatches


From left to right: Orly Solid Gold, Orly Iron Butterfly, Orly Glam Rock

These are very sophisticated nail polishes.
In the bottle they look a bit dull but when you put them on your nails, they look amazing. They are very addictive and you can't get enough of these. You can wear them without a top coat or with a top coat, it just depends on your style. They are spectaculare! I love them!



Orly Solid Gold, 2 coats

This is a metallic mate gold with silver shimmer and a very slight red shimmer.
