Orly Sugar Coated Collection


From left to right Orly Taffy, Orly Bon Bon, Orly Meringue, Orly Cupcake, Orly Petit Four.




Orly Cupcake, 2 coats.
      It is a pink creme (it isn't sheer at all).
It has a slight blue hue.
This is not a light pink.
I like this pink a lot!
The application is flawless and the formula
reaches opacity in just two coats.





 Orly Bon Bon, 3 coats.
This one is really an amazing colour.
But there is a downside to it.
It is very sheer and you can't completely cover it in 3 coats.
Because I applied 3 coats, SURPRISE, I've got bubbles.
In spite of the downside, the colour is amazing.
It is a true lilac. It is one of my fave nail polishes of all time.
If you are careful with the application, you can achive a good manicure.
In this swatch I was in a hurry but in other times I could pull it off.
Excellent colour!







Orly Taffy, 2 coats.
 A light pink with tiny hot pink\orange flakes.
It is slightly sheer, as you can see, it can't completely cover in 2 coats.
It applies very well and I didn't have any problems.
I am sure that pink lovers out there will love this colour.
I personally like it.







 Orly Petit Four, 2 coats.
A light plummy-purple-lilac kind of colour.
It is a little difficult to describe but it is a gorgeous colour.
Flawless application and it covers in two coats + it is creme. 







Orly Meringue, 2 coats.
 At the beginning I was skeptical about this colour.
I thought that it will be extremely sheer.
But for my surprise, it wasn't.
It is a white creme and has a fine orange shimmer.
In the end I was happy with it.


Overall this collection is wonderful.
I like each and every one of the nail polishes.
I think I missed one, Rock Candy.
With the exception of Bon Bon, the formula is perfect!
Bon Bon is worth the risk, because it is one of the best lilacs on the market.

French Tip Mani

Orly Green Apple, 2 coats and L'oreal
French Tip White as french tips + O.P.I Top Coat.
This green nail polish is a very good candidate for
french tips. This is one of the best green nail polishes out there!
It is truly an apple green.

L'oreal Dozen Red Roses, 2 coats and L'oreal
French Tip White as french tips + O.P.I Top Coat.
A red with a slight hue of magenta.
It has a good shine and a very good application.

Color Club Flower Power Collection Part 1

Index: Yell-Oh!, Middle: 220 Volts, Ring: Blue Light, Pinky: Wild Child.

Thumb: Orange Revenge, Index: Lazer Pink, Ring: Pink Flame, Pinky: Power Play.

Color Club Yell-Oh!, 3 coats.
A neon highlighter yellow.
This is one of my favourites.

Color Club Pink Flame, 2 coats.
In the picture, it is brighter than in real life.
It is a pale hot pink.

Color Club Orange Revenge, 2 coats.

Color Club Orange Revenge, 2 coats.
The most brightest orange I have ever seen!
A truly unique colour.
It is neon and the slight matte texture gives its bright and
truly stunning colour.
This isn't like the other neon matte.
It is slightly glossy just like the other colours
in this bright collection.
The second photo shows the colour best!

Color Club Lazer Pink, 2 coats.
A very beautiful candy pink that stand out from the crowd.
An amazing colour like this is very hard to find.
In real life it is more lighter that in the picture, without the blueish tone.

Color Club Blue Light, 3 coats.
This colour is a baby blue that I wanted very badly!!
It is more lighter in real life.
I will have to give this 3 thumbs up!

Color Club Pink Rush, 2 coats.
A trully unique colour!
It is very hard to photograph this neon collection and capture the real colour.
I would have to say that this hot pink is leaning to red.
One thing for sure is that this colour is a must have
from this collection.

Color Club 220 Volts, 2 coats.
Another blue... that stands out from the crowd!
It is very close to the picture, maybe a little bit lighter.
A vibrant blue that has something special.
LOVE IT!

Color Club Power Play, 2 coats.

Color Club Power Play, 2 coats.
 A fruitful purple leaning towards hot pink with a slight blue tone.
OMG, it is so hard to describe this flattering colour.
Like 220 Volts, it has something special.

NOTD: Nail Art

Today I have tried, for the first time, polka-dots.
It is fun and easy to apply.
I encourage you all to try this.
Here are some photos of my current NOTD, Orly Green Apple as a base and Color Club Lazer Pink as the polka-dots.
If anyone asks, I have used a toothpick to make the dots.

You have to be patient because this takes a very long time to dry.


Orly Green Apple - base, 3 coats and Color Club Lazer Pink - polka-dots.

China Glaze Kicks Collection

I have got only 3 nail polishes from Kicks collection.
I would like to have more (especially the blue ones)
but at the moment, these are the 3 colours that I
have got from this vibrant collection.


China Glaze Entourage, 3 coats.
It is a spring green with a fine, visible
shimmer. It is almost similar with
Orly Green Apple but darker and
with shimmer. Love it, love it, love it!
(I love green nail polish.)
China Glaze Entourage, 3 coats.




China Glaze Laced Up, 2 coats.
A warm, light, hot pink.
Excelent formula.


China Glaze Paper Chasing, 4 coats.
WOW! Another excellent green nail polish
with a metallic shimmer.
Two greens in a single collection.
That is very impressive!
It is a deep green, just like in the picture.
This colour is very distinctive.
The downside is that it is sheer and you
need at least 4 coats.
I was tempted to add the fifth coat but I
stopped myself just in time.

China Glaze For Audrey

For Audrey is the most swatched nail polish on the net and it is for a good reason. As you can see this is a wonderful colour. I can't stop looking at my nails and I could say that I am in love with it! It isn't blue and it isn't green. It is just the right turquoise. It has a flawless application.

China Glaze For Audrey, 2 coats.

China Glaze For Audrey, 2 coats.

Entity Pearl Fuchsia

I've just received this today and the bottle is so cute!
I wanted to know if the formula was good and asked everyone but they didn't know anything about it.
I decided to buy it from "transdesign" and try it out for myself.
I was amazed how perfectly it applied.
There where no streaks and it dried out quickly.
Here are some swatches for you all!
They've got seven striking colors, you can see them at the previous post.




Entity Pearl Fuchsia,Two coats.
The formula is perfect and it almost applied itself!
A great fuchsia with a slight blue undertone.
