Orly - Highlight

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (6-7 minutes a coat). This is a mini but the brush is really good and the formula is good also. This a kinda putty grey. Not really my colour but was okay. Lasted really well.

Orly - Edgy

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is small but really good and the formula is really good. This is a nice sparkly shimmery polish, kinda made me think of the Festive Season for some reason! Lovely.

Orly - Key Lime Twist

So my last post was Hallowe'en last year! Yikes.

The last 2 photos are the Hallowe'en nails, as these have been sitting waiting to be posted since October yikes! I used Barry M Nail Effect Purple Crackle and Dance Legend Top Prismatic, which is a holo topper.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and decent drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a mini bottle and the brush is small so have plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The 1st coat is prone to bald spots. On the 2nd coat minimise brushstrokes for a decent finish. It is bold and bright colour. Lasted really well.

Orly - Sweet Dreams

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). The bottle is a mini and the brush is very good. The formula is also good too. This is a nice grey with a lovely purple shimmer. I like greys but need to be in the mood for them! This lasted well.

Orly - Star Treatment

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good and the formula is good too. It is a gorgeous red and a ONE COATER too!!!! Lasted really well, was very impressed.

Orly - Right Amount Of Evil

I put this on the last post. I really thought it would work, but it didn't! 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). This paints really well and no dabbing required! The brush is thin so make sure there is plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The formula is good too. I like the polish just don't think it works too well with the sky blue. I think it would be good on white or black. This lasted really well.

Orly - Lemonade

 

This is okay to use, dodgy to apply and okay drying (6-7 minutes a coat). The formula is really streaky and not so good. The brush is thin, that doesn't really help! A thicker brush would have been better. Careful application is required. This polish is also unforgiving to ridges :-( On the plus side, it did last well. There are way better yellows out there than this.

Orly - Acceptance Speech

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is on the small side but good and the formula is great. It is an amazing looking purple! This lasted really well.

Orly - Feel The Funk

I am back after a little break!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). This is a mini bottle and the brush is really good, just make sure there is plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The formula is really good too. It is a lilac based polish with holo glitters and it is slightly iridescent too. I really like this and think it is very striking. It looks good both solo and as a topper. This lasted really well too.

Orly - Front Page

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes for the 1st coat). This is a mini bottle and the brush is really good and the formula goes on nicely too. I did notice that the second coat took longer to dry than the first maybe 10 or so minutes. It is a nice enough colour and work suitable for sure. It isn't really my colour as such. Lasted really well and good quality.

I'd just like to say RIP Charlie Watts who died today aged 80. I was a huge fan of his and love The Rolling Stones. He will be missed. :-(

Orly - Boho Bonnet

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a nice enough grey. I do fancy a grey from time to time! It lasted well and is good quality.

Orly - Cake Pop

This is hard to use, hard to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). This is very sheer and very streaky. It shows all the imperfections on the nails - not a polish for ridges for sure! Pity as it is really nice. Now this is a mini bottle and wondering if the normal sized bottle with a bigger brush would have been better? It is a nice white pink and I only swatched this polish.

Orly Fireball

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous bright pinky matte neon with a shimmer, you can make out the blue shimmer in the second photo! And it is a one coater! Lasted well.

Orly Mermaid Tale

Put this on top of Gabrini Matte M25.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes). You get really good coverage with one coat. It is a nice green glittery polish, that is slightly holo. Lasted well.

Orly Thrill Seeker

This is okay to use, hard to apply - it is very streaky so make sure you have plenty polish on the brush and keep stokes to a minimal. The formula is sort of thick too. Drying was slow (5-6). In saying all that, it still is a lovely bold colour! Lasted well.
