Orly Foil FX Collection Redux

Earlier this year, I posted about Orly's new Foil FX Collection.  Orly's PR firm had sent me Luxe to swatch and review.  I fell in love with the collection, and the look of Luxe, so I decided to pick up the 2 remaining colors, Rage and Shine as soon as they were available at e-tailers. 

Here are the swatches...

Rage - Rose Gold.  My favorite of the bunch.  I knew I would love this one as soon as I saw it on Vampy Varnish.  It works with my skin tone and is the least "blingy" of the 3 colors, though that's not to say it's not completely shiny.

Shine - Silver. My second favorite.  This is a gorgeous true silver. 

Luxe - Gold.  My least favorite.  I like it, but it just doesn't work with my skintone.  It's a very bright warm gold.

All 3 are 2 coats and I had no application issues with any of them.

Orly had stated in their press release that this collection was to mimic the look of Minx.  They are beautiful foils, but while they can pass for Minx in a pinch, they don't really capture the look of being coated in gold/silver foil of Minx. 

If you love foils, I would seriously consider picking these up.  They are ~$3 at e-tailers.  Sally's may have these, but I haven't been there in so long, I can't say for certain.

Luxe was sent to me for review

Wet N Wild Craze Collection-Inferno!!! Burn Baby Burn!!

As I was sitting in the truck waiting on DH, A car pulled up along side and I said to myself "WOW!! thats a pretty color". I pulled out my trusty camera and took a picture. (click click )  I couldn't wait to get home to check my stash for a match.  I pulled out Wet n Wild Inferno. ♪Burn baby burn, Disco Inferno♪...remember that song 1976 The Trammps. lol!!  (Am I telling my age)




Wet n Wild may be cheap in price, but they apply like butta with 2 coats

See the gold flash of color

1 coat of China Glaze Orange Marmalade topped it off with a little shimmer

Do you look at cars/trucks and think about what polishes you have to match?

Have a great nail polish day (*_*)

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms-Purple Diamond...Oooh La La!!

As I was looking through my stash trying to find a holograpic polish to layer over my yestersdays nail of the day Essence Colour & Go-Break Through, I decided to use SH Nail Prisms Purple Diamond.  It's such a beautiful holo!  These Nail Prisms are super old. During the time that they were being sold at the Drug Stores I wasn't a nail polish collector.  I found this one and a few others on ebay.  Were you able to snatch some of these at your local DS?

These next few pictures were taken outside without flash...you still can see the holo goodness!

 

Certainly the best effect is in direct sunlight see the rainbow sparkles :)

 

Tell me, which holo puts a smile on your face? This one certain did for me (*_*)  Until next time have a great weekend and a great nail polish day!!
