Fantasea

Hi wonderful ladies, Boy the week is going by so fast. I hope y'all's week is great so far.

Today, I have Orly Fantasea. I think this came out in 2010. This is a purple with a red and gold shimmer, it has a lot of red to it. This would (in my opinion) be a great work appropriate color. It's not loud, but has some color to it, very pretty. I used 2 coats and topped with SV TC. This was a hard color to capture and it's slightly lighter in the pics. Have a great day :D

Royal Navy

Hi lovely ladies, I hope y'all's weekend is off to a great start. I know I told y'all yesterday, I was just gonna stay home and stalk the web. But, I just may look for some polishes :D I was on a no buy, but that went out the window last week. HAHA :D

Ok, today I have Orly Royal Navy. I have to say I love this blue! It's a jelly packed with turquoise/teal shimmer. I don't think I own a blue like this. I'm going to have to look. The pics make this color lighter than it really is. It's a dark blue, I just couldn't capture the true color :( If you're a blue lover this is an awesome color. Have a great day ladies :D

Passion Fruit

Hi ladies, It's Pink Wednesday :D Before I get stated, this is going to be a lengthy post. If you want to skip straight to the pics, now is the time.

Today, I have Orly Passion Fruit. Ok, in the store the bottle looked like a hot pink (to me anyway) I was like, "Okay, I can do this hot pink." Then, I get home and I'm like, "This is an orange-pink neon creme." So, I'm like, "Whatever, just do it!" The formula is super thin, which surprised me and is somewhat sheer. I used 3 coats (probably could've used one more) and topped with Out The Door TC. I'm so torn about this color. I like it and I don't like it. I like it because it has orange in it and next to red, oranges/corals are my fav nail color. I don't like it because it's pink and the tip may look a different color if your nails are long. I think I have a complex about pink nail polish, because I actually love the color pink. I will say this, you can see me coming a mile away! HAHA About the pics. They were all taken in a 10 minute time frame. The sun was out and with the same setting, but they each look like a different color. It blew my mind, I was like,"Whoa."

Last week, I was on FaceBook, (because we all know I'm addicted to social media.) LOL Anyway, my FB friend Eric Bonner shared something last Pink Wednesday, I'm going to share with you all today. Eric is such a sweetheart. I often refer to him as Enrique, because when I least expect it he'll post the funniest things, so unlike the quiet, smooth, easy going Eric I know. One of the many great things about Eric, he takes care of his hands and get manicures regularly (buffed only) and if he doesn't I sure do remind him! LOL Sorry Eric, I couldn't resist ;)  I enjoy reading his posts he's a great guy. Oh, ladies he's single too!

Because it's a symbol of strength, courage and perseverance.

I wear pink!
For a Cure!

Thanks Eric for sharing and spreading the awareness. You are true Warrior in Pink. Have a great day everyone.

Red Carpet

Hi ladies, It Monday, the start of a brand new :D I hope it's starting off great and hope y'all's weekend was awesome too.

Today, I have Orly Red carpet. First let me say, My fav nail color is red. I may be a little biased because I love love love RED! This color did not disappoint. This is a cherry red with micro glitter. The formula was good, no problems application was pretty easy. I can't say it was too sheer I used 2 coats and topped CG TC, if you want you could use a 3rd. I say that because it's like, "hmm, maybe a 3rd coat wouldn't hurt." I didn't, because I just don't like to do 3 coats if I don't have to. As I was thinking about the name 'Red Carpet' it sounded  familiar so I went back and found Sally Hansen Red Carpet you can click here to see that post. Man my nails were long! I really miss them :( I just started blogging when I used Sally Hansen's Red Carpet. Sally Hansen's is darker than Orly's, but I love them both. You may be seeing a lot of reds for Valentines's Day, some with designs some not :D Have a nice day ladies :D

Androgynie

Hi everyone, Just a quickie post. More shopping to do and I get to spend time with my sissy and niece :D I literally did this mani in like 7 minutes! Now, I have 8 minutes to edit pics :/


Today, I have 3 coats of Orly Androgynie. This is a black base with small and medium glitter. The glitter didn't transfer to my nail all to great. I didn't have time to play with it. Formula is great, easy to work with. Sorry about the poopie pics and the clean up is a little bad, I was in a hurry. Oh, the sun doesn't want to play nice, so I'll label the pics. Have a great day :D

Oui

Hi ladies, It's almost the weekend :D Just a quick post. Today, I have Orly Oui. I'm in love with this color! It's a deep purple with gold shimmer. The formula was great to work with. I bought this as a mini set, so the brush length was short and a little awkward, but all minis are. I do have larger bottles of Orly and the brush length is great. As far as the brush is concerned, it is a little thin, but easy to work with. But, I compare every brush to Rimmel (it's my fav brush) It is somewhat sheer, 2 coats would've been good. I don't normally do 3 coats but, today I felt it was worth it :D Then I added 60 Second Rush Top Coat. The sun was playing peek a boo today, so I labeled the pics for y'all. Have a great day :D
