Proud Beauty Bloggers of Color - Orange

I'm excited to be posting my first blog post as a part of the Proud Beauty Bloggers of Color, a group of minority bloggers from different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities that come together to show of colors we love most on our skin tones.

This time around, we're showing of orange.  Now I have to admit, orange is one of my least owned colors (along with brown) and I generally shy away from it unless it a creamsicle, pastel orange cream.  But every so often, I find a mid toned orange that I like.  Today's orange is Essie Roarrrrange from the 2014 Summer Collection.

Roarrrrange is a bright (but not neon) midtoned orange cream.  It actually seems to even have a little brown in it.  I was pleasantly surprised by this color.  I really like it on.

The formula on this was decent, but I did have a bit of trouble controlling it.  Other than that it went on nicely with no streaking and leveled out on it's own.

This is 2 coats.

  1. Gimme a moment as I just stare at your perfect nails.... A moment more... you simply have perfect nails your c-curve is to die for. As for the color I know what you mean about orange but this is a perfect pumpkin orange I may need to start gathering Essie polishes again

  3. This is ... I WANT. I must have! I really like this shade on you. I'm echoing Jessica up top -- gorgeous C curve. My C curve practically becomes an O if my nails get super long.
