Orly Stone Cold

Stone Cold is from Orly's Mineral FX collection from 2011.  It has a blue base with blue tiny flaky like shimmer.  Application was just okay.  It was a little on the thick side and shrunk a bit at the tips.

This is 2 coats.

Essie Go Overboard

This one is from Essie's Go Overboard collection.  It's a beautifully pigmented deep teal cream.  What's not to love?

The pigment on this is extremely saturated, so you can definitely get away with just one coat.  I used 2 here.  I don't know why, but when I applied it, it was just slippin' and slidin' all over the coat of Gelous I used as my base.  When I swatched it on a finger without base, I didn't have this problem.  Don't know what that's about.

This is 2 coats.

China Glaze Electrify

I am absolutely in LOVE with this glitter!  I know we've seen it a million times, but this is from China Glaze's Hunger Games inspired collection.  It's full of gold glitter with larger red glitter interspersed through out.  How can you not love this?

True to glitter fashion, this polish was on the thick side and took 3 coats for full opacity.

My pictures do this polish no justice.




OPI Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI?

This one is from OPI's Dutch inspired collection for spring 2012.  It's a lovely red based purple with a golden pink shimmer.  I have a love hate relationship with this color.  It doesn't look great on me, but I love the color.  Oh well.  I'm wearing it anyways lol.

Application on this was nice.  I have no complaints.

This is 2 coats.
