Orly Birds Of A Feather Collection!

Lately i have been going au natural on my nails because they were so short that i just didnt want to draw attention to them but luckily for me they are now back to a decent length and i have been dying to try out some new vivid colours.

Orly's Autumn/Winter collection Birds Of A Feather fits the bill perfectly with its gorgeous array of Irridesent and strong shades which were inspired by the colours and tones of birds such as the peacock.

Sweet Peacock is a stunning glisening blue shade which catches the light beautifully.

Sweet Peacock     Lucky Duck       Peachy Parrot         Nite Owl             Sea Gurl          Fowl Play

For me the stand out shade has to be Fowl Play. It is a multidimentional colour that has chunks of glitter and is beyond gorgeous, take a look:

3 Coats gives a full coverage and dense glitter effect!

 

Another great wear to wear these is to try layering as i did here with the first swatch. 

1 Coat of Sweet Peacock & 2 Coats of Fowl Play. I love the effect and this is the combination i will be wearing the most.

Available from Beautybay  priced at just £6.95 i think these are a complete bargain.

Orly have seriously come up trumps with this collection. Have you tried any of the shades yet?

ORLY Purple Crush NOTD!

A few days ago a little parcel popped through my letter box from my lovely friend Farrah who blogs over at Make up it girl.
One of the things inside was a gorgeous nail polish from Orly called Purple Crush.

I have just seen that this colour is on offer at feelunique.com for just £7.85 inc free delivery. I really love the brushes and consistency with Orly polishes they seem to go on so smoothly.

Ring fingers i added a coat of Orly Bubbly Bombshell (I can't resist a bit of glitter)

Followed by Barry M Nail Effects

I Love this shade, its a bit deeper in real life but so rich and vivid. I keep looking at my nails and admiring them. Have you tried Orly before and if so do you have a favourite colour to recommend?

The Great Glittery Polish Post !

I'm the first to admit I'm a sucker for Glitter! I just have these magpie tendencies that immediately draw me to anything shiny. So with that in mind i wanted to put together a post of some Beautiful Glitter nail polishes.
After all your nails is the one area i think you can go crazy with glitter and get away with it.

I love the fact that glitters can be worn on there own, on top of block colours or layered for different effects. There are so many fab ranges to choose from and if you just fancy something cheap and cheerful then you cant go wrong with the saffron polishes that cost just a few quid each.

ORLY TERRACOTTA

Sometimes i Love the Classic look. Trends come and go and as much as i love trying out all the latest shades sometimes i like to go back to basics with a classic red.

Orly Terracotta

This polish is easy to apply and gives great even coverage with just 2 coats. I always think of Orly as a salon product so was pleased to find out that the mini sizes are now available at Boots priced at just £5

I'm going to treat myself to Purple Crush as i love the look of this vibrant little polish and it will be the  ideal size for travelling.
I can picture this on my toes with a tan. Gorgeous :)
