So Many Photos, So Little Time...

I couldn't decide what to post today, I figured I'd show you the gross swatches now and the nice ones later. I feel like I've been showing a lot of work-appropriate polish here lately, so why break that streak? I promise I'll have something brightly colored later on this week! I have no idea why I took so few photos, so hopefully, you get the gist of this polish - Zoya Erika.

Erika is a light pink with gold shimmer that sort of looks green at certain angles. It's like the pink version of Zoya Gaia! This photo is a little too pale but the bottom two are more accurate. I've shown it at two coats in all the photos. There is VNL at 2 coats but I liked how it looked. If you would like to build it up more, I believe it was opaque in 4 coats the first time I wore it.

I love gold shimmer....sigh....

Very work-appropriate, and not boring at all! And I'm sure you could use it for jelly sandwiches! It's very versatile!

Hope you like pink polish, because I've got another one for you tomorrow!

Happy Polishing,

Three In A Row

Hope you don't mind, but it's the third Orly polish on a row here on Life.Love.Nailpolish! Nite Owl was one of my must-haves from the Birds Of A Feather collection released in Fall of 2011. I've worn it before, but as with most Orly polishes on me, it chipped in a few hours so I don't wear it very often. It's a sort of chocolatey taupe color with silver shimmer. I thought it would be more nude but it's a bit too dark and cool-toned on me. I'll have to look it up in my notebook later, but I used either 2 or 3 coats here. It was a little thick and lumpy, but I don't know if that's because it's been sitting around for so long since the last time I used it. On to the pics!

It's really packed with shimmer, so no need to worry about this being a hidden shimmer polish!

See what I mean about it being a little lumpy? I'll thin it next time before I wear it. I hope my bottle of Royal Navy thickened up a bit since it was on the thin side.

Hope you liked the polish, and if not, I hope you at least liked the larger pic size! I widened the blog so that it could fit larger pics. If the pics still aren't large enough for you, you can always click on them and make them even bigger (although, that is slightly more complicated now that I use flickr for pics).

Happy Polishing,

Another Orly Polish?

I actually have a ton of photos of today's polish, but I'm only gonna post a few because it didn't feel like this polish was worthy of pic spam. I like the color, but it's just average to me.

Orly Gilded coral is a peachy nude with gold shimmer. I have an obsession with nudes, so I had to get this polish. If you're fair-skinned, this may lean more peach to a point where it looks like a light coral on you. I can't remember how many coats I used but I want to say it was 3 because I remember it being sheer.

Ok, that's enough photos. If you want to see more photos of this polish, you can see them here in my flickr account. 

Is this polish up your alley or totally not your style? Let me know in the comments!

Happy  Polishing,
