Orly Fowl Play

Indoor Lighting

Orly Fowl Play is part of Orly's Birds of a Feather Collection for Holiday 2011. It is a deep plum shade of purple, and is a jelly polish with flakies and blue glitter. It is a very unique shade and the flakies make it extra special. The flakies looks to me to be an iridescent coral, gold, and red depending on the viewing angle. I used three coats in the swatches, and the polish has a smooth finish. Orly polishes retail for 8.99 at Sally Beauty Supply.

I am sure you have seen plenty of swatches of these cute polishes. But I had to at least cover one of the adorably bottled polishes here. Black Magic is a black cream polish with orange and silver glitter. The brush wasn't the best but it applied fine. The swatches are two coats. These polishes retail for $2.99 at drugstores, and I have also seen them at Meijer.

Thanks for looking!

One coat over black Flash

One coat over black Indoor Lighting

Nubar Antiquity Silver is a silver glitter with small silver flakie glitter packed in a clear base. The first two swatches are three coats. It is sheer with three coats but pretty if you like to wear sheer polish, or a french manicure. The bottom swatches are one coat over a black cream polish. The application and finish of this glitter polish is smooth. The retail price is $7.49.

Kleancolor Golden Nightmare




Kleancolor Golden Nightmare is an opaque black cream with golden glitter. This color is so pretty. There are small round, and slightly larger irregular gold glitter that makes it look almost like a flakie. The swatches are only one coat and the application formula and brush were great. The think the bottle is cute too. The finish has a slightly gritty feel so a topcoat would make it completely smooth. Kleancolor prices vary depending on where you find them starting from $1.00 to $3.99.

China Glaze Cross Iron





China Glaze Cross Iron is a very metallic pumpkin orange polish. I found it on the China Glaze Halloween display at Sally Beauty Supply. The application was smooth.  The finish as with most metallic polishes is slightly streaky. I used two coats for opaque coverage. It is a good orange polish for the fall season. I keep buying orange polishes for some reason. I haven't found the perfect one for me yet so the search continues. Cross Iron retails for $5.99.
