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.

Glitter Week : Icing's Tiger's Blood and Epic Winning

Warning!  Objects are more glittery than they appear.

Icing Tiger's Blood is a bright coral jelly polish with gold, coral, and iridescent shimmer. The formula is very thick which made application a slight challenge. Adding some Seche Restore would help to thin the formula. The above swatches are three coats.

Epic Winning has a clear base with blue, silver and holographic glitter packed in. It would need to be layered over another polish for opaque coverage. The above swatches are three coats. The fine silver glitter made for typical messy glitter removal.

Icing polishes are only sold at Icing stores in shopping malls and the retail price is $4.50 a piece, but there is usually some kind of sale with the purchase of multiple bottles of polish.

Born this Way Yellow Appreciation Week

Three coats
Two coats
One coat

In celebration of the release of Lady Gaga's Born This Way CD release, this blog is being born today. One message always loud and clear in Lady Gaga's music, is to basically go for it and believe in yourself. I will be bringing things I think are fun an inspired and share with all of you things I hope are helpful and enjoyable.

It's yellow week. The first yellow polish I will be reviewing is Deborah Lippman's Yellow Brick Road. This polish is a buttery mid-tone yellow. The application on the polish was smooth an even. I did discover that i am not into jelly polishes, though, unfortunate.
