 Orly Breathable Treatment + Color in Love My Nails

2 coats

ORLY Breathable contains Advanced Oxygen Technology and key ingredients including Argan Oil, Pro-Vitamin B5, and Vitamin C to help improve hydration, stimulate nail growth and heal damaged nails.

At the end of the year I had $5 in Kohl's Cash I needed to use and decided to treat myself to some nail polish. The Orly Breathable Treatment + Color line was new to me, but looked intriguing, so I grabbed this bright red to give it a shot.

Note that although Orly claims you don't need to use a base or top coat, I did my normal routine and used both. I'm really impressed by the pigmentation and how easily it flowed.

Orly Mirrorball

 Orly Mirrorball

3 coats

 

Orly Mirrorball is part of Orly's Sparkle Holiday 2014 collection. This silver holo is pretty unique since in addition to the linear holo effect, it also has a scattered holo effect due to some hex glitters.

 

Although I love this polish outdoors in the sun, it's a bit of a snooze indoors or in the shade. It really comes alive in sunlight though, and almost redeems itself. But inside it just looks murky grey to me, and not all that exciting. Silver and grey shades don't flatter my warm skintone so I just don't love them on me.

 

Application was nice, though, and I got pretty good, almost opaque coverage in two coats, but I added a third to make sure I had enough coverage to make the holo stand out. I actually wore this for 4+ days and it wore beautifully, no chips in sight. Tipwear appears minimal due to the color, so there's that.

Orly Color Blast in Warm Hugs

Orly Color Blast in Warm Hugs

2 coats

 

Doesn't this shade just scream Spring? Thank goodness the sun is finally out here! We had a crazy snow storm here just a few weeks ago, and today it was 75 and felt amazing. I have been battling a nasty sinus infection for the last two weeks and wasn't able to paint my nails because I was blowing my nose too much! Ha! It felt great to get do a full mani last night and I LOVE this color!

 

I wasn't familiar with Orly's Color Blast line, but I saw a post about the Elsa collection at Walgreens and knew I needed to check it out. There are 12 shades, but they are a bit pricy to me at $6.99 for just .37 oz, so I just chose my favorite to purchase.

 

I am really pleased- application was nice and I got good even coverage with two coats. I like it so much I may go back and purchase a few other shades.

 



NOTD: Orly Sparkling Garbage

Orly Sparkling Garbage

3 coats

LOVE the holo!

Sparkling Garbage is from Orly's Summer 2013 Mash Up Collection. Knowing my penchant for holos, I knew I had to have this one, so I ordered it from Amazon recently because I missed it at my local stores. I am in love with Sparkling Garbage! I have heard it is also a great layering polish, but I haven't given that a chance yet. If you have, let me know what you layered it over.

ORLY’s MegaPixel FX Collection

A few weeks ago I received some PR info about Orly's latest collection, MegaPixel FX. I am pretty intrigued by these- anyone seen them in person yet? Are they holo?

The 3D formula provides millions of glitter pixels for a multi-dimensional finish. Just two quick drying layers create a long-lasting, hi-res manicure. Each lacquer in the MegaPixel FX collection is $10 and available at orlybeauty.com, ULTA and Sally Beauty.

Swatches: Orly Naughty or Nice Part 2

Part 2? you ask........ It's been so long since I did part 1, I know! September 7th. Oh well, here are the last three and I'll go ahead and show the first three I did here as well.

 Orly Angel Eyes
3 coats

I think this would make a good layering glitter. Coverage was pretty good at three coats, but you can see, especially on my pinkie, that coverage at the tips was sparse.

 Orly Halo

3 coats.

Again, I think this would make a good layering glitter.

Orly Miss Conduct

2 coats

HOLD THE PHONE! This is GORGEOUS and there is holo glitter in there and application is divine. An instant favorite. If I had a Top 20, it would be on there!

Devil May Care

(I am embarrassed to say I forget whether I did 2 or 3 coats but I am leaning towards 2...... either way, coverage is pretty good and I don't think you need to layer this over a solid red.)

Torrid

2 coats

This is definitely more red than the promo pic makes it appear.

Unlawful

2 coats

Details

Purchased From: www.transdesign.com ($25.50 for the set of 6)

Swatches: Reds from Orly Naughty or Nice Holiday 2012 collection

I recently purchased the Orly Naughty or Nice Holiday 2012 collection and decided to swatch the three red shades first.

Devil May Care

(I am embarrassed to say I forget whether I did 2 or 3 coats but I am leaning towards 2...... either way, coverage is pretty good and I don't think you need to layer this over a solid red.)

Torrid

2 coats

This is definitely more red than the promo pic makes it appear.

Unlawful

2 coats

Orly Rock Solid

(click pic to enlarge)

I am over the moon for this shade... it's absolutely gorgeous (great coverage in two coats, too) and when you get in the sun, YOWZA! Look at those multicolored shimmers!

I purchased this at Sally's for $8.

NOTD: Orly Fowl Play

Orly Fowl Play

Loving this! I am SO SO ready for fall after our records high temps, and this is a perfect polish for the upcoming season.

The above swatch is just 2 coats. I expected to have to do 3, but it covered nicely in 2.

NOTD: Orly Star Spangled

Are you doing anything fun with your nails for the 4th?

I think this shade would make a fabulous 4th of July mani.

Orly Star Spangled



The shimmer is absolutely gorgeous, both indoors and out. The above swatch is three coats topped with Seche Vite. Application was nice and even, and I applied three coats to up the opacity.

Disclosure: I was sent this polish for review purposes.

Relapse

Okay girls ... I am slightly embarrassed. I had a very brief moment of weakness after I got a new job a few months ago and I put solar nails back on.
Now I am taking them off again.
I know - what in the world was I thinking?!? I was having so many issues with my natural (and weak) nails breaking and tearing while doing what my job duties required, and I wanted reinforcement. I am so over all the maintenance (and cost!!) of the solar nails, so I went to the local beauty supply store and got the necessary products to remove the acrylic once again. I will post a step-by-step guide within the next 2 days on how I removed my nails with as little damage as possible. Stay tuned!!
In the meantime ... how gorgeous are the colors that Sasha and Smoochiefrog have been posting?!? I am loving the Orly Out Of This World, Essie's Aruba Blue, and Sally Hansen HD in DVD colors!!! The SpaRitual colors are so amazing for this fall and winter seasons and Zoya's Valerie is absolutely stunning!!
xoxo,
April

NOTD: Orly Out of This World

Orly Out of This World

This is from the Cosmic collection and is described as "a deep purple base with shimmer flecks of violet purple and green gold".

My light was not all that great this morning when I took this shot before work, but I think you can still see how gorgeous this is. I don't think the "green gold" flecks are that apparent, but it is still beautiful.

Orly Plastix Collection

Embrace Retro Textured Classics with…
ORLY’s New Plastix Collection

Old School Orange : classic orange
Retro Red: traditional red
Purple Pleather: shiny purple
Viridian Vinyl: glossy blue-green


ORLY, the company that continually pioneers the Nail Lacquer arena with the most cutting edge colors, technology and textures, introduces the Plastix Collection. Complementing the Fall 2010 runway looks that featured bright neon colors amid shiny black plastic, latex, and rubber reinventions of vintage must-haves, Plastix evokes the vintage classic trend with four new lacquers and a unique new formula that coats the nails with a smooth glossy matte “plastic” finish. The exclusive finish and texture is a first in the nail category, delivering a monochromatic, shiny and rubbery look that takes experimentation to an entirely new level, with the focus being on both the distinctive nail surface, as well as the latest in color trends. The unique look can not be achieved with color alone as the finish is a must for recreating the true “plastic” statement.

All ORLY Nail Lacquers including the Plastix Collection are free of DBP and all traces of Toluene, Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde resin.

The Plastix Collection Lacquers will be available beginning July 2010 for $7.50 each. ORLY Nail Lacquers and Treatment products are available at orlybeauty.com, Sally Beauty, Ulta and fine salons and spas throughout the U.S. and in over 70 countries worldwide.

NOTD: Orly Foil FX Luxe

Orly Foil FX Luxe

The weather is totally not cooperating here! No outside shots..... This is a bathroom shot so I'm afraid it's not terribly accurate. As with Foil FX Rage, you can see a more accurate shot at All Lacquered Up.

I must say, though, that these are beautiful and bling-y. The gold is almost too bling-y for me, reminiscent of Sephora by OPI Worth My Weight. But application is great and this was almost perfect in one coat but I added another for good measure.

The Foil FX shades wear really well, too. For some reason, tip wear is almost unnoticeable. After 3 days or so, it's there if you look really closely, but so hard to see.

Disclosure: Orly provided this polish to me for review purposes.

NOTD: Orly Foil FX Rage

Orly Foil FX Rage

Lookie! How gorgeous is the finish on this polish? It's Orly's answer to the Minx nail trend.

I am going to try to take an outside shot when I get home from work today because my bathroom shot makes the polish look rather gold, when it's actually a rose foil. You can see a more accurate swatch at All Lacquered Up.

The Orly Foil FX collection, which also includes Luxe (gold) and Shine (silver), will be available for sale at the beginning of March.

Disclosure: Orly provided this polish to me for review purposes.
