Hello lovelies! Slowly, but surely I am getting through my polish stash, one polish at a time. My post today kind of cheats because I've done a skittle mani to show you some pretty great Orly glitter polishes. Let's take a peek!
Each Orly glitter polish is swatched over 1 coat of Wet'n'Wild "Black Crème".

I added a few extra pictures than I usually would to show the holographic glitter as best as I could capture it.
Index: Orly "Monster Mash", 1 coat
Middle: Orly "Shining Star", 2 coats
Ring: Orly "Right Amount Of Evil", 1 coat
Pinky: Orly "Be Brave", 1 coat
Monster Mash has a green tint base colour with holographic green hex, micro round and micro bar holographic glitter. It is a great layering polish! You might be able to build opacity but you're looking at 5+ coats. I would layer it over a similar base colour and do a few coats if you want a completely blinged out mani.
Shining Star is a polish I picked up on clearout at Sally's months ago and never had a chance to try out. It is a yellow/golden glitter polish with random light green glitter. Nothing crazy special about this one, but pretty none-the-less. I did two coats to match the opacity level of the other Orly glitter polishes.
Right Amount Of Evil is fantastic. It boasts an orange tinted base filled with the prettiest pink shimmer. I find that rather ironic considering the name. It also has silver holographic hex glitter and micro holographic silver bar glitter.
Be Brave is one of two string glitter polishes that I own. I just picked up the one that is released in this years Sinful Colors winter collection and that pretty much sums up my string glitter polish collection. (Swatch coming... sometime.) It consists of pink holographic string glitter in a clear base. Simple. Pretty. I like it. I really like that the pink flashes purple at every angle.
All in all, I'm happy to have these polishes in my collection. Glitter has been something that I have struggled with for the same reasons as pretty much every one else: removal. I know the tin-foil removal method, folks. I really do. I am just lazy. Yes, I am usually too lazy to sit around and do nothing for 10 minutes. Haha. How ridiculous do I sound? ;)
Do you have any of these Orly glitter polishes? What do you think?
Use Elmer's glue as a base for your glitters! There's a ton of blog posts talking about it, and it works SO. WELL. I've been sporting glitter way more because of this 'magical base coat' ;)
ReplyDeleteI am loving the Orly glitters.. and Orly polishes in general :)
I need to do some research and figure this out! I haven't heard of this AT ALL. Very intrigued.
DeleteLOVE these glitters!
ReplyDelete:) Me too!
DeleteGorgeous glitters! lmao I know what you mean about the glitter removal and the foil method...I'm also lazy haha
ReplyDeleteHaha, very glad I'm not the only one. ;)
DeleteIt's such a good idea to use different glitter over black nail polish! Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I swatch them over black so I can see how opaque they are at one coat. (Or 2 coats, etc.)
DeleteBeautiful glitters! I like them all :)
ReplyDeleteUgh. I think I need all of these, but especially Right Amount Of Evil- holy pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so pretty! I always love a glitter topcoat over black :)
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous, I have nothing more to add…
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I am drooling over these nail polishes. They all look so gorgeous. I find them all elegant and classy.
ReplyDeleteThese look so amazing skittled together like this! (Shush, spellcheck. "Skittled" is so a word. ;p) The colours and glitter mixes really do compliment each other beautifully. ^_^
ReplyDeleteGreat glitters! Fun to see a glitter skittle ;)
