#30DaysofColourChallenge - NEON

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 21 is a neon polish.  This is Orly's Glowstick and it is part of the 2012 Feel the Vibe collection.  Wowsa, this is the most 'neon' neon I have!  I used a white base and achieved opacity with 2 coats.

This is another one that is great when used as a pedicure!!

#30DaysofColourChallenge - MATTE

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 20 is a matte polish and this is Orly's Purple Velvet.  It is a medium matte purple that is opaque with 2 coats.  It is part of the 2013 Matte FX collection, but I believe it was a re-release.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - CHROME/METALLIC

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 18 is a metallic/chrome and this is Orly's Rage.  It  is a rose-gold super shiny polish.  Rage is part of the Foil FX collection from 2010.  With two coats it was opaque and I valiantly tried to 'get rid' of the streaks with a top coat, but as with most metallics it didn't work.

I bet this would be a gorgeous pedicure.

Jelly Sandwich With a Flower Instead of Glitter !!

This is a jelly sandwich with a flower instead of glitter, using Loaded Lacquer's Pomegranate.  I started with a coat of Pomegranate, then created a flower with dots using Orly's Goth & OPI's I Just Can't Cope-acabana.  Then I applied another thin coat of Pomegranate.  I also tried a matte top coat after and I think it really creates a cool effect.

 

This is such a cool technique.  I first tried this during the #31DC2013 with a teal green here.

 If you are looking for some unique and high quality polish that is easy to work with, I would recommend taking a look at Loaded Lacquer.  They can be found here.

Orly's Gumdrop

I really needed to pick a pretty and cheery polish on this gloomy and chilly -14 c day.  This is such an underused polish of mine and yet it is so pretty.  It is a close dupe to China Glaze's For Audrey.  Two coats and it was completely opaque.  I really love Orly's brush, just the right size for me.

This is one of my gorgeous go to polish.
