Has Orly Fancy Fuchsia changed my mind about Summer Neons?!

Hey everybody...So as you can tell from the title that this post is going to be about the neon Fancy Fuchsia. If youve every read any of my posts about neons (which I hope you have) you'll know that I'm not the biggest fan of them. Mainly because they have become such a staple in most Jordanian girls polish stacks that the sight of neons almost makes me want to vomit. Having said that...I think I may have changed my mind and underestimated the power of a carefully chosen pink neon.





I wont even pretend to know how to describe this color because that will only exemplify my profound inability to talk color. But be warned these pictures arent completely color accurate even though I really tried to get the color to show up right. I'd say the closest one to the real color is the second picture. The only thing I will say about this color is that I believe this pink has blue undertones so that it gives it a vibrant yet deep color. So it is neon but its not the most in your face popping kind of pink. Actually this pink is going to be rocked on my nails for alot of this Summer. So if your like me and tend to shy away from neon pinks definitely do give this color a chance and you will be pleased. Now I think I have to go back and try out some other neons. Who knows maybe I'll become a full blown neon lover!!
P.s. For my Jordanian readers, Orly is now available at Mikiaji (Mecca Mall) and select Sharmiran.
Thats all for now.

Nail Art...Hit or Miss!?

Hey guys! Hows it going? Today I want to show you some nail art I did quite a while ago but Im not really sure whether its a hit or not. My sis seems to think its really cool but I'm not totally into it. Individually I like the designs on each nail...I dunno, you tell me.




Strange, huh? Well let me break it down. I did a slanted cheetah print on my thumb with the base of Color Club Incognito and dotted the cheetah with OPI Senorita Rose-alita. For my index I used a base of Color Club Oh Naturale and Did the rose with Essie No More Film. My middle finger is done the same as my thumb but with a full print. My index finger is Orly Ingenue. My pinky finger is the same base as my index but the rose is made with Essie Olie Caliente. The leaves design are with .Sally Hansen Green with Envy.

So, Hit or Miss?

Orly Ingenue and Orly Night Owl; Swatches and Review

Hey guys! Today, I want to show you the two polishes from Orly that I got in my recent haul. Btw, if your wondering most of the polishes I purchased were bought from Transdesign. Honestly, they are amazing...I mean they dont have the biggest range of polishes but you'll more than likely find what your looking for. And they sell at like half the prices of other stores. Oh and Heads up; these are pics of my left hand so my nails are a bit shorter. Anyway, so here they are!


Orly Night Owl...Finally in my posession! This amazing putty brown with amazing silver microshimmer has been on my wishlist since forever. And my oh my has it been worth the wait! It has a definite earthy feel to it and I feel vegan when I'm wearing it...How weird right? lol. Its the most flattering polish on my skintone that I have ever owned. It brings subtleness and a bit of sass to the equation and I simply cant wait until wintertime to wear this non-stop! Its formula was amazing. Applied perfectly within two coats. And I dont even feel like it needed a topcoat just because it had enough shine on its own. AMAZING!



Orly Ingenue...Another biggy on my wishlist. J'adore! Ingenue is a duochrome shimmer polish that flips between copper and purple at the slightest hand shift. Application was totally easy being perfect at two coats and the formula was great to for a completely shimmery polish. I loved looking at this on my hands and everybody complimented me while wearing this. Its a screamer...I can tell you that. You will definitely get noticed while wearing this...thats for sure! Love, love, love!

Hope you liked these pictures. And enter my Pre-100 Follower Giveaway if youd like to win some pretty nice polishes, Peace!
