I love light polishes, but sometimes they don’t love me. This one loved me! LOL! Orly Stratosphere. To be fair, this isn’t really white- in my app, whoever put it in characterized it as a pastel blue?? I don’t see that, I see a purple leaning gray. See? And it was a little patchy, you… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday-Orly Stratosphere, Essie I Need a Vacation
Oooh, this is so pretty!! Orly Snow Angel, part of their Winter 2023 collection. This is such a pretty cream! It has just a touch of blue? Gray? The formula was great, no issues at all. It’s almost like a super duper pale pale blue? Like when snow kind of gets that glittery frosty crust… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday Orly Snow Angel
This Essie is so pretty! And it’s a cream! Essie Secret Story This is a very jelly formula, isn’t it such a pretty color! And even though this is three coats, you can see a bit of vnl. More so in pictures than irl. Doesn’t this look squishy??? I love it! Just a big fan.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Secret Story, Orly Brittany Beach
I love black polishes, and this one from Color Club is so pretty! Especially when I have shorter nails. This has some silver shimmer running through it. I only had to do two coats, the formula was fine. I got this when they did their $1 mystery polishes. Just always really love a black polish!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Color Club Showtime and Orly On a Whim
I typically don’t do jellies, but these came in the Kelli Marissa x Orly Halloween collab, so I tried them out! First up, Oasis Jelly. Three coats and it’s a touch patchy. I’m sure if you do jelly sandwiches that patchiness goes away. Teal isn’t my favorite color, but it is a good Halloween color.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Kelli Marissa Jellies
Wow, happy 2023! Here’s my wrap up of favorite mainstream polishes (indies will be next!) In no particular order except for my favorite, at the end…we have first the two from the China Glaze Dippin’ Dots that were my faves, Strawberry Chillin’ and Arctic Confetti- the pink and the white crelly, groundbreaking, lololol. The formulas… Read More 2022 Round Up- Mainstream Nail Polish Favorites!!
I got the Orly x Kelli Marissa Halloween collab because….bats. I didn’t know they would offer that polish separately, ultimately, but no matter, I like the whole thing! The jellies- and then the glitters! Then I got a Loud Lacquer order- they had a deal where if you ordered like $20 worth of product, you… Read More Nail Mail Kelli Marissa Halloween 2022 and Loud Lacquer
So I’ve had these Orlys for awhile, and I decided to try them alone and with the Lisa Frank topper!! So here we go. First up is Orly Vintage. This is such a pretty color. Is it turquoise? Mint green? Almost a Tiffany blue with a touch of green? Aqua? I’m not sure, but it’s… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- a bunch of Orlys!
Orly Kaleidoscope was one of the Electric Escape Summer 2021 collection. I got several of these, and I thought this would be the one I liked the least, but I really really liked this. Such a pretty pretty color. And the formula was great! For a cream polish, this is just amazing. I can’t wait… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Kaleidoscope
So this was a great summer mani! Orly Artificial Orange, from their Electric Escape Summer 2021 collection. Phew, that’s bright! It’s a cream, and it had a bit of a tricky formula, but worth the effort. It was quite opaque, but did need two coats. It’s a great neon orange! I have really been enjoying… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Artificial Orange
