I picked a random Orly- from the 2007 Hot Stuff collection for Mainstream Mani Monday- Blue Collar.It’s quite a lovely blue! I did only 2 coats of this.

I wanted to try a Zoya and grabbed one randomly out of my Zoya drawer, and it was Journey! It’s a shimmery red/orange polish. The formula was divine! And the color- gorgeous! I did 3 coats.
