Orly is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands. Between them and Misa they are starting to give China Glaze a serious run for their money. The rubberized handles are simply perfection. I also am totally in love with the fact that the bottles look really large, they are heavy, solid, and feel like they are great quality. They are really doing the trick for my bottle fetish. The color selection is pretty good too. I just really wish they had more blue and green cremes. But I am covered on pink, red and purple cremes from them, holy crap.
This is about as close to straight up pink as I allow myself to buy anymore. I just have too many pinks. That's a real problem because pink is not my thing. This is 2 coats.
Gorgeous! From the promo pics I thought this would be more of a true red but it isn't. Its a gorgeous reddish purpley raspberry color and I adore it! 2 coats.
Another wonderful red creme added to my stash. This is perfection in a bottle my friends. I cannot get enough of good red cremes. This one is so smooth, not too orange, and dries SO shiny. 2 coats.
Gah! Love! Super dark, vampy, red jelly. It's got some brown in it but not too much. It's killer awesome. 3 coats. I really needed this when I did my vampies comparison but I didn't have it then so whatever. My guess is that this one is right between Zoya Casey and Misa Love Bite.
So this is a tad less blue than shown here because my camera is the devil and loves to add more blue to anything purple. It's so pretty though. It's also a dead on dupe to Zoya Lael. 2 coats.
I've been dying to start another giveaway and it's been nearly impossible to wait until the first one was over. But today I woke up in a foul mood with an incredibly sore throat from snoring and walked into my kitchen to find 4, count them FOUR, piles of Manatee crap. FOUR! We aren't talking 4 little nuggets here folks, there were four PILES. He must have been saving it up all day like some sort of mobile poop piggy bank. Do you know what that means? It means that little butt hole got OUT of the bed with me on FOUR separate occasions, sauntered into my freaken kitchen, did his circle dance, and pinched a loaf. Each time returned to my bed and snuggling back up with me in the warm covers as if he hadn't just shit in my kitchen! He is STILL snuggled up in the warm bed this very minute!
So my morning got kicked off to a great start on my hands and knees on the freezing cold floor, scrubbing up Manatee presents. After I collected myself, showered and had a few sips of coffee I realized a grand realization people! This is my shit and I can do whatever I want! So today the new giveaway starts!
The new prize is a new bottle of Orly Enchanted forest, a gorgeous green creme, and a brand spanking new bottle of Matte Magic Top coat.
Here is my swatch of enchanted forest, don't worry I have two bottles.
The rules are the same as last time. Tell somebody, link somebody, email somebody or whisper to a stranger in the checkout line about the contest and post who you told in the comments. International followers welcome! Contest ends Next Monday at midnight.
i told some of my online friends about it, and they've checked out your blog now cause of it :)

Great giveaway! Love your blog!!
amberski75@yahoo.com
Those are lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to enter your contest since I have each of these already and would rather they go to someone who needs them!
ReplyDeleteBut I did want to tell you even this story about poo made me laugh! I'm sorry you had to start the morning off like that though. No warm snuggly bed for Manatee.
You are too funny and have freaking beautiful nails!
wow Orly Naughty looks amazing! I am putting it straight on my lemming list!
ReplyDeleteLol at the mobile poop piggy bank!
ReplyDeleteI love Pure Petunia and Plum Noir on you and am so glad I have them!
I would like to enter your giveaway please, I told two of my friends (who are into polish, just not as into it as I am), their names are Anna and Britt-Mari.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Orly since they are crazy expensive over here (like 20 USD!), maybe I should throw in a bottle Orly or two next time I order online. :)
I love how you write by the way, your posts always crack me up.
I love Orly too! Their formula is so nice. I also love the brush!
ReplyDeleteI told my mom about the contest. :)
I've been digging through all my local Sally's to see if they have the Enchanted Forest/Prisma topcoat set on clearance, but no luck. :( So this is a great giveaway!

Ah! I'd love to enter your contest. I've been searching for that Orly for a while!
ReplyDeleteI've told my husband and my dog. My husband went back to playing with his iPod touch but my dog got really excited and brought me his toy.

ReplyDeleteI tagged you for the Best Blog Award!
(and I told my SO about the contest: He didn't care but that is old news ;-p )
First, loving Enchanted Forest and Plum Noir!
ReplyDeleteI lol'd at the "mobile poop piggy bank"! I've called our Rosie a poop mobile because every morning I have to draaag her out her warm bed to go outside where she will take forever to pee and poop before we can go back in. I'll leave her back in her bed while I go take my meds and when I come back in a few minutes, she's managed to poop again by the front door! And get back into bed. Silly baby.
Anyhow, for the contest! I told my sister and my sister-in-law. email is lunatikitty @ gmail.com

ReplyDeleteThank you again for the chance to win some great polishes.
I told my sister and my mom.
andreja.av@gmail.com
Have fun!
Was at school when someone said i had nice nails. they wanted to know what's the secret, and what are good polishes, gave them your link and they watched nail swatches the entire lesson. I should feel bad for distracting them. But the nails make me happy.
ReplyDeletexmystica@live.nl
I love these Orly creme...And your nails are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI added your giveaway to my "intl giveaway area" in my blog http://maisenzasmalto.blogspot.com/
I cannot tell my husband and kids because
a) they won't be interested
b) they would understand that dinner is not ready because I was spending my time here on your blog instead of cooking!!
Your poop story made me laugh, tricky dog!!
