Orly - Pure Porcelain

Hello everyone,

Today is such a gloomy day here in Toulouse... well, we can't complain because we've had 2 perfectly beautiful months without any rain... as result: drought. So, if it's gloomy, it should also rain. I hope.

Today I'll be showing you Orly' Pure porcelain. I know, I know, it's been swtached and re-swatched. I really like it, I like the finish and everything. I've got it because I saw it on other blogs and I really liked it. I've actually bought 2 polishes from the Precious Collection 2011: Pure Porcelain and Royal Velvet (true love polish!).
Pure Porcelain is a very nice nude cream polish, white based, with a touch of pink and another one of beige. Looks a bit like Essie Topless and Barefoot, but in a little lighter.
The polish is beautiful, the finish is porcelain like and you get it opaque in 2 coats. The application is however a little tricky. It is very streaky, so you need to manage your brush carefully. In the end the brush strokes get even by themselves, wish is lucky, because I couldn't do a good job with it!  Ok, not  a fan of this one's formula... But the result is quite ok, I'd say.

Here are the pictures. Here I'm wearing 2 coats of Orly Pure Porcelain, no top coat (remarkable shiny finish!):





With my jasmine


And with a coat of Sinful Colors California on the index and ring, for a touch of spark ;) :




And you know what? :) Yesterday I've ordered my first Konad tools (stamp + 4 discs) :D I'll probably have them on Saturday (not sure).  I'm so happy! ;)  :D :D

Big hugs for you! Have nice day!
See ya! ;)

Orly Royal Velvet


... OR ROYAL VELVET FOR A ROYAL DAY! ;)

 Hello everyone!

What better polish to show on the day of the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton than Orly Royal Velvet???
Oh, gorgeousness!!!
This is definitely one of the most beautiful polishes I've ever seen!!

It's number two on my list of favourite polishes ever. I'll present to you my number one in a future post ;)

I've taken a zillion of pictures of it, trying to capture all of its beauty... I don't know if I've managed to do that, you'll tell me ;)

About the polish:
I's a beautiful purple base with an incredibly sparkling duochromed blue-purple shimmer.
Everything about this polish is great: application (like butter), opacity (2 coats), wear (prefect - 3 days and not even the slightest tip wear!), shine, enchantment, everything... I couldn't stop watching my nails!
And in the sun you realize the depth of this jewel... it's like it has several levels.
Ok, I'm in love ... :)

I'm going to stop my rambling here and let you take a look at the pictures!

Look at that duochromed shimmer!!!








 With flash:




Just one word: WOW!

PS: just wandering... what polish do you think Princess Catherine was wearing for her marriage????
(ok, ok, I'm a nail polish junkie, I know ;) )

Kisses everybody! ;)
