I have a little story to confess. When I first swatched these nail polishes, I didn’t like them and in fact I hated it. Both was gloopy, didn’t dry for ages and was a pain to apply. So I stashed them away and have totally forgotten about them until I saw a few positive blog posts raving about them. After a few thoughts, I took them out again to test run it again and boy am I surprised that by changing my technique of applying nail polishes could make such a huge difference.

You see, I am accustomed to a certain brand of nail polish and have always been on the heavy handed side (I much prefer one thick coat rather than 2-3 thin coats), much to my surprise Orly nail polishes certainly works like a dream with very thin and carefully applied coats. These swatches are all two thin coats.

Orly #Faint of Heart

The perfect taupe for Autumn. Glossy, creamy and is incredibly smooth.

Orly #Jealous Much

Minty pastel green and is a must have for those who are a bit adventurous and think of all the nail art possibility with this!
