Orly On The List














Just to be sure, On The List is not a part of Orly's holiday collection. It was thrown in with the minis though, and I think it seems quite fitting. Everyone has a list for the holidays :)

I used three coats of On The List as it was a little bit sheer and watery. It is quite a pretty polish though once on. I am a little sad though that the pink glitter didn't show through as much as it does in the bottle.

It has quite a jelly look to it once applied. I think it is good that On The List is a bit sheer, because then you get to see more glitter particles in all the different layers. And of course you get that lovely squidgy jelly look.

It's kind of like a darker, deeper version of China Glaze Ruby Pumps.

OPI Simmer & Shimmer


















Simmer & Shimmer is from OPI's holiday collection, I can't quite remember the name but it has some exquisite colours. I really want to get that fuchsia one, gorgeous.

I only used two coats here. I think you can use any amount of coats with this one really. Depends what you're after. I haven't tried layering it yet though, I think all of my blues are all too greeny/yellowy. 

I quite like it although I can't help feeling it's too cool. You've got your yellow, orange and red in there but I think the silver is too overpowerring. Well for me it is. I keep looking at the orange glitter in this collection too. It's just so unusual isn't it?

I haven't bought any polishes in awhile but recently I think I've bought over 5! It's quite exciting but I suppose bills and unexpected expenses have to come first, so I'll have to buy in moderation lol. If that's possible.

I quite like how polish companies are pushing the envelope in a way. Bringing us more exciting and differnt colours. I think there was only one red in OPI's holiday collection wasn't there? I don't know if Suzi has been hit over the head lately, but I like what she's doin!

On a side note, it's December already!

Orly Meet Me Under The Mistletoe

 















 I'm so happy with this colour. It feels really Christmasy to me, and I just love the shimmer in Meet Me Under The Mistletoe.

I only saw it in mini form when the store first got them in. The next time I visited they had the normal sizes in. I'm still deciding if I should get the full sized Meet Me Under The Mistletoe. 

It is a pretty unique colour, has a beautiful formula too. It has really great coverage and is very smooth.

You only need two coats with this one as well, possibly three.
