Orly Sunset Strip | Holiday 2016

Hello everyone! I'm a bit late on this collection but I still wanted to share it with all of you! This is the six piece Orly Sunset Strip collection.

First up is 'up all night'. It is a beautiful and sparkly gunmetal gray polish! The formula was very smooth and easy to use. Shown is 2 coats with topcoat. I absolutely love the wide brush on these polishes!!





Next up is 'last call', a pink shade with pink and blue shimmer to it! I was pleasantly surprised by the finish of this polish because based on the bottle, I was expecting a frosty mess of a finish. It had a very easy to use formula but did not dry as quickly as the first polish. The coverage was better than I thought on the first coat and it covered in two.





'the who's who' is a lovely creme blurple color.  The formula felt a bit jelly like. The first coat was a bit streaky for me but it was a smooth formula and covered in two.





'sunset blvd' is a jelly red color with a gorgeous gold shimmer. This is the absolute perfect red for the Christmas season! Shown is two flawless coats. Although I must say, this red shade stained my cuticles quite a bit upon removal.





'invite only' is another perfect color for the Christmas season. This green is definitely going to be a staple in my Christmas nail art line up. Two coats for a flawless creme/jelly finish. Shown with topcoat because it dried slightly dull.





Finally we have 'celebrity spotting'! This is a beautiful grape purple with a gold shimmer running through it and other glitters. Two coats with topcoat are shown.





Overall this is a nice collection but there is definitely a large range of colors and finishes. My favorites probably include 'the who's who' and 'celebrity spotting' but I like each polish for its own reasons!

If you are interested in purchasing any of these polishes on the website or check out Orly's instagram here. The collection retails for $42.50 or $8.50 individually.

Thank you to Orly for providing these polishes free of charge. All of my opinions expressed in this post are my own and I was very honest.

Nail Hoot Christmas Carols | Holiday 2016 Collection

Hello everyone! I'm back at it again with another full collection to share with all of you! This is the Nail Hoot five piece Christmas Carols collection.

First up is 'Angels we have Heard on Hight', a royal purple shade with abundant purple and gold flakies. This polish is super quick drying, which made the first time I applied it a bit tricky but I got the hang of it by the third nail! Super opaque in 2 coats and dried slightly dull but one coat of topcoat made it super shiny!






'Joy to the World' is a lovely green color with what appears to be pink flakies! It covers very evenly on the first coat and was opaque in two. It's not necessarily my favorite color to wear on my nails but the polish is beautiful! Shown with topcoat.






'Away in a Manger' is a stunning ice blue polish with blue and pink flakies. The first thought I had when I put this on was wow it's SUPER sparkly!! Two coats shown with topcoat.







'O Holy Night' is a beautiful blurple polish with a purple duochrome flash. It also has an insane amount of sparkle to it! Two super easy coats to opacity. Shown with topcoat.






Finally we have 'O Come All Ye Faithful', a beautiful baby pink with blue and pink shimmers all throughout. This polish seems to be a bit frosty, which isn't a bad thing but its just not my favorite finish! It was opaque in 2 coats and dried slightly dull but one coat of topcoat did the trick!







Overall, I think this collection is spectacular! I love the mix of different sparkly finishes, which makes the collection quite cohesive. If I had to pick a favorite polish, it would probably be 'O Holy Night' because it reminds me of a galaxy in a bottle. I could get lost in the intense duo chrome and tiny holographic particles. Absolutely gorgeous!!

If you are interesting in purchasing any of these polishes, check out Nail Hoot on Instagram or Facebook in addition to the website. The full size collection retains for $33, while the minis cost $23. Individual polishes sell for $7 each.
