Orly - High on Hope

When I saw this polish at Sally's, I immediately knew I had to have it. I'd never quite seen anything like it before - lots of ooohhh's and aaahhhh's were had as I help up the bottle and rotated it in the light. It is my opinion that no photo of this polish does it any justice, but I will share my swatches anyway!

This is High on Hope in daylight, but not direct sunlight.

Very direct sunlight

These were all varying angles in the sun.

I wish I could get these photos to show up bigger on my page - does anyone have any info on this?

For some reason my middle finger went wacky and seemed to wrinkle a bit. Still, I really enjoyed wearing this polish. Application was a breeze. If blues are your thing, High on Hope will not disappoint you!

Thanks for reading :)

Orly? YA RLY

This is my first and still only Orly polish. Out of all the things that make this polish amazing, I really really love the grip! I am always a little worried I'll drop my nail polish brush while painting and destroy the carpet or splatter it on my work area, this made me feel safe. Hah. The first time I tried to apply Androgynie, it didn't go so well, and I was quite discouraged. Luckily I stumbled across this helpful entry by Polish Insomniac! I still probably didn't leave the bottle upside down long enough, but I got a lot more large glitter this time around. The heavy pigmentation covers up some of the glitter, though, and I gotta say I should have stuck with one coat on some of my nails. On to the pictures...

Good? Bad? Needs more upside down time? Yeah... Anyone have an Androgynie story to share?
