Orly Mulholland Collection for Fall 2016!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have the 6 piece collection from Orly for fall 2016, called Mulholland. I know I've mentioned before that ever since Orly rebranded, I've been consistently impressed with their collections. It's so nice to see 6 piece collections. Larger collections seem overwhelming to me, lol.

Mansion Lane is a dark grey creme. This is 2 coats, plus topcoat. A nice formula, no pooling or running. It was the tiniest bit thin but that is just based on my preference for polishes.

Cahuenga Pass is a tomato red jelly. This is 3 coats plus topcoat. I don't think this is a very fall like color, but I LOVE it! Great formula, as well!

Hillside Hideout is a deep mauve with gold shimmer. This was another with a great formula and opaque in 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Million Dollar Views is a golden coppery color with gold glitter. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. Now, I know what you're thinking: doesn't this look exactly like Orly's Rage? I thought the same but no, Rage is more pink and has no glitter. I even took a comparison swatch for you!

MDV on the index and ring finger, Rage on the middle and pinky. They look even more different in person and both are completely lovely.

Party In The Hills is a black and gold microglitter in a clear (or possibly slightly tinted base). 3 coats, plus topcoat. The glitter wasn't quite as dense as I prefer for glitters but again, that's just my preference.

Meet Me At Mulholland is a brown shimmer with orange and purple flakies. This is 3 coats plus topcoat.

What's your favorite from this collection? I personally love Cahuenga Pass and Party in the Hills!

Talk to you soon!

Barielle Jetsetter for Fall 2014

Hey guys!

Press Sample

I have another Fall collection from Barielle today. I believe this is the second or technically third, since the previous collection I reviewed had two parts.

Jetsetter embraces the cool tones that are perfect for this time of year.

Kiss Me Kate, 3 coats. This looks more pink in the bottle but on me, it was a perfect 'mannequin hands' shade.



Autumn in Seoul is a gorgeous coppery bronze. This had very good coverage and was 2 coats.



Irish Eyes is a medium green creme. I used 2 coats.



Rain in Spain is a light periwinkle color. 2 coats.



Gondola Ride was a little bit thin and patchy after two coats, so I did three.



Midnight in Paris was perfect and only one coat!

Overall, these were really great formulas, with the exception being Gondola Ride and that was only a little patchy. These aren't typically fall colors with the periwinkle and nude but I really like that these aren't blatantly "fall" colors!

You can purchase Barielle here.

Talk to you soon!

China Glaze Loco Motive

Hey guys!
                                                                                                                                Nothing To Disclose

I have half of the China Glaze All Aboard collection for you today!! Whoo! Or should I say "choo choo!!"? Bahaha!

Let's start with the inspiration for my fantastic joke, Choo Choo Choose You. This is a lovely green to golden to purpleish multichrome and it's much prettier in person. When I saw promo shots for this, I didn't even pay attention to it but it's lovely! This was 3 thin coats.



Mind the Gap is a golden green bronzey color with some shimmer. This was 3 thin coats.

Well Trained is a dark teal creme. This was two easy coats.

One Track Mind is amazing and I love it and this was 2 coats. OMG THAT COLOR. I can't help it: I'm a sucker for blue!


Nice Caboose! is a fuchsia/berry color. This was 2 coats.


Stop That Train! is an red orange polish with golden shimmer. This was lovely and two coats.



Loco-Motive is a black and orange polish in a clear base. This was one coat over Stop That Train!

I liked this half of the All Aboard collection! The formula's were easy to work with, as per usual for China Glaze.

Have you picked up any from the All Aboard collection? What were your favorites?

Talk to you soon!

Orly Smoky for Fall 2014

Hey guys!
                                                                                                                                 Nothing To Disclose

I have the Fall 2014 Orly Smoky Collection to share with you today! Whoo!

Smoked Out with Edgy accent nail. This was two coats of each and omg these colors are gorgeous. I absolutely love them together!



Highlight was a little bit thin, but it still covered nicely in two coats. It was a bit sheer on the first coat. This is a great putty color for fall glitters!



Brush It On is a gold/orange/copper/pink shifting topper. This was one coat over Blend. It's very sheer so definitely needs to be layered.



Blend is a dusky purple gray color. Two coats. Very soft and pretty for fall!



Darkest Shadow is a blackened red with brown and orange glitters and shimmers. I really love this blurry picture, lol! I used two coats.


I don't know about you, but (I'm feeling 22! Just kidding.) I'm loving Orly's collections this year! I am super impressed with the continuity and I really enjoy the themes! Go Orly!

Talk to you soon!
