Orly - Halley's Comet

Hello there!

Today I have one of my FAVORITE polishes to share! This is Orly - Halley's Comet, from the Cosmic FX collection. This is one of the most loved nail polish collections released last year, with people going crazy over the colors. Rightfully so! Halley's Comet has been keeping me mesmerized for three days. Hey, that's a long time for me! I just took the pictures a few minutes ago, so you can see how well the polish is wearing, with almost no tip wear.

Halley flashes from blue to green to gold. This polish definitely reminds me of a mermaid. It has that feel.

While I do love this polish very much, a lot of people were disappointed in it and consider it the least original polish in the Cosmic FX collection. This is because both OPI and Zoya have dead-on dupes: Catch Me in Your Net and Charla, respectively. I prefer Orly because the bottles are slightly larger (.6 ounces as opposed to .5). This collection was priced higher than most Orlys though. They said it had something to do with the formula. Whatever, it's worth it.

In other news, I am obsessed with my LaLaLoopsy doll, Pillow Featherbed. That's her name. Really. BUT I did give her a new name, Esme. She's French. So is her little "mini-me" doll, GiGi. And she is too cute. I just love these dolls! I feel as though they were made for adults, even though they are targeted to children. They appeal to the same people who love Blythe dolls, I think. Anyway, this is how weird I am. I'm playing with dolls again. And I don't even care!

Zoya - Mimi

Hi, friends!

Sorry it's been a few days. I had a lot of trouble taking good, accurate pictures of today's polish, Zoya - Mimi. This is one of the three polishes I picked up for free from their recent "sale." It's a beautiful purple shimmer!

It's not as blue as it looks here. It's more shimmery than it looks here. Now you see why I was so scared to take pictures of non-creme polishes. I also don't really get why my pinky always looks like the polish is see-through. It doesn't look like that in real life, promise. Um, in full disclosure, I tried to "airbrush" my cuticles a bit, but they still look gross.

Anyway, I kinda realized that dark colors aren't my thing at the moment. My nails are longer than they've been since high school, and I prefer lighter tones to match the length. Darker colors look a little too vampy right now. Oh, well. I popped a coat of Orly - Shine On Crazy Diamond over Mimi yesterday, but I didn't really take a picture. It's a clear polish chock full of holographic glitter. This is the only picture I took all day (with my Blackberry), but I'm mostly sharing it to show off my cool new ring! You can see a little holo goodness shining in the light.
