Orly Perfect Pairs: 5: Blackened Teal

Good evening lovelies!

Another Orly Perfect Pair for you tonight... this one features another first for this blog and another pet hate of mine... bar glitter :-(

I have never liked how it looks on me and do not own a single polish that contains bar glitter, however as with the other Orly Perfect Pairs (including the brown polish!) this sparkly little number won me around!! I think mainly because it was beautifully rainbow coloured and holographic. See for yourself...

Check out the multi colours in this glitter...

For this Perfect Pair I used Orly Le Chateau which is a blackened teal jelly. I have featured this polish before here but I didnt include a swatch picture as the one I took at the time looked plain black. In the below picture you can see the teal showing through this blackened jelly base.

On my other hand is one coat of Orly Sunglasses At Night which as you can see is made up of blue holographic bar glitters. This is one of my least favourites from the collection but I have to say it layered really well and looked very effective.

Here are the polishes side by side...

I couldn't resist the sunglasses prop to match the name of this holo bar glitter... Sunglasses At Night :-)

I honestly like this bar glitter so much more than I thought I would and might even be tempted to purchase it and make it a permanent addition to my polish collection.

Here is a picture with the flash on...

Finally here are a couple more pictures from the promo shots I put together...

Do you like bar glitter? If like me you were a bit of a hater would you actually be converted after seeing this?

Orly: A Pair of Teals

Good evening lovelies!

Tonight I am going to show you the gorgeous Orly Go Deeper from the Glam FX collection. It is rare that I wear a polish with no stamping or nail art of any kind but this glitter way was too gorgeous to mess about with. See for yourself...

I took some pictures with my camera flash turned on and some with it turned off. In all honesty this polish looked beautiful no matter what light I captured it in but I thought I would show you both so you can see the depth of colours in Go Deeper.

I started with a base of Orly Le Chateau which is a blackened teal jelly. The application was good and as you can see it really is very blackened and quite hard to see that it has any teal in it at all. If I wanted to wear this as a stand alone colour it would need three thin coats.

Le Chateau is a such a beautiful dark teal base for this awesome green glitter...

I absolutely love this polish. Honestly I could wear this for days at a time and not get bored of looking at it!

One final picture with the flash on...

What do you think of Go Deeper? Stunning isn't it?

Also what do you think of my pictures - are they better with flash on or flash off? Fellow bloggers do you use a flash when taking your nail pictures?
