Orly Rage

This is just a super fast swatch of Orly Rage, but I have worn it as a full mani ...

Orly Rage is a rose gold with silver metallic fleck polish from their Foil FX line which also featured a silver and a gold.

Outside, full sun

Indoors, natural light

Sooo ... I'm a little bummed about this one because the color just seems too bland for something called RAGE (Killing in the NAME of ...). I really wanted the copper/rose aspect to show through the most, like a brand new penny, but it's nothing close. As you can see in full sun, it's rather pinkish, but very pale and almost silver leaning. While, inside it looks like a pale gold. Other than the blandness of the color, I have very little to complain about. The formula is nice and thin, goes on evenly, and dries quickly. Shown is 2 coats with no base or top. It's got lots of oomph as far as the effect goes, very sparkly and eye catching. It does dry to a satiny finish though. It wears pretty nicely, I can get 3 or 4 days out of it with minimal chipping if I use a top coat and good base.

So there ya go.

I got lots of cheap polish today, WOOT! And LAUNDRY ...

I did so much damn laundry today ... ugh. Prob 8 loads or more. I have 8 more to do from the looks of the pile in there. Booo.


So, I did exactly what I said I'd do after dropping everyone off at work and school this morning. I spent 2.5 glorious hours bee-bopping around town stopping at different drugstores looking for clearance polish. I ended up with 8 bottles. 2 Borghese, 1 Cover Girl, 1 Rimmel, 1 Sinful and 3 Milani.

Here is Borghese Cannoli Cream:


Yeah, it's pretty boring, a nude/bisque cream, but I LIKE it! It's so posh looking. The formula and application were awesome too. This is the first Borghese polish I have tried, and I'm already hooked. The brush is enormous and fat compared to other polish brushes. I like this because I have big hands, thus larger nails. It did make for a little extra sloppiness around the edges, but I'm sure I'll adapt quickly. Pictured is 3 coats over Orly Bonder and Essie Fill the Gap with 1 coat Seche Vite on top. If you like sheers, this was pretty even on the first coat. It was totally even after the 2nd coat, but I did a 3rd because I don't care for visible nail line. With 3 coats, there is barely any. The best part about this polish was the price tag! I got it for 2.19 at Walgreens on clearance.
