Orly Top 2 Bottom, 2 Coats OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?, Orly Top 2 Bottom, with flash.  Hi all, here I am again. Today I have a really interesting nudey polish to show you called,  Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh ? This nude little gal is originally from this years Holland Collection. This is one polish of three that  that I got in a recent haul ( click here to see the haul ). This is a really nice creamy nude which is a cross between putty and khaki. It's so refreshing to see a nude that has green undertones, it makes it really neutral but different to allot of other nudes out there. The formula was really nice on this one, she's a great creme polish to work with and is a little thicker than some other nudes, so you only need to paint two coats to get this fab opaque coverage. She dries lovely and quick between coats, and gives you a nice shiny finish. The pictures shown are with Orly's Top 2 Bottom top coat, although it was fairly shiny without it. ...

Orly Top To Bottom, 2 coats OPI I Don't Give A Rotterdam, Orly In A Snap,  with flash. I've really been getting in to my stamping lately, but this polish is so pretty that I had to leave it alone in all it's glory. I only got this in my nail mail yesterday (click here if you haven't seen it) and I knew I wanted to put it on straight away, so here it is. Let me introduce you to OPI I Don't Give A Rotterdam . This gorgeous polish is from the recent Holland Collection and I'd admired her on other blogs.  She is a gorgeous dusty mid-blue with subtle purple undertones and some special shimmer in it. The shimmer is special as in some lights it looks silver and in others gold, ooh magic! The way the shimmer seems to sit on the colour, it gives it a nice textured appearance and this is what makes it unusual. As above without flash  Formula wise it went on really well. The first coat had some patches, but by the second coat that all evens out for a beau...

Left to right, Orly In A Snap, Orly Top 2 Bottom, OPI Did You  Ear About Van Gogh?, OPI  I Don't Give A Rotterdam, OPI Pedal Faster Suzie One night last week I was sitting looking at some nail blogs on my phone and realised I hadn't been on a favourite website of mine for a while. I wasn't actually planning on buying anything, but when I saw they had some of the OPI Holland Collection, I just had to indulge. As you can see I also grabbed a base coat and top coat in one, and then a quick dry top coat. I always like to try new base and top coats, and as I've been really loving Orly polishes I wanted to see if these were as good. I bought these from Cheapsmells.com as I have had good experiences with them several times. Delivery is quick, they come well packaged inside a sturdy box and I've always been happy so never had to contact them. They have random polishes on there and their stock is always changing so worth having a look. They also offer free postage a...
