Hi everyone,

I just finished reviewing all the nail polishes that I’ve received from the Bloom and Sweet Spring Collections and now it’s time for a round-up.

Orly Bloom Sweet Spring Collection ORLY Bloom and Sweet Spring 2010 Collections Review   Round up

Orly Bloom Spring I 2010 Collection is a feminine collection that captures the colors of nature, straight from the garden. Bold colors epitomize this year’s spring trends with deep pinks, burnt oranges, rich wines and purple blues.

The colors from this collection are vibrant and very pigmented and I can say they are truly chip resistant. This is my favorite collection so far because it contains some of my favorite colors like pink and fuchsia. icon smile ORLY Bloom and Sweet Spring 2010 Collections Review   Round up

Orly Sweet Spring II 2010 Collection, with a playful, yet nostalgic look back at iconic sugary treats, not only reminds us of our childhood favorites and past times, but stays on trend with a throwback to Jackie O’s pastel pillbox hats.

This collection contains the most sweet colors for spring and each nail lacquer comes with a free matching flavored mini lip gloss key chain. My favorite color from this collection is Pixy Stix.

Here you can check the reviews I’ve made on 6 of the nail polishes from these two beautiful Spring Collections:

Kinetics “Deja Vu” Nail polish – Review + Swatches

Hi everyone,

I don’t know if you are familiar with Kinetics nail products. I’ve discovered this brand only last year when I went to a beauty fare and I’m enjoying their products since then.

I didn’t knew anything about Kinetics at that time but their colors were gorgeous and the prices were OK with me. One bottle of Kinetics nail polish has 15 ml of product and costs 7$. I know that many of you may consider this a normal price, similar with Orly and other brands but here in my country this price is really for cheap nail polishes.

Kinetics Deja Vu Kinetics Deja Vu Nail polish   Review + Swatches

Kinetics Deja Vu – no flash

Here a good nail polish like Orly or OPI costs around 16$ so is more than double of U.S. nail polish price. Usually when I talk about a nail polish price and I say that it’s chip I’m comparing the price with the other brands available in my country.

Deja Vu is not a new color, but if you take a closer look you maybe remember having seen it in Winter 2008 fashion shows.  Deja Vu is a vibrant green color, I could say that is the perfect green shade for me. It’s part of Film Noir 3 Kinetics collection. Continue reading ‘Kinetics “Deja Vu” Nail polish – Review + Swatches’

Orly Blushing Bud Nail Polish from the Bloom Spring I 2010 Collection – Review + Swatches

Hi girls,

Today I’m going to review Blushing Bud nail polish which is one of my favorite colors from the Bloom Spring I Collection for 2010.

As many of you know by now I’m a fan of pink and purple colors and any combination that contains some sort of pink shade gets my attention.

Orly Bloom Blushing Bud swatch1 Orly Blushing Bud Nail Polish from the Bloom Spring I 2010 Collection   Review + Swatches

Blushing Bud is a feminine color inspired by the colors of nature straight from the garden. This pink creme shade is very pigmented and creates a beautiful contrast if it’s going to be applied on somebody with lighter skin color.

In my opinion this is a mixture of colors between fuchsia, wine color and pink. The texture is perfect and with only one layer of polish you can set the beautiful color right on your nails. Continue reading ‘Orly Blushing Bud Nail Polish from the Bloom Spring I 2010 Collection – Review + Swatches’

Orly Ginger Lily Nail Polish from the Bloom Spring I 2010 Collection – Review + Swatches

Hi everyone,

Today I will review Ginger Lily nail polish, one of the six beautiful nail lacquers from Orly Bloom Spring I 2010 Collection.

Orly Bloom Ginger Lily swatch Orly Ginger Lily Nail Polish from the Bloom Spring I 2010 Collection   Review + Swatches

If you’ll choose Ginger Lily you must know it’s a fiery color with a little bit tendency towards metallic shades. This burnt orange shimmer is one of the classy colors that can look great on any type of skin.

I can’t say it’s my favorite color of this collection because I prefer pastel color or very vibrant pink lacquers.

I’ve applied the nail polish without any problems, texture is light and the perfect brush makes the polish to glide easily on the nail. Two coats of nail polish were enough to get the final look.
