Orly Pure Porcelain - I had heard about how awesome this polish was and needed to try it for myself. The formula is quite good for a colour like this; 2 coats, not streaky, but not self leveling either. Unforunately, I think it's a little bit too stark for my skintone.
Comparison: Orly Pure Porcelain and OPI Let Them Eat Rice Cake - I think LTERC is a bit better on me, no?
Comparison: Orly Pure Porcelain and OPI Steady as She Rose - Here it is compared to SaSR... I'm not really digging that one anymore either, since it seems to dry darker than bottle shade.
Orly Nite Owl - I wanted to try this because it looked like it might be a dupe for SH Fedora, one of my favourite nudes ever. Turns out this is actually closer to Essie Mochachino, though (I don't have it yet!). Two coats.
Comparison: Orly Nite Owl and Sally Hansen Fedora - Not a dupe. I'm stuck with that SH-paddle brush, dang it!
I'm really liking Nite Owl . I don't usually go for neutral colors, but I like the shimmer in this one.
ReplyDeleteHow was the formula on LTERC?
ReplyDeleteI believe that Nite Owl is a dupe for Butter London's All Hail the Queen (one of my favorites!) By the way, love your blog! It's nice to see someone swatch with a similar skin tone. :D
ReplyDeleteomg, i saw pure porcelain on sale at ulta recenty! kinda wish i picked it up now, haha
ReplyDelete:) I guess Orly Nite Owl is just missing the tiny bits of holo glitter that BL AHtQ has, right? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty bad. I switched in a pro-wide brush, though, and it applies so-so in 3 coats. I still like it though ><
ReplyDeleteThe finish/shimmer kind of reminds me of BL Victoriana...
ReplyDeleteI think Pure Porcelain looks really nice on you, but I agree LTERC is better. I didn't pick up anything from Orly's recent set except Fowl Play because I was still sore about missing out on Merry Midnight, but Night Owl is really nice.
ReplyDeleteThese are just too light and happy for me-I think the OPI does look better with your skin tone-but they just aren't for me!
ReplyDeleteI love Pure Porcelaine, best pale, clean, opaque colour for me. Orly killed it this year, all of their polishes were stunning. That said, I used it in spring, maybe it's not working all that well right now?
ReplyDeleteI really like Orly too. The big bottle size is a bonus ;)
ReplyDeletehaha you always say this, but I don't believe youuu! I'm sure they look rockin on you!
ReplyDeleteHave I posted Orly Stone Cold yet? that one was amaaaahhhhzing. Insanely awesome.
ReplyDeleteThere's always next time! :)
