Orly: Iron Butterfly

I've always liked black nail polish but sometimes I find it too severe, so I usually paint my nails with a really dark blue or red polish. While scanning a magazine a few weeks ago, I saw an ad for some metallic matte nail polish. So when I cam across Orly's Metallic Matte nail polish, I couldnt resist. I chose Iron butterfly, thought it looked very glam rock! =)

There are 3 shades in the collection, here are the swatches from the Orly Website.





I love the matte finish, it actually looks like fabric glued on to my nails haha. What I like about it the most is it takes about a minute to dry. When applied, it looks like regular polish but as it dries you'll notice that it quickly turns matte and youre all set. I dont need to stick out my fingers and avoid touching anything in fear of getting my nails ruined.

Painted my nails real quick hehe. Doesnt look very matte
from the photos because of the silver shimmers

***EDIT: The SA offered me to get the rubberized base coat, I refused thinking ill be fine without it. But apparently this polish chips very easily. Not more than 6 hours since application, my nails look like ive washed tons of dirty dishes and did the laundry haha

Actually waiting for the Foil FX will definitely get that when I see it in stores :) On a side note, I know I said id be posting and updating my blog more but i've been getting more work recently which is definitely a good thing so yay! But I am trying hehe, more posts coming up! Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!

Something different for a change...

To numb my brain from the election news and partial results last night, I decided to paint my nails instead. I always say that I suck at nail painting, well thats still true but that doesnt stop me from trying haha. The last successful try was months and months ago which was the Water Marbling. I've never been able to do it again btw, haha I think its because of the quality of the nail polishes that i've been using though.

Anyway here is a photo of what I did to my nails haha. A mess of white and blue. Blue to represent calmness and the messy strokes for the chaos in my head haha.

I should really work on my nail
painting skills I always paint the sides haha
