Quo by ORLY Mystic Night Swatch

Sorry for not posting lately, my grandmother broke her neck (she will be okay just needs lots of rehab) so things have been crazy for my family for the last while. So I decided to let you guys know and just throw up a swatch of one of my favorite polishes.

This is Mystic Night from Quo by ORLY. I used two coats and no top coat for this picture. You can kind of see the line marks from the brush, but I feel that they are faint enough that I wouldn't really worry about it.

Natural Light - Sun 

The colour is this just makes me drool, it is so changeable from high to low light and shimmers like crazy. The application was super easy as well, as most Quo polishes seem to be. I really like their brushes.

Natural Light - Sun

I threw a top coat on it so that you could get an idea of what it looks like, and I honestly think it just makes it look better.

Natural Light - Shade - Topcoat

I wore it for about three days before I got any real chipping on it, so I was really pleased with how long it lasted as I am a little hard on my nails. 

Natural Light - Sun - Topcoat

Hopefully things will get back on track again soon!

GOSH Berry Me

Since I still had a little swelling in my wrist I decided to do one colour, I picked Berry Me, which makes me think 'Bury Me' instead every time I see it.

This is from the GOSH Winter Collection, and I am very happy with it. I had heard that this polish stains so I used two base coats under and  I had no staining after two days.  (yes I normally post a day or two after I put a polish on to see if there is an issue with the wear.)

I used two coats, but one would be okay if you don't mind a faint nail line. Like most GOSH polish it awesomely opaque. The formula was really nice on this, and way happy to smooth on.

 Natural Light - Shade

I really liked this polish colour too, it reminds me of grape punch. The colour in the sun picture is pretty much the right colour (on my computer anyway), but I feel like it's a little prettier in real life.

I really like this polish, I like the creme finish and just having the lovely colour on my nails.

GOSH Holographic Hero

Yea I love it too much so I tried it on a slightly more sunny day, although it still wasn't that sunny. So I did two coats of it this time, since that really is enough. It went on just as nice, I really love this polish.

I figured I should show you all how lovely it is when it isn't being covered by another polish.

Natural Light - Low Sun

I tried to get the shine to really go, so that it would look like the awesome holo it is, but it just wasn't that sunny since we had cloud coverage over half the sun. That is the problem with living on the wet coast.

Natural Light - Low Sun

I put a topcoat on my ring finger, can you tell?

You get the idea, it is well worth picking up if you can find it. If all polishes acted like this I would change polish way more often because it's so easy to work with. Are all holos like this?

OPI - Chic From Ears To Tail

Ahhh so I finally got around to doing this one. I have been wanting to do it since I got it, but binge watching Hannibal has gotten in the way of my free time. 

Here is Chic From Ears To Tail with three coats. Since as I mentioned before it's a little streaky I used three thin coats and it auto corrected enough that you can't really tell too much by the look of my nails.

Natural Light - Shade

The polish is pretty opaque, and I have used it in dotting before without seeing the polish under it. So it does have that going for it. I think it would be cute in a water marble, it would look like candy.

 Natural Light - Sun

It has silver shimmer in the polish, but it really is a creme finish as you never really see the shimmer unless you are looking at the bottle. On application it pretty much disappears. 

 Fluorescent Light

Do you see the flecks of silver shimmer in that close-up? they are there I promise. It shows up about this well in real life too, so don't expect anyone to notice the shimmer unless they are an inch from your nails in direct sunlight.

But to me it doesn't matter, I love the creme look and the colour is so pretty it blows my mind how much I love it. In the end it's worth it, this is the third time, I think, I've worn it since I got it and I still am enjoying having it despite the streaky application.
