Lacquered Literati

I seriously could have a million holo posts and I'm positive this will not be my last one.  I can't help it, the sun is out and for me that means BLING polishes!
I'm also celebrating my friends 25th birthday this weekend and I know will be spending some time by the pool.  I think this polish is pretty festive :)

I've got Luxe and Shine for you today! My Sally's did not have Rage, although I'm not really into rose gold type shades.  These are my first two Orly polishes!

Ok, I HATE gold jewelry, but Luxe is the most beautiful shade of gold polish! This one really appeals to me because it is a true gold without leaning toward yellow gaudy-ness. This polish seems to have a super  teeny, fine shimmer to it that I can't quite describe.  It's pretty much opaque in one coat and a definite must have if you like the look of Minx and foil finished nails!

The sun had just ran behind clouds as I took this photo, but Shine is freaking amazing none the less! This is such a crisp, clean silver and I'm sad that I don't have a better photo for you.  Trust me, it's so worth it.

Both of these polishes applied smoothly and I did two thin coats for both. The fact that these are metallics with a foil finish AND not a brush stroke in sight makes me love Orly.

What does everyone think about these polishes?

I've got one more Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear today.  I apologize in advance for the state of my hands and cuticles.  I can't seem to find the right combo of products to keep them in shape this winter and the fact that they are blue in this photo doesn't help.  I'm glad Blue Me Away didn't stain my nails, but my cuticles didn't make out as lucky.
