Orange Reviews

NOTE: To see examples of the following colours on my nails, simply type the name of the colour into the search bar >>>


OPI: Are We There Yet? (Touring America Collection, 2011)

I'm not completely sold on the shade of this colour. I was looking for a peachy colour with a pink undertone, and this is more of a coral with an orange undertone. It is very pretty under certain lights (like the shop lighting where I bought it), but under other lights it just looks a bit 'dirty salmon' to me. Looks a little lighter in the bottle than on my nails too. The formula however is lovely. Not too thick or runny and has a smooth application. Needs 2 coats for full opacity. I'd recommend wearing this colour for spring, it's not quite rich enough for me to consider it an autumn colour.

OPI: A Good Man-darin Is Hard To Find (Hong Kong Collection, 2010)

This colour is so juicy, perfect for Summer. It's a really rich orange with just the slightest hint of a red undertone.  Has a fairly even application and you can get away with 2 coats, although I'd recommend 3. Beware though: REMEMBER TO PUT ON YOUR PROTECTIVE BASE COAT! For some reason I forgot to do a base coat (I was clearly delirious) and 2 days later my nails were stained bright orange. Not a good look, unless you're a carrot...
