Rockin’ Rocket is part of the ORLY’s winter collction. When I ordered it I thought it would be more like a red polish, but in fact it’s more like a really dark red brown with golden gshimmer in it. I’m not sure wether I like it or not. I mostly wear a lot brighter colors than this one. I think I only have 2 or 3 browns in my collection. It it a good color for the winter and when I swatched it, it reminded me of christmas.

Application with all the ORLY’s I own is great. They apply really smooth. This one only needed 2 coats for complete coverage. I can’t say anything about the wear time cause I only swatched it for you guys. But I think it will be okay, because my other ORLY lacquers are great and stay on really well. I find this color to suit pale people like me better than most of the dark colors I tried. It doesn’t make my skin seems like I just rised from death and  hunt people being a zombie. It is a nice color if you like to wear kinda dark colors.

Orly is becoming one of my favourite brands. They make lovely polishes that are quite extraordinary. Take this one for example. A light purple base filled with gold shimmer that makes a duochrome. When the first swatches catched my eyes I immediately knew I had to have this one. My lovely e-friend Suzanne was ordering at Nailpolishfashion, a dutch webshop, when she saw that Fantasea was for sale there. She texted me and ordered one for herself and one for me. How lovely. Last week it finally arrived (it was at backorder) and today I made my own swatches. Gosh I love this one.

This is one of those polishes you keep staring at. I really like how sometimes it seems more gold than other times. It is kinda sheer, so this is 4 coats for complete coverage. Three was okay but I hate visible nail lines so I used another one. Good thing is that it dries kinda quickly so it didn’t take me long for completing this manicure.
