Orly – Birds of a Feather collection

Right on trend for fall and winter is Orly’s latest AW11 nail polish ‘Birds of a Feather collection’! Dazzling metallic shades paired with sophisticated neutral lacquers gives a twist on standard fall hues! The shades in the collection represent the vibrant plumage found on some of the world's most exotic birds.
The collection contains 6 striking colours; (L-R) Fowl Play is a multi-dimensional purple sparkle,  Lucky Duck a rich green, Nite Owl a neutral beige shimmer, Peachy Parrot a beautiful orange coral shimmer, Sea Gurl a stunning gun menal grey shimmer, and Sweet Peacock a peacock blue shimmer.

Orly’s new collection definitely reflects themes as seen on the AW11 catwalk, for example Gucci’s AW11 runway show which featured gorgeous jewel toned gowns and lot’s of ruffle and feathers!

The other day I tried Sweet Peacock on my own little fingers:

Sweet Peacock is a striking electric blue polish with a silvery foil finish. I have to admit I was a little shocked when I first put this on my nails because the colour was just SO intense and blue!

The formula of this polish is amazing. The Orly polish applied like a dream, this was after only two coats. It was already pretty much opaque after just one coat which is pretty impressive for such a high shine/glittery polish. Plus it's also very long lasting!

This is definitely not a nail polish for the faint hearted, because you will attract attention when wearing it. But if you are not shy to shine and love blue then this is just gorgeous! I wasn't sure if it was quite me to start with but it definitely grew on me, I loved seeing this bright shade on my nails :)

What do you think of Sweet Peacock or any of the other shades from the 'Birds of a Feather collection'?
I'm definitely keen to try Nite Owl after seeing some swatches online! xoxo
