Orly Foil FX Collection & Iron Butterfly Giveaway

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

Orly sent me the Foil FX Collection to show you, so here I have it. Well, two thirds of it... They left out one color, a gold called Luxe, when they sent it. They also sent one of the Metal Chic shades, Iron Butterfly, which I don't believe I showed to you. I have it already, so I thought we'd do a random drawing for it. I'll tell you about that at the end.

The Foil FX Collection consists of three super foily metallics, Luxe (gold), Rage (rose gold, very cool!), and Shine (silver). The press release tells me they're intended to give a Minx look. I leave it up to you to decide whether they achieve that.

Each of the two shades I tried required three coats, but I did very, very thin coats. They did not leave brush strokes and have a great metallic finish - I think they really look like metal nails. They were easy to control and applied quite well.

Here is the silver, Shine.

And the rose gold, the very unique Rage.

I'm impressed with these, and will be buying the gold when they're released in March.

On to the Iron Butterfly Giveaway... As I mentioned, Orly supplied me with a spare Iron Butterfly from the Metal Chic Collection, and I have a picture of it from while I was away. It's a shimmery, metallic matte black - very cool.

This is Iron Butterfly.

That's the prize, and here are the rules: one entry per person. That's it. It's open to all readers worldwide, I'll be taking entries for two weeks, and you don't have to enter your full name on the form. The only use of your email address will be to notify you if you win. Pretty simple!


So that's all for today, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!
