Orly Nail Lacquer - Clear - #20039

This is the French Manicure for a mermaid!I love this magical pinky polish. It reminds me of L'Oreal Sea Lily lipstick (from decades ago). This shade is fun and classy and it goes with everything (especially fish tails).

I have a few gray polishes and I like this one the best. Application was really smooth and something about this gray was cool tone, and not dreary. I paired this with a pink maxi dress and got so many compliments on my polish and several workers at ulta asked what color I was wearing. If you look really closely, once polish is applied, there are these dark little speckles(they are not very noticeable but are a nice touch). I am glad I splurged on this shade. Its the only gray I own that is cool toned enough to wear in the summer time as well as the winter.

Great color. Good quality. With a base coat and a top coat, it lasted 3 days before chipping. But why does a good nail polish comes with a crappy brush??!! That brush totally ruin the whole good impression I have for Orly Nail Polish. It's so small. Makes it impossible to brush the polish on evenly. Therefore it comes out thick and streaky. I put on two coats and it looks a little better but it's still uneven.

Orly's Raspberry Ice is a blue-based medium-light shimmery pink in the bottle. On the nail, however, what I ended up with was a dull, chalky, muted pink. The application was very streaky (but opaque in two coats) and the finished result was not matte but definitely not shiny. This one needs a top coat, which helps but still. . . . one would expect there to be some sort of shine to the polish. The only thing going for this polish is the rubberized handle which is a Godsend. Overall, I give this two thumbs down because it just looks awful.
