Orly Nail Lacquer Flash Glam FX - Right Amount of Evil - #20452

This was a surprise to me. I had it in my mind that this was a chunky glitter topcoat, but it's more than that. This is a translucent orange polish full of medium-sized gold and iridescent (holo) glitter, plus mini and ultra-fine, including some fine bar glitter, and it can certainly be worn on its own, though it's never fully opaque.As I do love orange, and glitter, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. It is a pretty spectacular polish, definitely not subdued, and not for the timid. This polish says "Look at me!" in a way that only a glitter-filled orange polish can do. I'm not that keen on the formula. The glitter needs to be carefully pushed and adjusted when you lay it down in order to get relatively even coverage, and because it's somewhat on the runny side, you need to keep your hands fairly flat while it dries or it tends to run on your nails and pool. Ugh. It also tends to settle, and needs to be warmed (just carry it in your pocket for a little while) and given a good shake to get things going again.Still, pretty polish, and there's fun to be had here, especially since the translucent base allows for layering. Unfortnately, I finally put this polish in my "give away" box. While I loved the colour and the glitter, I just got kind of fed up with the formula. If I'd applied it with a sponge or other such technique, I'm sure it would have been fine, but I just couldn't be bothered. So while I like the polish results, I decided life is too short to mess around with annoying formulae, and off it goes to someone who has more patience than I do. :)

I picked this color up and it is just great. It's a great silver sparkle. I love love the glitter. It is a fine and rocks. I love it for the holidays. But it's fun all year round as well.

This is an opaque icy silver with tons of silver microglitter, giving it that diamond effect. Love the easy-to-open rubber top and the wide brush. I got this at CVS for $5.99.
