Coral Crush: Orly Cheeky

Hi again! It's been way too long!  Life has gotten in the way for both me and Jackie, but I'm so excited to be writing again.  I just got around to wearing this shade for the first time and it's so pretty and perfect for summer that I had to share.  Meet Cheeky by Orly:

Reminds me of the sunsets in Arizona!

This was a beautiful peach/ coral polish that leans slightly pink, from their Blush collection that came out Spring 2014.  My bet is that you can still order it online or might come across it in the Ulta clearance sale.  I purchased mine at one of Sally's clearance tables. It is just beautiful and the gold shimmer that is not too perceptible on camera is definitely more visible in person.  Vampy Varnish did a much better job at photographing the shimmer in Cheeky than I did, but I love this polish so much I had to take some pictures of my own and share.  I love that in certain lighting it leans more pink than coral (not pictured here).  I tried to capture that but my camera would not have it.  All I'm trying to say is that you need this polish!  It was pretty enough to make me blog again after a year hiatus...so there's that. :) 

Shimmer! Coral + gold = swoon!

I used 3 coats in these pictures; the formula was sheer and very easy to work with.

Thanks so much for reading, if anyone is still out there!  I promise to be posting more often as well as some NOTDs on my Instagram and our Facebook page. 
I have been obsessed with coral lately, so if you have some must-have coral polishes please let me know what they are! :)

P.S. you can still purchase Cheeky on Orly's website.

By The Way...'You're Blushing'

I'll be snapping out of these greyed, wintery pastels soon!  Before I do, I wanted to show you this combination of polishes that you can still easily find.  This is Orly's You're Blushing and I topped it with OPI's  Pirouette My Whistle.  We all know I love those greyed lavenders, but I love this one because most of the ones I own are blue undertoned and (to me) this has a red undertone.  I think it results in the polish leaning more to the lavender on me than grey, unlike some of the other lavenders of this type.

You're Blushing was part of Orly's Cool Romance collection in Spring 2012 but recently, after Orly updated their bottles, Sally's Beauty included this in their core line. It applied very easily and the pictures are two coats.  I love the name of it too, because it evokes that first stage of a spring fling when everything is new and you melt over every sweet thing they say.  I'm a romantic...it's not a surprise. 

Pirouette My Whistle was part of OPI's NYC Ballet Collection also in 2012, but is still at Ulta in their core line.  I just love how soft and subtle this glitter is!  I initially got the mini collection and loved Pirouette My Whistle so much I had to have a full size bottle!  The 'larger' glitters are sparse and I had to fish a few out of the mini bottle, so this is two coats also.

  
Thank you for stopping by and for the support so far, it means so much to us!  Have a great day!
