orly cosmic fx preview

**this post is being re-uploaded from being posted previously july 20th**

i was shocked and awed to come home tuesday to find this package waiting for me. orly's HUGELY highly anticipated fall collection, Cosmic FX (a.k.a. Cosmix). i'll have full swatches done for you soon, but wanted to give you a preview until they get done :)

ORLY introduces its latest addition to its portfolio of textured finishes with Cosmic FX. The new, limited-edition collection delivers multi-dimensional flashes of intense shimmering shine that is so electrifying your nails will explode with color! This lighting phenomenon is achieved by ORLY’s exclusive MINERAL FX technology.

The innovation infuses natural rock minerals, crystals, and glass to give nails a special optical effect with extreme luster, rich pearlescence, and a smooth, sparkling spectrum of concentrated color.

The MINERALFX technology includes specialty mica, that allows for a clearer, vibrantly bright lustrous shimmer. Crystals allow for a multi-dimensional color transformation. Glass particles carefully controlled in shape and size create a luminous phenomenon. This combination infused with the Silica and specific colors selected create this exclusive technology that gives nails a unique optical effect that’s magnified as the lighting source intensifies or viewing angle changes.

BB couture cantina nights pt. 2

here are the rest of the polishes from the summer collection from bb couture :D

tequila sunrise is the perfect coral with nice gold shimmer. aww reminds me of an ulta polish i have somewheres...but this formula is amazing. how have i been living without knowing this brand?! two coats.

hangover blues was one of my favorites from the collection. a gorgeous pale blue reminiscent of the lovely light blues we've seen in the past like china glaze's for audrey or diamond cosmetics' oh tiff! but i think this is more opaque and more turquoise and more yellow? like toothpaste almost haha. idk, i definitely don't have an artist's eye haha. the best thing about this polish is the slight shimmer. i tried to capture it in lamp light with a color drop photo below. this is three coats.

grasshopper was the first polish asked to be borrowed by a friend haha. a gorgeous bright and cheerful summery green with hefty amounts of glitter throughout, this baby makes me want to run and jump and play and not work all day! four coats for this guy.

there are four more polishes in this collection: kamikaze, dirty mother, adios mo fo, and cosmopolitan. LOVE the names and i totally want the polishes of course! have you gotten the chance to order these yet? i think my favorite out of the bunch is probably pina colada with hangover blues as a close second.
