Orly Nail Polish in Blushalicious

~About Orly~
Orly Beauty is a professional nail brand, which is trusted by thousands of nail technicians worldwide.
It is one of the nail industry's renowned colour houses, which means Orly seasonally introduces new colours and updates to their permanent collection. They have over 150 shades to choose from.

Orly consists of subtle sheers, vivid crèmes, dazzling shimmers, smooth glitters and the new hottest trend neon.
Orly polish works great on natural fingernails or acrylic nails.

The most important thing of all is Orly's nail polish is free from Dibutyl Phthalate, (DBP for short).
Dibutyl Phthalate is a toxic chemical; it is used as a plasticizer in nail polish, making it a smooth finish, it also makes the nail polish flexible, which can cause chipping.

There are other chemicals called Toluene that is a colourless liquid that is used as a solvent and Formaldehyde that helps to harden the nails. They are also used as a cheap preservative in shampoo, conditioner, shower gels and children's bubble bath.
All these ingredients are linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity and allergies.

Before you buy nail polishes check the ingredients and make sure they are free from the chemicals above.

Orly also has a unique award winning Gripper Cap!

~About the Product and Application~
Blushalicious (code 40324) is one of their Dazzling Shimmers in the Permanent Collection. It comes in an 18ml bottle and will see you though many manicures and pedicures.

The brush is just as important as the actual polish, the brush is quite long and once applied onto the nail it 'fans' out for even coverage.

Personally I would say Orly polishes are close to OPI quality.

I found when I applied the polish and left to dry it didn't take that long. It is best to apply 2 - 3 thin coats (apply more if needed) than one thick coat.

As I am a Mum of a young baby my hands are always in and out of water. This polish kept the shine for a good 7+ days. No chipping and no sign of wear. As long as you use a good base, top coat and don't abuse your nails it will be brilliant for you.

~Where to buy and Price of Product~
You can buy Orly from eBay but just remember what you see on eBay might not be the actual product but a fake. So please be careful.

Otherwise for peace and mind either see your local nail technician who stocks Orly or go to their website http://www.orlybeauty.com/find_store.php and find a store near you.
The price for Orly polishes can differ from place to place. Ranging from £4.99 upwards.

~Packaging~
The packaging is good. Their award winning gripper cap I personally think is great and I haven't seen this on any other nail polish brands. At the top of the cap there is the letter 'O' for Orly.
The bottle is a great size and you will get many manicures and pedicures out of it. At the back of the bottle it gives you directions on how to apply and what you can use with it e.g. base coat etc.
At the bottom of the bottle it gives you the list of ingredients (underneath the sticker where it says peel here). Name and code of the polish.

~Would I buy again?~
Defiantly I want to try more colours. :-) a winner for me.

Summary: You will love them all.
