Advantages: Great coverage with lasting finish

Disadvantages: N/A

==Intro==

In my mind there's nothing better then a little DIY pamper session, but just because you're doing it yourself doesn't mean you should loose out on quality. Which is why I buy Orly, or more specifically Orly's topcoats, as my Mum (ex-nail technician!) always told - and tells - me, as long as you have a good top coat it doesn't really matter what quality nail varnish you wear underneath. So, for the purpose of the review, this is mainly based on Orly's Topcoat in 'Love Each Other'

==The Brand==

Orly was founded in 1975 by Jeff Pink. Over the past 30+ years Orly have stayed a head of the pack with innovative nail care products and design, winning many beauty awards along the way.
Orlys of products are free from DBP (a plasticizer, banned in the EU) toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin.
Orlys products are so wide ranging, and come in every colour under the rainbow, it's quite breathtaking if you get to a good stockist and see row upon row (or shade upon shade!) of these bottles - or maybe that's just me being a little weird.

==The Product==

Orly's Nail lacquer top coat is a lovely iridescent varnish - with specks of pink and purple glitter giving your nails that little bit of extra glamour and making it perfect to just use solo on your nails for that lovely preened look. The topcoat is very easy to apply, and dries quiet quickly leaving a smooth glossy finish in seconds.
Also I find consistency of the nail varnish perfect, not too watery it kind of gathers along the sides of your nails, and not gloopy so it takes a lot of effort to get good coverage.


==The Packaging==

The lids on the bottles as exclusive to Orly. With special patented gripper rubber it makes the lid easy to screw off, and is perfect to handle while you apply the lacquer.
Other than that packaging is very simple on the Orly bottles. The glass bottom holding the lacquer is quite chunky, fitting nicely into your hands also I find the glass isn't too thick - like on bottles when you thinking you're getting quite a lot of nail varnish to only find you have the worlds thickest glass bottle with about 1ml of nail varnish inside.
The text on the bottle is quite limited too, and the colour of the font changes to suit the shade of varnish inside so it 'pops' out, which in a nice touch and makes even the tiny text on the back easy to read.

==The Results==

The results of Orlys Top Coat is completely flawless, and helps my nails stay chip free for days. Like I've said above this is perfect for use over painted nails, or just on your natural nail to give them a little sparkle!
The only downside of this product, which is kind of mixed with a good side, is the glitter. The specs make it a little difficult to remove - nothing major, you just need to add a bit extra pressure while removing. It isn't a big downside, but I thought it should be noted!

==Pricing==

Prices for Orly nail varnishes differ a lot, I've seen them priced in some places as high as £8, and as low as about £3.50 in others. So, of course, it pays to shop around abit. But I'd happily pay around £7ish for this product, as it's honestly the best top coat I've used and one bottle will easily last you ages!

Summary: The price might be a little high for some, but it's worth every penny.
