Orly Nite Owl

Hello Ninjas!

It's been cloudy, rainy, and chilly here this week! Today is the first day we've had proper sunlight since Saturday! I enjoy fall weather but I'm not really a fan of the rain that comes with it in the south. Ah well, at least it's not melt-your-face hot anymore.

Today's manicure is two coats of Orly Nite Owl from their super popular Birds of a Feather collection that brought us Fowl Play. While Fowl Play was busy being hailed as a fantastic dupe for the much sought OPI Merry Midnight, most of the other colors were forgotten, especially this nude shimmer. Since the collection has left stores, I've been wishing I'd picked up Nite Owl and I finally got in a swap with a lovely lady. Now that I have it, I love it! Minus the holographic particles, this is actually a dupe for butter LONDON All Hail (Mc)Queen which is on my lemming list still. This is a wonderful neutral color that isn't plain or blah; love it!

Just an update

I don't want to fall out of the blogging habit so I'm posting a pictureless update. I just re-did my nails today with Funky Fingers' Kenyan Sunset which is a nice dark purple holo. This is an amazing polish for less than $2 and it only took one coat for full coverage.  I probably would have kept wearing Jade forever but I figured that would stop my posting so I had to change the color!

After three days of wear there were absolutely no chips, cracks, or scuffs Jade looked wonderful. I saw on another blog that one girl wears green on test days for luck, I think I'll do the same with Jade because it wore soooo well. I'm also convincing my friends that nail colors can be green without meaning it's Christmas time.

From reading other blogs I've seen the world lemming list or lemming come up which doesn't make too much sense in context because lemming is an animal.... I've gathered the nail polish meaning to be something/color you would love to have in your collection that is hard to find or discontinued. So, I have my first lemming! Going through Tronica reviews I saw them often compared the China Glaze's OMG Collection. Well I liked Laser Lime when I saw it but I absolutely ADORE L8R G8R from the OMG collection! I've seen it online for $10 and am not sure I can get myself to spend that much on one polish when I've paying two or less on all my others.... We'll see what happens.

Happy Polishing!
