Orly Nail Lacquer Review

I love my orly nail laquer. I have Shimmering Mauve. It is a lovely colour and is easy to apply. The 'grippy' top makes application comfortable and simple so I don't spread it onto my fingers! It comes in an 18ml bottle that lasts for ages.

I use two layers between a base coat and a top coat (or Orly Top2Bottom for both). It dries quickly and it doesn't easily chip or fade.

At around $18 per bottle, I think it is good value and I would recommend it to my friends.

I LOVE Orly! I don't have many but those I do have are fantastic - Luxe, Dazzle, Royal Navy and Fancy Fuschia. I have had these polishes for about 3 or 4 years now and the formula is still perfect, no gloopiness or dried polish on the rim. All polishes go on smoothly and easily, the brush is good, and it only takes 2 coats for a nice finish. Well worth the money if you spot a colour you really like, the bottles are quite large so you definitely get your moneys worth.

Great polish! So similar to opi but without the price tag. They have a great range of colours an have mini sizes too. The rubber cap also helps for gripping.

There are some great colours in the Orly range, and they are a decent price. I really like the rubberised cap as it makes the brush easy to use.

this is by far one of the best nail polish brands out thea. they have a longer shelf life than most nail polishes and cheaper than the likes of opi. amazing colours and do on so easy

Incredible colours. Affordable price. Long lasting, minimal chipping power and doesn't destroy your nails! This is my all time favourite product to use on my nails. My above comments honestly say it all - I mean what's not to love?! My all time "I'm so in love with this shade" is Oh Cabana Boy. I am a pink-a-holic and I idolise this colour. It work's on any skin shade and looks incredible. It's a metallic/ shimmery shade of hot pink. A fabulous summery colour or if you're anything like me - All year round. It's also fantastic because you can have it as intensely bright or as light as you desire. Two coats is my choice of tone. I find that it take a good 4-5 days before I notice any significant chipping. And I am really slack with using gloves for dishes or moisturising my hands regularly. Orly's Nail Lacquer will always be my top choice when I want to treat myself to buying something new for myself which I can re-use and re-use regularly xxx

I have been fortunate that my nans beauty therapist friend moved back to England and gave me her salon supply of nail polishes. The reason I love these polishes is that the consistency isn't too runny and is thick enough to glide on smoothly. It doesn't have a harsh chemical smell like the cheaper branded polishes and leaves a perfect finish. I have many shades of this and my favourites would have to be haute red which is bright and vibrant and 360 flip which is a purple tone. The bonus about these polishes is that they are quick drying and don't chip as easy. It leaves a streak free finish to the nails and top it off with a gloss top coat you have the perfect finish to your nails.

I have quite a few now from this brand and I would happily buy more. The colour are bright and vibrant and the smaller bottle and cheaper price (when comparing it to OPI) makes it a great purchase. It does need a topcoat because after a few days without one it will start to chip, as most polishes do. Would definitely recommend trying this brand.

I really like the convenient size of the smaller bottles that are available from Orly however I don't like the formula all that much. I have had Orly in a couple of colours- a midnight blue colour (unsure what its called), a jade green and a purple called Lollipop. The jade green was alright after a couple of coats but I don't really like the application of the polish overall- its quite streaky and difficult to make look professional. It also chips really quickly :( . I typically buy these in the mini bottles so I do wonder whether the smaller brush is what is causing the application to be streaky

I have a bright pink orly polish and I love the colour! I do find that even with a top coat applied it is prone to chipping after a few days.
