Orly-Sweet Peacock

It's been a while since I've worn Orly. Don't know why, besides the fact that I didn't really like their summer collection. *shrugs* Anyway, I'm digging their Fall "Birds of a Feather" collection, so let's get to one of them now.

Sweet Peacock is a medium blue foil. The color is bright. Like, BRIGHT. Indoors and out. You can't help but to notice this polish. I think it looks so much better on the nail than in the bottle, but both are pretty in their own right.

The formula with this was weird. It was thick and it felt like it wanted to be a one coater, but it was streaky. This is two coats. It also dried a bit on the slow side. And maybe this is just me, but this chipped pretty damn quickly. I actually have no problem with chips. I have horrible peeling nails so I'm used to my polish lasting a day. But this one didn't even go a day. A few hours tops. Disappointing because I was adoring it before then.

So pretty, but I really didn't like the chips. Maybe it was my base coat. Who knows? Anyway, it's a beauty. If you don't have nail problems this polish is well worth it. A blue foil? Can never go wrong with that.
