‘Sand Castle’ ORLY Nail Lacquer on my Nails

I’m still working with the nude-ish tone when it comes to nail polishes. I had considered sporting a darker one but finally deciding on this soft brown-sorta-pink-ish hue from ORLY Nail Lacquer called Sand Castle (Shimmer).

The last nail polish I had on didn’t really last that long since I’ve been “roughing it” during the trip. Hey, I carried around 17kgs worth of luggage down a flight of narrow stairs and such. Ha. And I have to admit, I wasn’t particularly mindful of my nails then, didn’t care if they got chipped or snagged. I reckon the *tomboy* in me came out a bit. Just a bit, okay! Defensive much? Ack. LOL.

Anyway, I love shimmers in my nail polish. I like them shiny. I really can’t explain why but, for now, let’s just say that it’s personal preference.

I’m noticing that I’ve been opting for a lot of ORLY Nail Lacquers whenever I visit the salon to get my nails done. I reckon I can’t help it if they seem to have a very interesting and wide collection of colours I can choose from. And these nail lacquers seem to last longer than most of the previous nail polishes I’ve tried.

“Tie the Knot” Orly Nail Lacquer on my Nails

Sasha Manuel — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 04:01:46 +0000

After my affair with dark nail polish, I’m now venturing into more nude-ish shades. Quite practical really since I am now headed to Vietnam and Cambodia right this very minute and will be there for the rest of this week. I treated myself to a manicure and pedicure last night, for both hygienic and aesthetic purposes. The trip I’m taking is a bit rugged so I need a polish that’s not too bold and is easy to maintain. I mean, if my nails do chip or something, it won’t show that much unlike if I had dark polish on.

I like how feminine-looking the colour is and that it’s simple. It’s Orly Nail Lacquer Tie the Knot. It’s available in eBay for only $3.49 plus shipping.

‘Naughty’ Orly Nail Lacquer on my Nails

Oh, the vanities of women. What we do on our bodies sometimes. Painting our faces and nails in various colours. It’s a little funny when you think about it. LOL.

Anyway, I’ve been quite hooked on dark nail polish lately and I just wanted to show you guys what I had the manicurist do on mine last week. I scheduled this appointment cuz of the event I had to go to Friday night. I’m currently sporting a ‘Naughty’ colour from Orly Nail Lacquer. I found the colour sleek and gorgeously dark and I loved it!

I’m not the type to go for the matte nail polish. I’ve always preferred them with shimmer. I had considered a bronze shimmer second coat, mix it with the Orly Nail Lacquer but decided against it in the end. I thought I’d be a daredevil and try the polish alone. Good thing cuz I loved the result! The glossy finish didn’t make the nail polish look blah and cheap-looking, which was something I feared it would turn out. I’m now even considering buying my own bottle! Er, well, if I’m not too lazy to apply it myself. More often than not I leave my nails to a specialist. I’m that vain. Heh.

So, what do you guys think?
