Heya people! Whoa. You have no idea how many pictures I have prepared for you and are just piling on the computer, because I don't have the time to post them. Sucks! I had an exam today, I hope it went well. Came home, changed my mani and now I'm half way through the door already to my dance practise. No rest for the wicked.
I remembered I haven't shown you the two Orlys I got a while ago yesterday, as I was admiring my Nite Owl mani. Nite Owl is one of the varnishes I actually wear ... you know, more than once. There is something so nice and clean and subtle on it. Fowl Play on the other hand is the big bird showing off of this collection. Look at me, all beautiful and gorgeous and FLAKIED. Yeah. So imagine my surprise when I put it on and wasn't over the moon about it. Don't get me wrong, it's a stunning colour, but it didn't rock my world as much as I thought it will. Nite Owl is the quiet winner of this collection in my humble opinion.
The most gorgeous part of Fowl Play is the blue glitter. I love that SO much on this polish! It's not nearly as visible on the pictures as it is on the nail. What I don't like is the tricky application, my nails look thick, I really dislike that effect. Still ... eh, you know, it's a totally gorgeous colour, one can't help but think that. I just didn't see fireworks wearing it. Three coats.
My little beauty. Nite Owl. BTW, how can a nail polish not be awesome, if it's named after owls?! I love it. I totally didn't think I will love it so much, but I do. It looks so much better on nails than in the bottle, and there is nothing wrong with how it looks in the bottle either! Three coats, after the second I still had bold spots. Perfect formula though!
BTW ... wouldn't this pic be PERFECT for Orly's display on this collection? I'd probably buy the entire collection if I saw this as the official promo picture. :D
xD It's probably an old joke with this collection, I'm just months behind, like usually, so if i'm the only one chuckling, it's understandable. ;)
These two are a part of Orly Birds of a Feather Collection for Fall 2011. A rather strong collection, IMO, with two more neat colours, but as I have similar blue foil and jade green creme, I passed on the other two. Fowl Play and Nite Owl are totally worth buying though!
Did you get any colours from this collection?
Thank you for reading!
Beautiful photos of beautiful polishes!
ReplyDeleteI think I eventually ended up with all of this collection, even the peachy one I don't think I'll ever wear, because once I get most of a collection my brain really, really wants to complete it. I wonder if there's a support group for that... :)
Lol, KarenD, I understand the urge. Complete collections are such a nice sight. :D
Deleteželim oba *.*
ReplyDeleteNisu teški za dobit, bar kako je znam. :) Lijepa sta, da!

Hey Nico, welcome to my blog. :) I checked yours and LOVED the different themes and pictures, I can't wait to grab a minute and read some more. :)
Deletehihihihi sploh mi ni potegnil glede slikce dokler nisem vsega prebrala! :D super kjut! :)
ReplyDeleteTale Night Owl zgleda čist hud. Eden tistih lakov, ki mi kar mal sapo vzamejo, ko vidm slike tvojih nohtov. Pa že tko sem mal obsedena z mat laki...
Fowl play me pa na nekaj močno spominja, pa se ne morm spomnit na kaj! O.o
Drgač Night Owl ni mat, je čisto rahlo rahlo sparkly. Ampak tak subtilen lak, prelep je. Je pa podoben v kombinaciji s srebrnim shimmerjem kot Veruška, ki ti je ful všeč, tako da opažam vzorec. ;)
DeleteFowl Play je sicer dupe enga iskanega OPIja, Merry Midnight, al neki takega. Če pa misliš non-varnish je pa mene zmeraj spomnil na slivovo marmelado.
Ups, se vid, da sem cisti rookie. :D Uau, zdej boš počas lahko sestavla moj psihološki profil glede na barve lakov! :D
DeleteNe, ni mi slivova marmelada, mislm, da sem točno tako barvo vidla že v nekem pohištvu al kaj pa vem... sej ni važn!
Če sem čisto iskrena, sem imela zelo podbne občutke, ko sem prvič namazala Fowl Play. Od takrat ga nisem več nosila. :-S Nite Owl pa izgleda čudovito, ampak ga (ŠE) nimam v svoji zbirki. ;)
ReplyDeleteHehe, zanimivo, da nas je več takih, sem mislila, da sem edini tak čudak. :D
DeleteGorgeous polishes!! I really like how Nite Owl looks
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear!
Deletethey are reallyy pretty ^^ where do you buy orly polishes?
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I don't buy them, I get them in swapping from USA. :)
DeleteFowl play is stunning! Same with nite owl!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly!
Deletei only got fowl play but i really like nite owl too its so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's really gorgeous. :)
Delete9gag addict much? :)
ReplyDeleteOrlyići su slin slin, želim oba, a Fowl play mi je ljepši, mada Night Owl ima savršeno ime!!!
Hm, a šta je 9gag? :) O da, Night OWL, zakon ime. :D
DeleteSo far I have only purchased Fowl Play but my Winners still has the rest of them in stock so I've been debating going back for them. On a side note, my sister always calls Orly "Oh really" (she honestly thought that's how you said it at first, now she calls it that as a joke) so when I saw that owl picture I nearly fell over in hysterics. Too funny! Thanks for a good laugh and beautiful swatches. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, awesome! Glad to make you laugh. :D
DeleteThese are the two from the collection I picked up. They are so fabulous. Fowl Play is really fun but can make my nails look really short. Night Owl makes my top 10 polish purchases of this year. Soooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Fowl Play does something funny to the nails. Mine really looked thick, weird!
DeleteWhat a coincidence! Fowl Play is on my nails now and I wasn't impressed as I thought I would be. My issues were the same as yours, the application was kind of a pain. I had to do 3 coats and the formula wasn't easy to manipulate because it's kind of jelly-like, I guess. When I use this again, I will definitely layer it over a dark base so it doesn't look so thick.
ReplyDeleteI have Nite Owl as well but sadly wasn't a fan. The color itself is gorgeous but looks terrible on my skin tone, just does nothing for it. Which was a major disappointment but oh well :(
It looks super pretty on you!
Also...my husband always calls Orly O RLY. Hehehe :)
Oh yes, layer the thing! Thanks for the idea, I'll totally do that!
DeleteOba sta fantatsična!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Dobra promo fotka bi to bila, ja :D
Ane? :) Jaz bi omrla od smeha. xD Prav zares bi še tisto breskvasto grozoto kupila, če bi kaj takega videla na netu. :D
DeleteThat night owl is pretty-reminds me of Cult Nails (can't remember the name) from their new collection
ReplyDeleteReally? I don't follow much of Cult collections, I'm afraid. They're just too hard to get for me. :/
DeleteThat picture is hilarious! I got Fowl Play and Sea Gurl from this collection, but I really loved them all, which is rare for me. I still see them in my Ulta...I might go back and grab more.
ReplyDeleteNite owl will not disappoint you, if only you like at least a bit colours like that - I'm generally not a fan of taupe colours, but this one is just awesome.
