Orly Smartgels Glowstick and Purple Crush Swatches



Hi there everyone! Today I have some awesome new Gel polishes from Orly.
Orly have a great smart gel range to choose from here in Australia. I have swatched a few of their gels in the past. You can check out all the Orly gels I have swatched in the past Here.  
today's 2 I have to share I was super excited about!! Firstly Let me explain the Orly Neon polishes are just amazing and one of my lemmings has been Glowstick a highlighter neon yellow polish, but every time I go to buy it I find it is out of stock. so when I saw that Orly now have released it in gel format I Squealed in delight! Along with Glowstick today I have Purple crush to share as well. This is a bright neon purple gel which is eye blinding neon. 
Both of these neon gels were swatched over a white gel base to show the true potential of the neon colour, tho I have swatched without a white base and you will just need to do an extra cured layer of the colour.


Lets look at these amazing gels!!!

Glowstick- Is a highlighter yellow neon creme gel polish. It is super bright and glows under black light as well. Formula was awesome and over white gel I only needed 1 coat of the yellow. By itself you would need 2-3 coats so you do not get a VNL. I liked it over white as it really made the colour pop.

Purple Crush-  Is a bright purple neon creme gel polish. The colour is amazing on and I found it was great for gel nail art. The formula was great and I used 2 coats over white gel. You would need 3 coats if you were not using a white gel base. The gel also glows under black light. I decided to create some nail art with this colour. For the first mani I did polka dots with glowstick and with the second I brushed on purple crush over glowstick with a thing nail art brush.

Orly Smartgel- sheer nude swatch


Hi there everyone! Firstly..... Happy Mothers Day!!!! my beautiful girls brought me a Lush Honey Farm gift pack...which smells AMAZING!!!! I will have to review it for everyone!!!!

Ok so today I am sharing with you a sheer gel colour from Orly smart gels. Sheer Nude is perfect if you are looking to do a french manicure, or if you are looking to get the lace effect  your nails. as I think it would be a great base for both. I used 5 coats fo these swatches,just to see if I could get opacity, but in reality you could use 2-3 coats for both of he above techniques. 
I used Vivigel as my base and top coat. I also did a french tip on my index finger to show you how the colour would look as a french mani.

AN Monday- easter with Orly smartgels



Hi there everyone!!! how are you all?? its getting close to easter and this week AN Monday has chosen the theme EASTER!! 
I decided to share with you some Easter nail at using a very pretty yellow gel polish from Orly.
I took Orly smartgel in the colour Hook up! and painted and cured my nails. I used 3 coats to get opaque then finished with a top coat of vivigel. I then wiped off the sticky residue.

Such a pretty colour right??!! Especially for Easter! Then I took Ulta3 bright me, black satin and lily white and hand painted the little chicks and their shells. I waited a good few hours to make sure my polish was completely dry,then I layered over another top coat of vivigel. This way my manicure is protected for the length of the gels on your nails.
