NOTD: Orly's Pure Porcelain

I've decided this week is friends week on the blog. One of the loveliest things about blogging is the genuinely lovely people I have met and so all of my NOTDs this week feature polishes generously given to me by other bloggers. And free polish is the BEST kind of polish there is :D



Today's post is about a colour I could not get out of my mind from the moment I saw it - Orly's Pure Porcelain. I happened to mention this (I think) on twitter and the talented and witty Stacey of Add to Cart  offered to share hers with me. Thank you Stacey  - I love it - squeee!




Prior to this I had not used any Orly polish but I have to say I am impressed. Despite being a nude shade this was quite easy to apply and very opaque. All pictures here were with 2 coats and no top coat (not sure I'd like this with a shiny finish).

Here's the funny thing though, the first time I applied this I hated it on me. So I waited a couple of weeks and chopped my nails down before trying this again and now I love it. This is a colour that is made for short nails - hat's off Orly cos I really love this one now.

Any other Orly colours I need to try?
