Orly - Partial Collection
I didn't purchase all the colors in this collection and ya know what? I should've. I have four out of the 6 colors. Not sure what I was thinking! I'll track them down and see if I can find them around here in AZ. Oh...trip to my fave nailpolish supply store. WOO HOO!
As always, click to enlarge the pics.

This is the color that drew me to the collection - my love of dark nail polish. This is very deceptive as it's so dark blue it's almost black...and it's not remotely navy in the slightest! There is a slight shimmer as you can barely see in the forefinger and pinky of the picture on the right.
Golden Jubilee - Outdoors no flash (L)
Golden Jubilee - Indoors with flash (R)
I've never been a fan of orange colored nail polish and this was more sheer than opaque. I was a bit confused since I don't really do sheers. I thought I didn't do the nail polish right...and applied 4 coats. haha. Joke was on me. It wasn't a very flattering color on me.
Mandalay Ruby - Indoors with Flash (L)
Mandalay RubyOutdoors, overcast (R)
Yea, baby...this red was gorgeous! A red creme that I had no problems in applying. A definite keeper in my book.
Midnight Star - No flash, outdoors (L)
Midnight Star - Flash, indoors (R)
A very pretty silver frost blend....absolutely gorgeous!
Sea Of Light - Shade (L); Sunlight (R)
Really not a color for me...a little too bright pink coral on me. I'll be honest, prettier in the bottle than on me.
Golden Maharaja - Shade (L); Sunlight (R)
I thought I'd love this color...but I didn't. :( I can't even put into words how much this color disappointed me. Application was a pain thanks to some bristles that were wonky, the forumula was too runny and streaky. I was thisclose to not even swatching it.
