While binge-buying spring and summer nail collections a few weeks back, I absolutely could not pass up Orly's Melrose 4PC Mini Kit. As a SoCal gal, the shade range just oozedwalking in LA, palm tree, toes in the sand vibes {so apropos given the collection name}, and felt like such a necessary purchase. Bottom line: I dug the entire quartet, and am pretty confident you will too. Swatch time!
Window Shopping is a Blazing Magenta Creme. How fun is the name of this shade? It makes me think of day trips to Rodeo Drive. And the color itself? Lush! I plan on using Window Shopping as a pedi shade when the weather warms up; but for now, it's stunning on the tips. The berry undertones make it ultra-versatile across seasons; while the nearly-neon satin finish is straight-up posh! To give it a glossy look you def need to add top coat, which also works to brighten the shade. This was a surprise favorite for me, and my top pick from the quartet. This is 1 1/2 coats.
Feel The Funk is a Lilac Shimmer with Scattered Holographic Glitter. Ermagersh ladies this color is killing me! It just oozes thoughts of unicorns and rainbows and magic, amiright?! Feel The Funk applies semi-sheer, but builds to opacity lightning fast, making it a total breeze to work with! This is 2 coats.
Hip & Outlandish is an Electric Teal Creme. Shades like this make me go ooh - especially during the summer months; and what you're seeing isn't nearly as vibrant as it appears IRL, because Hip & Outlandish is a true prob to photograph. Nevertheless, it's one of my fave shades from this quartet, and a true stunner to work with. Like Window Shopping, Hip & Outlandish dries down to a dark, satin finish, so load up on the top coat to give it a glossy look. This is 2 coats.
Trendy is a Crystal-Flecked Neon Peach. Ladies, I am in complete and total L-O-V-E with this shade because it makes me look hella tan, and is the most perfect nod to summa summa summatime; but OMG it legit refuses to be photographed! Though Trendy looks, overall, like an eye-searing peach, in certain lights the crystal flecks are visible, giving it an extra kick of dimension. Formula here is not bad; though slightly patchy, it reaches opacity and levels nicely. Oddly enough, this one has a slightly textured finish, but a touch of top coat counteracts that. This is 2 1/2 coats.
