ORLY Royal Navy is a must have :) I love how super bright it is, it gets so many compliments! It wasn't fully opaque on me after 3 coats so next time I would wear a nail foundation. The only problem I had was the tiny blue glitter settles in areas of the bottle and is very hard to get it to move from there, so there wasn't much that came out. I shaked and shaked and left it for a bit but didn't want to move! Did any of you find that? Otherwise it is a top colour and love it :)

Orly Goth and Kleancolor Blind Date
This was fun to wear :) Orly Goth is an old fave of mine - a black creme with silver glitter. This is two coats and it dries pretty quickly. I had it on and thought Kleancolor Blind Date might work with it, and I like it. The stars stayed on very well and the clear base it came in dried in average time. It looks uneven in the photos but wasn't noticeable irl. The stars weren't too hard to get out and easy enough to move into place :) some of the stars have imperfections like the silver star on my pinky but it is good for a cheap nail polish, most of them are fine :)

Orly SeaGurl from the Birds of a Feather Collection
The formula in the Birds of a Feather Collection is awesome. This is 2 thin coats, but 1 thick coat would be plenty. This didn't chip easily and I like the finish. This is less foil-like than Sweet Peacock and looks a lot like those woodless graphite pencils. It also seems very slightly brown toned. I like it more than I thought I would :) Also excuse the condition of my nails, I had acrylics put on while I was being a client/practise model for someone at our beauty school and took them off on the same day. They aren't too bad but they are peeling from having them removed and buffed down to nothing :)

ORLY Sweet Peacock from Birds of a Feather Collection
I love this! It is a super bright blue, brighter than these pictures. The formula is amazing, it is a one coater :) There is the smallest hint of green in this blue. I got a lot of compliments on this as it is really bright and looks amazing in light. I would love if ORLY had other colours in this finish - let me know if they do! I would definately wear this on a night out with a nice black dress :) Chipping time was pretty average. It doesn't make me look so lobster in real life either ;) It's not a unique colour and finish for a nail polish, but it is a keeper!

ORLY Nite Owl
I love that silver shimmer :) This is Orly Nite Owl from the new Birds of a Feather collection. I am so impressed with the formula on this one, I applied it terribly (late at night and tired >.<) and it evened out itself really well. One finger I put a giant blob of it on top of still wet first coat, I was sure it would turn out horrible but it smoothed out so easily. Dry time was quick. These pics are taken 3 days after I put it on. I used OPI Chip skip and base coat with no top coat and it still looks ok. Colour wise it's not the right tone for me but I still admire it :)

ORLY Fowl Play from Birds of a Feather Collection
The last thing I expected from Orly was a dark red based purple jelly with opal flakes and blue glitter - how awesome!
This is 3 coats though I should have left it at 2, it looked more jellyish and less dark. The formula was a bit thick so it was a little hard to apply around the edges and above the cuticles. I'd be surprised if anyone had a dupe thats for sure, though it would be easy enough to franken if you have an Nfu-Oh like number 49, a dark purple jelly, and a little blue glitter. The blue really makes it unique, it's so pretty :)
It chipped easily for me though so I recommend using a good top coat :) I also want to try Nite Owl from this collection, it looks beautiful!
