Orly: Life's a Peach

Life's a Peach is the last of my Orly mini collection polishes, and this one unfortunately disappointed me.

Don't get me wrong here, I like the colour and was really looking forward to wearing it - it was the formula that let me down this time.  On the positive side this is a summer-appropriate tangerine with just a hint of shimmer which would look its best with a (fake for me) tan.  Onto the negatives:  I had all sorts of problems applying this polish, which I don't understand as all my other Orly polishes glided on so smoothly.  This polish was a bit thick and gloopy and applied unevenly with bald patches even after three coats.  Luckily some top coat smoothed it out well enough to photograph, but then I went and smudged it badly an hour later so it didn't last long on my nails after that.  Oh well...

    It's gorgeous, I love the bright colour! That sucks about the formula, is there anything you can do to make it less thick?

    Aw, maybe some polish thinner could help? I'm really loving this shade. I haven't seen many like it.

    @Corrina - Thanks, I could try using some thinner drops and see how it goes.

    @Vintage Makeup - Thanks, I really love this shade of orange too! I'll see if some thinner drops fix it.

    @prettymom - I'll try and save it with thinner drops but something tells me it's a bummer polish.

    @hollysagemini - Glad I could be of service! Funnily enough I've got 4 other Orly polishes and they were all fine :-/
