Chocolate Martini is not actually chocolatey in colour as the name suggests but is more of a coppery bronze highlighted with golden flecks. And it is utterly beautiful especially as it sparkles in the light. I wore Chocolate Martini to work last week and, among other things, I loved the surprising versatility of it as it worked well with orange, nude and red lipsticks - not that I go around holding my hands up to my lips all the time! I applied this in two smooth coats and had no difficulty with the little brush. It's pretty durable too and I got through the week with only minor tip wear.
I believe this polish is only available in the mini range which doesn't bother me as a polish whore but means a backup would be required if you really love it...

A great color on you, lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria :) This is even lovelier and livelier in real life! xo
DeleteWhat a surprising color for a chocolate! Though, perhaps the martini addition gives it more free license :) I'm definitely feeling fall here!
ReplyDeleteIt's a transseasonal A/W colour for sure! I agree with you on the name too - obviously more about a martini than chocolate. Not that I've ever seen a chocolate martini either! xo
DeleteGorgeous shade! I nominated you for an award! http://passionforpolish.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/appreciation-award.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment and the award :) xo
DeleteIt's so coppery! Very autumn leaves, I think. Ah, fall. I really like summer once it gets here, but fall is definitely my favorite season!
ReplyDeleteFall is a lovely season for us too - lots of warm (not too hot) sunny days and stable weather. I remember I was a fall bride and we had the most perfect day for our wedding :) Memories....
DeleteLovely fall shade! I'm noticing that Orly has some remarkable autumn/winter colours. :)
ReplyDeleteI love my little collection of Orlys - amazingly they're pretty hard to come by down here! OPI (and to a lesser extent) Essie have the salon brand market pretty well covered down here. xo
DeleteI think this is one of those shades you can't go wrong with - the sparkle/shimmer is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey! It's great for this time of year and I'll always love a bit of sparkle :) xo
