It's one of those weird little 'themes' I've been unknowingly following - I've just realized that this is the third consecutive nail polish post featuring an Australian brand. It's a happy accident so I'll just go with that - and maybe dig out another right after I write this post?! Who knows?? Anyway let me tell you about this polish before I get too sidetracked!
Orchid is one of the many polishes I have lurking around from Australian discount brand Ulta3, where you can still buy a bottle of nail polish for less than the price of a takeaway coffee. Just choose your vice for the day - coffee or a new polish - or not choose and have both! Tangents...I'm going off on tangents today... Getting back to the point, Orchid is true to its name as it is a sumptuous looking polish, and quite an exotic shade of deep purple, with an underlying rich pink shimmer throughout. Because this is such an inexpensive polish ($3 I think?) I did expect this to be sheer but two coats of colour were enough for full coverage, and I finished with the usual top coat.

Until next time, my nubbies and I bid you adieu!
Looks beautiful, I love purples. I need to try more Ulta3 nail polishes !
ReplyDeleteThe formula can be a little inconsistent but this one was a winner :)
DeleteOhhh such a pretty colour!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed! It reminds me ever so slightly of Chanel Taboo - at a fraction of the price!
DeleteThis is a really pretty purple! Nubbies haha that's what I'm calling my always short nails from now on!
ReplyDeleteHello from my nubbies to your nubbies! *waves*
DeleteNice! I love these shades come cooler weather. My dupe of this is a Revlon Gel Envy shade. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always reaching for something like this when the weather turns gloomy - there's something about winter and vampy nails!
DeleteI like this kind of purple colour, nice and mysterious! I wouldn't forgo my daily coffee for it, I'd be the kind to buy this as well ;) I really like this nail length on you
ReplyDeleteAt that price I'm with you there Emma - both are an affordable indulgence! I'm enjoying my shorter nails at the moment so thank you for the compliment! :-)
