Orly Once Upon A Time Collection for Fall 2009

Pity you don’t have Enchanted Forest! It’s the only one from this collection I have, and it’s the gorgeous dark-green-but-not-too-black creme I wanted it to be.

Along with the colors (especially Pixie Dust) I really like the theme and the names of this collection — I don’t usually buy Orly (I’m trying desperately to limit myself before the collection takes over too much space), but these are oh, so tempting!

I have ordered Pixie Dust & Enchanted Forest from Ebay. Those were my faves from the collection, also the only ones where I was pretty sure I didn’t have any dupes.

I have three out of the six in this collex, including Enchanted Forest. And at first I had some issues with them, including how hard they were to apply and how streaky they were. But the more I used them, the better they turned out to be. That, and when I first picked them up (it was on the last day of July), the weather was crazy muggy hot (like weather in Iowa during the summer usually is). It’s cooled down a bit since then.

My Sally’s only carried four of these (Enchanted Forest, Prince Charming, Happily Ever After, and Poison Apple), but I picked up those first three because I thought of Poison Apple as too safe for my liking.

Hi Kelly:

Love Pixie Dust and the pale blue coating and how the light just sparkles from your nails; like you said, “sugar coated,” but my fave,”Prince Charming because it’s a lovely, “melted chocolate brown flavor” color. It’s l like you dipped your gorgeous nails in melted chocolate and they dried perfectly.The others ones look pretty on your nails but don’t “speak to me,” like yesterday’s OPI Suede, but that’s another story. (BTW: I am still trying to see when Trade Secret has those OPI suede),

I am amazed at how the nail colors in the olden days have gone from just reds and pinks and have exploded in every color and how wearing black was taboo just reserved for the fearless who would wear it. Now we have black, brown, lavender purples, and how the mattes have gone from just men’s manicures (so they would not look like they were wearing shiny clear nail polish, to mattes for all colors. I love this.

((((((Love Kelly)))))

I want Prince Charming and Happily Ever After. Prince Charming looks particularly lovely on you. I really love the charms that come with them. I haven’t bought any yet. They are on my list.
