Yo!
Orly recently released a new collection called Once Upon A Time for fall 2009. I don’t have the entire collection unfortunately, the best one, Enchanted Forest is missing as well as Mirror Mirror, so sorry about that!
Pixie Dust
Pixie Dust is an awesome pale blue/grey with silver shimmer. It almost looks sugar coated, which I love! This was three coats.
Price Charming is a dark taupe creme with a “mushroom” effect that you guys know I love! We have seen a  few colors similar to this, but I think this one is slightly darker than most of the others. This was three coats because it was a little sheer.
Poison Apple is a vivid red creme that has a lot of orange in it. Pretty, but not particularly original. Great name though, it’s perfect. This was two coats.
Happily Ever After is a berry purple shimmer. The shimmer isn’t totally in your face, but it’s definitely there. I liked this a lot because it’s different. This was three coats.
I can’t really give my usual “overall” statement because I am missing possibly the two best colors in this collection, but from what I reviewed here, it’s a great collection and worth getting at least 3 or 4 of. This should be available really soon and you can find them here for $7.50 each.
Will you be getting any of these?

I have Enchanted Forest on right now with the orly matte top cot over and it’s AMAZING!!!!!! It’s such a pretty color – dark but you can for sure tell it’s green and it applied like a dream!
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.
I have Enchanted Forest too, and let me tell you it’s seriously awesome. I’m not even really a green lover, but this color is just incredibly gorgeous and deep. I’m interested in Pixie Dust too. Nice job, Orly!

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!
You gotta get Enchanted Forest, it’s gorgeous! I really want Mirror, Mirror, it’s the only I’m missing! This is a great collection 🙂

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.
maybe..Happily Ever After?
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.

Enchanted Forest and Pixie Dust are the winners to me.
Ahhh! My polish collection is expanding too rapidly! Must stop it from growing!
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 have never used Orly before. I would like a new grey polish. I have MAC on the prowl, but I don’t like the formula too much. Should I get Pixie dust or Mirror Mirror if I were to pick another grey?? Does orly last a decent amount of time?
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.
