For the first day of spring I chose Orly Live Wire. I've never worn a yellow shade before, and I quite like it! Because it is pretty sheer I layered it over China Glaze White on White. I did two coats of White on White (first coat was a little uneven, but it leveled out with second coat), and I followed with 3 coats of Live Wire. Two coats seemed plenty, but I applied a third one to intensify the color even more.
Live Wire is a bright yellow with slightly darker yellow shimmer to it. It's pretty bright, almost bordering on neon, so I hope my patients don't go blind today when I approach them!! LOL It reminds of sunshine rays, and who doesn't love a happy, sunny day??? =))
Formula on this was pretty good. I covered the whole thing with Seche Vite topcoat.

| so of course I'm such a klutz that I bumped my F-U finger before it was dry... and since there was 4 coats of nail polish all together, it was all still soft and gooey, so therefore a dent in my brand new mani... gah! |
Live Wire is part of Orly's High Voltage collection released back in summer of 2008, and it is still widely available at multiple online retailers.
Happy Spring everyone!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
I don't really like neons/ yellows, but this one is amazing! love the sparkle in it! oh if only Orlys weren't so pricy :P
ReplyDeleteOh Nell.. this was such a mistake on my part!! this was waaaay too neon for work!! I like the color though, very appropriate for a sunny SUNDAY haha =)
DeleteTry to look for Orly's online, they're usually a lot cheaper...
I love this color! I've never worn yellow before either and I just picked up a cheapy to try, but I wish I would have gotten this one. The shimmer is gorgeous!! Hope your vacation was great! Your fingers look tan, I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteYes, this one is one pretty color!!!
DeleteAnd I didn't mean to get too much tan.. you know, the whole cancer and wrinkle thing... but Costarican sun is just unbelievable, no SPF is high enough!!!
Hey! What teenager did you steal this polih from? (jkjkjk, I'm catching up on your posts and reading them backwards ;) )
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave to sport a yellow and yet it looks divine!!!!! Maybe not work appropriate but the shimmer is stunning!!!!
I have Chanel's mimosa which is a MISERY to apply... Don't know if I would wear it on its own again but with stamping= big yes.
Yellows can surely boost a mood eh!? Lovely!!!
haha about the teenager part!! I don't think I will ever wear a yellow or neon to work again!! but on the weekend, oh yeah!!
DeleteI'm afraid that people at work would say the same thing about my stamping. Unfortunately =( Closed-minded beauty-hating people!! booo!
