Orly ~ Temptress
A
deep red wine shade with gold shimmer.
This polish is from Orly's Holiday 2009 collection,
Femme Fatale, which comes as a set of three. I only bought this one, and I got
it quite recently, so it’s still available online.
There are polishes that are so “ordinary
looking” that they sit in the box longer than the others, waiting to be
applied. “Temptress” is such a colour, and that’s a shame, because it *is* a very
pretty colour once it’s been painted on.
It’s a deep red with shimmer, and it’s a
dream to apply. The formula is very nice to work with too: No stripes or
streaks when applied. I’m imagining that this would be a lacquer that’s good
for stamping too, since it’s relatively opaque after just one coat.
This is two coats – no top coat.
I did actually stamp on the nails too, but I’ve
seriously got to work on my stamping technique.

I’m going to put up a pic even
though I’m so not satisfied with it. Then I can always go back and look at it
later, and hopefully see how I improved over time. :D

I love deep reds, it looks gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteTHis is not that bad for your first stamping try! Did you see my tutorial? Line up the design with the side of your nail and roll it on to get them all lined up-keep practicing-it gets better and easier!!
ReplyDelete@ Sandra ~ I really like the deepness of this red too, thanks.:)
ReplyDelete@ Fingers ~ I did see your tutorial yes, thanks. :)
I think the problem was that the polish kind of dried too quickly (or me not working fast enough :D )
I know what you mean about average looking in the bottle but pretty on the nail! I've never tried stamping, but I think you've done a great job :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I promise to practice to get better. :D
ReplyDeleteSuperb collection. Commendable post.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that colour, it looks really elegant. Your stamping is good I think! You'll easily get the hang of it :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you. I know that all I have to do is practice, practice and then practice some more. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the red polish, and I love how you did the star stamp in white, even if you don't like it that much I still think it's pretty awesome looking!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Part of my problem was, that the stamping colour was a bit pale blue, opposed to white. :/ I kept this on for a day, then I had enough of it. :D
