Orly Fresh and Frisky (Happy Go Lucky, Fall 2011)

Some collections scream the season in which they are released. Spring sees a lot of pastels, summer brings out the neons, fall and winter sees a lot more muted shades and vampies, and holidays are often glitterbombs. Never in my life would I have looked at Orly's Happy Go Lucky collection and thought, "Hey, that reminds me of buying No. 2 pencils and a required gym uniform." 

Orly Fresh

This is green creme that has just a tad of jelly to give it the squishy finish. It is, like, a step or two below neon but stops short of it. The first layer makes it look like it'll apply somewhat thickly and unevenly but it looked perfect after only two coats.

Orly Frisky

Sky blue creme. Not as close to neon as Fresh. This one was a bit frustrating. Three coats, somewhat uneven application, and cuticle drag.

    These two names combined make a very cheeky combo :-)

    I have Fresh and can't wait for Spring to wear it again.

    This was a fun threesome set. I really like Frisky - the one not here - a perfect pink.
