hello. fall collections are my favorite. at first glance, this fall 2018 collection from orly looks downright boring. but swatching these dusty neutrals is a far different story. want creamy one-coat cremes? and a bronze metallic to die for? orly's got your autumn covered. bytheway, i get these fabulous collections via the orly's color pass subscription service. i highly recommend it: for 12-free, cruelty-free polishes, that are not just vegan, but made in the u.s. your one-time yearly fee gets you all four of the year's 6-piece collections for roughly $4/bottle. plus, there are little added bonus gifts in each box. that's responsible polishing. olive you kellyi would classify this khaki green as military. the creme is near perfect. could be a one-coater with a thicker application. i love this shade and the formula is amazing. this polish is your autumn. fall into mei was super disappointed when i saw this shade in the mix. i feel that orly has included a neutral metallic polish in every collection this year. but. but. but. this bronzey shade is amazing. opaque in one coat and i think a better application would avoid the brush strokes. orly keeps surprising me with these sneaky brushed metal looks. trust me: give it a chance. cashmere crisisdon't you want to cozy up in a sweater with this shade all october and november-long? this shade is dusty with a drop of lavender. beautiful in only one coat, this opaque creme is exceptional. nothing you've never seen before, but the formula is the epitome of what you want in any shade. the only crisis here is that you don't have this yet. snuggle uplast week, i offered this neutral as a dupe for essie's famous "topless and barefoot." this gorgeous girl is giving you everything: opacity, creamy near-perfect application, neat and clean. sure to be a stand out of the season, this nude is too pinky for my coloring, but still looks le gorg. mauvelousthis shade looks a bit like a nudey version of my mother's living room curtains from the 1980s. "mauve" indeed. i like the creaminess of this pink/coral shade. all of the polishes in this collection have fantastic formulas, so this is no stand out. where this excels is in the subtle sophistication of the color itself. it should be a classic spinster shade, but instead, this is a modern take on a sentimental favorite. side note, i own another shade from another brand called "mauvelous" that is a dusty purple shade. orly's color is closer to my estimation of the hue. what does "mauve" mean to you? seize the claynot very "clay" looking is the only complaint i have about this pinky-red opaque creme. i live in a place with clay/red earth ... the dirt of which looks nothing like this. never something i would pick out myself, this polish is something special. not a classic red: we own too many of those already. this is not the red you want, but it is the red you need. the bonus extrasthis quarter's box came with nail art extras: nail foils; and orly flash dry drops. i have yet to try these items. i will let you know my thoughts. all in all: must have. between this and the spring collection, orly is providing the classy neutrals you need. i love a good quality creme, and orly is bringing it all night long. thanks for reading. happy neutral-ing, bitches.
