Holy Freakin' Unreal Emberstone!!

Be prepared to be bombarded by photos. No joke, I have like legit 8 pictures. I took these a while ago and this is quite a late post. I've been trying to cut down on the number of photos, but since I had already cropped and tagged all of these, I figured I'd just include them.

Emberstone... is amazing. I'm a HUGE fan of the Mineral FX collection, as I posted Stone Cold back in December. Emberstone is beautiful. It has almost a coral type of feel. This polish is definitely easily worn in the summertime, I thought it was going to be more of a cold red. Some photos show it as a cherry red, but there are a couple that show the orange-y coral feel, and you definitely see that quite a bit in real life. It also has this hot pink feel to it. I definitely see hot pink flakes in this polish, just a little less frequent than the orange. This isn't really a glitter, they're more particles of shimmer than anything IMO. It's a little different than Stone Cold in that the particles aren't as separate. They're much more fluent with the base of the polish where as they stood out far more in Stone Cold. This does not make the polish any less amazing. I still stand by what I said with Stone Cold and that is words and photos cannot describe this polish.

Seriously, you have to wear these polishes. When you wear them, they're so much more lively that photos show, than they look in the bottle, or even how they look as swatches in the store. Don't underestimate these. They're not a regular shimmer.

The formula was totally fine. It glided on great, not too thick. Polish went and stayed where I put it. Amazing to work with, great coverage. Beautiful all around.

Orly Stone Cold

Words and photos cannot describe this polish. But let's give it a shot.

Holy goodness. Let me start by saying that I was drawn to this polish because I love Orly and I heard people loved these polishes... and I had 15% off at Sallys =D. I chose Stone Cold because I love blue polishes and nothing else really stood out to me. But after trying this, I want all of them!!

This polish in the bottle does NOT do it justice!! Even the swatches on the displays do not do this polish justice. I just don't understand. I was reluctant to purchase it because it has a higher price tag than normal Orly's, and it just didn't look that special. Well it lived up to the hype and more.

It's a beautiful vibrant blue that is FILLED with these small, irregular shaped pieces of... glitter? I don't know if you'd call it glitter per say, it reminds me of like tiny flakes of a blue cellophane with kind of a blue iridescence in a matching blue jelly base. But it's packed with those little pieces whatever you wanna call them. Regardless, it makes for an effect that is so beautiful and unusual. You HAVE to see it in real life and on the nail.

The formula was lovely to work with. A bit on the thicker side, but I think that was a good thing. Very manageable.
