NOTD: Orly Fowl Play

I'd like to say first, that going forward you'll start seeing a mix of pictures, some from my old camera & some from my new camera.  I don't have a case for it yet, plus I don't know how to work everything yet, although I'm learning (& in some cases being rather pissed off in the process).  So far the only thing that I'm unimpressed with is the manual white balance settings, they don't seem 100% accurate to me especially the Fluorescent H setting - but it's not a huge deal because most of the time it does really really well with the setting on auto.

On to the polish - Fowl Play is from Orly's Birds of a Feather collection:

 
Really enjoyed this polish.  Considered wearing it matte for a day, buuuut:


Wasn't too impressed.  Didn't enhance it much to my eye, just made it look kind of old & dirty looking.

Kind of a slow week overall - the mani I put on after this lasted me I think 5 days so I'm still getting back in the swing of things.  Had a semi-fail over the weekend that still turned out pretty cool.  Remembered/discovered that Movie Maker does not like the format that my new camera shoots video in =(  And am planning to work 10-hour days the 3 days I work this week.  So I  suppose I should get to bed LOL.  Thanks for reading.

  5. What a gorgeous nail polish!
    And I agree with you that the matte effect kinda made it look old and dirty haha

  6. This is a really pretty polish, although I agree that matte finish didn't do much for it.

  7. Did you use a dark base coat?? Or have you applied several layers? For me, the lacquer is not as dark and opaque!
