Orly Foil FX Collection Redux
Earlier this year, I posted about Orly's new Foil FX Collection. Orly's PR firm had sent me Luxe to swatch and review. I fell in love with the collection, and the look of Luxe, so I decided to pick up the 2 remaining colors, Rage and Shine as soon as they were available at e-tailers.
Here are the swatches...
Rage - Rose Gold. My favorite of the bunch. I knew I would love this one as soon as I saw it on Vampy Varnish. It works with my skin tone and is the least "blingy" of the 3 colors, though that's not to say it's not completely shiny.
Shine - Silver. My second favorite. This is a gorgeous true silver.
Luxe - Gold. My least favorite. I like it, but it just doesn't work with my skintone. It's a very bright warm gold.
All 3 are 2 coats and I had no application issues with any of them.
Orly had stated in their press release that this collection was to mimic the look of Minx. They are beautiful foils, but while they can pass for Minx in a pinch, they don't really capture the look of being coated in gold/silver foil of Minx.
If you love foils, I would seriously consider picking these up. They are ~$3 at e-tailers. Sally's may have these, but I haven't been there in so long, I can't say for certain.
