ORLY’s latest collection Cool Romance is one of the releases for Spring 2012. The collection mostly consists of cool pastels and if you watch the promotional video, it has a very Parisian feel. As always, all swatches are two coats with no top coat.
Artificial Sweetener
As per the name, this is a sugar sweet pink shade with very sparse micro silver shimmers, barely visible if visible at all in the photo. Zoya’s Zanna is a darker version.
Faint Of Heart
A true taupe crème, I wouldn’t consider this a dirty shade, though I know certain taupe polishes seem to be viewed under that light. OPI’s French Quarter for Your Thought is a similar shade.
Jealous, Much?
A soft mint green crème with medium opacity, I found the formula to be a little on the more liquidy side. Essie’s Absolutely Shore is a lighter dupe and Essie’s Mint Candy Apple is similar with more aqua tones.
Prelude To A Kiss
A light peach crème, Face of Australia’s Cotton Candy is a very very close dupe.
Steel Your Heart
A metallic gunmetal shade with medium sized silver shimmers infused throughout, there are a ton of dupes for this in the market. This isn’t a unique shade at all, to name a few I’d say Ulta3’s Metal, Face of Australia’s Party at the Gap and China Glaze’s Attraction. But I’m sure you can find a ton more with other brands.
You’re Blushing
A mauve purple / pink crème, surprisingly was not able to find a similar dupe in my collection!
Oh wow the colours are just gorgeous! So fresh and feminine <3
I know right? I love them 😀
I agree, it’s a very pretty and feminine collection. Love it!
Yay! I’m going to make a real effort to wear these more often 😀
Love the peach and the mint!
This collection just reminds me of you 😀
I think this collection was aptly named! Artificial Sweetener, Prelude To A Kiss and Steel your Heart are my favorite!
