Good morning everyone! Although, it’s almost afternoon here. I had a late night last night swatching, and then a late morning getting up!
Today I have 5 of 6 polishes from Orly’s Galaxy FX Spring 2014 collection: Starburst, Milky Way, Gravity Bound, Intergalactic Space, and Star Trooper. I was really excited about getting this collection, let’s see how each of the polishes stood up to my expectations! Each polish is shown with Beauty Secrets base & top coat.
First up is Starburst. This is 2 thin coats. The formula was thin on this but there was almost too much glitter coming off with each stroke.
Next is Milky Way, shown is 2 thick coats. This is the one I was most excited about, it just looked so pretty in the bottle! But, unfortunately it was a pain to deal with. Thick formula, too much glitter coming off, and the sparkle in the bottle wasn’t too prevalent on the nail. I also needed to use one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness’ Glitter Food to smooth out the glitters before I used top coat.
This next one is Gravity Bound. I wasn’t sure about this in the bottle, and on the nail I do like it, but once again it’s a thick formula with too much glitter. This is 2 coats with a bit more dabbed on.
This is Intergalactic Space, shown is 2 regular coats. I actually really like this and the formula was good! There was no way I could get any of those bigger white circle glitters out though.
Last is Star Trooper, shown is 2 regular coats. This was another one I wasn’t sure about in the bottle, but on the nail it is so lovely! The gold shimmer totally makes this polish.
The only one I didn’t pick up was Black Hole, that one didn’t interest me at all. What are your thoughts on this collection? Have you picked up any? If you’re still looking for some, I have put up Starburst, Milky Way, and Gravity Bound on my blog sale.
Until tomorrow,
I don’t think that any of these really interest me. The only one that I kinda like is Star Trooper, but I probably wouldn’t purchase it. I feel like it’s been a while since Orly came out with something I really wanted.
Right?! That’s why I was so disappointed with Milky Way – I really wanted to love it! I didn’t get the new Blush collection because some of the colors seem really pretty, I’m just hoping to not be bitterly disappointed again. haha!
They look good!
Great post and saves the money. !! I am following your advice and skipping this collection 🙂
I bought gravity bound due to its peacock colors, but once I swatched it I was not thrilled
Gravity bound is sooo cool!
I like star trooper!
I like Starburst, but these days I have been bypassing store polishes for Indies. I just don’t see anything new and intriguing from the drugstore polishes. I might give this one a try though as I like the pretty pastel spring colors.
