Quo by Orly Water Transfer Nail Art: Kaleidoscope

Hello!  I've got another set of the Quo by Orly Water Transfer Nail Art to share with you today.  They applied the exact same as the previous set, so I'll omit most of the details in this post but you can read up my original review for everything you need to know about them here!

This time,  I applied the decals over a glitter polish instead of white.  I used three thin coats of Orly Halo for the base, and then applied the water decals.  The rest of my nails are one coat of LaCC 1999 followed by one coat of Butter London Black Knight.  All nails are topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.

Quo by Orly Water Transfer Nail Art: Love Notes

This post has been sitting in my drafts folder for ages, I can't believe I haven't already shared these with you!  These Quo by Orly water transfer decals are pretty awesome; I got a couple different sets to try, and I'm going to show you Love Notes today.  

They apply just like the temporary tattoos I used to put on as a kid.  You basically put down your base colour (I used Quo by Orly Purity here), wait for that to be dry, place the dry tattoo over your nail, and hold a wet cloth or anything similar to the back for about 15 seconds, and it transfers onto your nail.  That's all!  Intricate-looking nail art with minimal effort!  

I decided to use them as accent nails, and painted the rest of my nails in two coats of Quo by Orly Smudge Me from the Fall collection, and added a black stud to each.  I sealed in the water decals with a coat of LaCC 2013 top coat.  

I've got a couple more designs of these to show you, so keep an eye out for those.

Quo by Orly: Fall 2014 Collection

Good morning!  I've got a busy and exciting week ahead, as we go into tech and dress rehearsals for our first show of the season this weekend.  Today I've got five of the six new releases from Quo by Orly for Fall 2014, and they're all beautiful.  Fall is usually my favourite season for polish releases, and these are no disappointment!

Sunset Gradient

For the next little while my life is going to be a bit strange.  I'm officially moving out of my apartment today, and flying to a different city where I'll be staying for a summer program for five weeks.  I'm just renting a room in a house for that time and have no idea what my setup will be like, (I had to get rid of my amazing nail-photo lamp in the move,) but hopefully I'll be able to get in some good daylight shots of manis.  It also means that I've unfortunately had to pare down my collection of about 400 bottles here to less than 200, because I've only got two suitcases to pack my entire life into, which is really sad!  After that summer program I'll finally get to go to London to visit my family in their new home, which I'm super excited for!! :)

Anywho, onto the nails!  

This is a simple double-accent mani that I did while playing around with the QUO by Orly Summer 2014 polishes, which you can see individual swatches of here.  My middle and ring fingers are a base of Electrified, and a gradient sponged on with that and Heatwave.  The rest of my nails are three thin coats each of Simmered.  All nails are topped with LaCC 2013 top coat. 

Although I wasn't a huge fan of Electrified and Heatwave alone on my skin tone, I'm really loving them all combined in this super bright look!  What do you think?  Let me know in the comments!  :)
