On My Nails: Orly Artificial Sweetener

I've been doing a bit of shopping lately, and I came across Orly's Artificial Sweetner for $4 at Marshall's. Quite the steal. I used to overlook Orly in the store, but after using this one, I knew I wanted to try some more. This color in particular is a great neutral pink. In the sunlight it looks a bit brighter at times, but it still isn't overwhelming. You may be able to tell in a few of the pictures, but it can look kind of mauve-y at times as well. I gravitate towards pinks anyway, but I love that this one is a bit more neutral. I think it's going to be a great everyday color for me.


Not crazy about the name, but I see where they're coming from.

I love the formula of these polishes, as well as the brush! The handle has a nice rubber grip, which doesn't make for the cutest packaging, but it's really practical. Although I'm a fan of the bigger brushes for painting my nails, this one doesn't bother me at all. It applies the polish very well.

Thanks to Marissa's advice on my last nail post, I think I've solved the bubbly nail issue. I think I might do a whole post dedicated to how I fixed the problem. It's a simple solution, but I'm very happy that it worked!

I always love hearing your nail polish recommendations! Are there any more from Orly that you think I should try?

    Such a pretty shade! I have one Orly polish. It's more of a neutral, shimmery peach color (can't remember the name of it...) You're right about the packaging. It's not the cutest, but the brush is SO nice!

    Yay! Glad my tips helped you figure out a solution :)

    If none of that worked, I was going to suggest switching to those nail stickers, haha.
