Favorites: Orange!!

Hello!!

Okay, this time it's for real! Apologies to those of you who saw the empty version of this accidentally posted the other day...here is the real post! :)

Today is the second installment of my favorites series, and today I'm featuring the color orange. I've heard from readers who feel that orange is underrepresented in the nail world, and I agree! I love orange, and I should wear more of it. This past year I've discovered some really pretty oranges, so I'm gonna share them with you now.

In no particular order:

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, that's what I'm talking about. Shimmery. Fiery. Intense. Orange, baby. Orange.

This one is summer in a bottle. It makes me want to lie on the beach peeling orange. So vibrant and fun!!

Sparkle And Soar lit up all purty. :)

This one is more of a golden orange, with a pretty glass-flecked finish. Check out how it lights up in the late afternoon sun!

Another bright orange, but this time with a burnished feel to it. And look at the contrasts in that shimmer! In my opinion, no color owns shimmer like orange does. Fiery and warm from the outside in. :)

This one leans a bit toward burnt orange, even going toward brown. The shimmer peeks out at you on this one, but still carries that beautiful orange shine. :)

And now for something completely different...a soft, peachy orange duochrome with microglitter. Seriously, I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to bet this is what heaven looks like. Soft. Ethereal.  Perfect.

An orange shimmer with a healthy dose of beautiful gold glitter. This is almost a brown-red, I'm not sure if some people will argue with me including it as an orange...but I love it and I went back and forth about what color it is, and decided it has a home here with me and my oranges. I absolutely adore this, pun intended. :)

What better way to end the list than with a holo? This is another polish that's a bit confusing with respect to color--it's sort of a red-orange-coral sort of color that defies classification. I don't care what you call the color, I'm just glad I own it. Complete holographic magic in a bottle. :)

There you have it! My list of awesome oranges. What do you think--are there any oranges out there that you think should be on my list?

Xoxox,
