Orly Matte FX Topcoats

So the matte tread doesn't stop at creme and shimmer polishes this season. Orly has released two new matte top coats that contain flakies!

Green Flakie Topcoat has a green tinted clear base with flakies that shift from blue to purple and has a matte finish.

This is one coat over a burgundy shade from Rue 21.

Pink Flakie Topcoat has a pink tinted clear base with flakies that shift from pink, blue and a little gold with a matte finish.

And this is both over Sinful Colors - Rain Storm. Do you need both? Perhaps not. But they are different for sure. It's nice to have the effect all in one bottle.

So what do you think? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for stopping by.

Zoya - Maria Luisa

Can you believe it's October already? Summer really just flew by us and September seriously seemed like a blur. Probably my two favorite things about right now is pumpkin flavored everything and the fact that Grey's Anatomy is back. My life is like super duper exciting.

Last year Zoya (and a lot of other polish companies) released a gold leaf top coat called Gilty. For some strange reason I slept on it then like every stupid guy in a romantic comedy didn't realize I wanted it until it was too late. I did however recently buy it on ebay for a decent price but when I saw Maria Luisa I decided not to let history repeat itself with Maria Luisa.

Maria Luisa is a yellow gold flake polish in a clear base. It's incredibly dense and can be worn alone with great coverage. It's a little thick but nothing a little thinner couldn't fix. This looks good over just about anything. Above is one coat of Maria Luisa over two coats of Essie Bobbing for Baubles.

I will be giving away a bottle of this polish as a part of my 100 Facebook Likes Giveaway so stay tuned!

Deborah Lippmann - Raspberry Beret

Today I bring to you one of my first hardcore lemmings. The moment I saw swatches of this polish I knew I had to have it. Luckily I caught a Good Morning America deal for a set of Deborah Lippmann minis with this shade in it.

Raspberry Beret is a berry jelly polish with gold shifting flakes. The formula is good and a bit sheer I think I would use a base similarly colored next time. My photos show two thick coats.

This color is perfect for fall and with the flakies it really makes it unique. Thanks for stopping by.
