Orly- Mirrorball [Swatch]


Howdy, guys! Today I've got the recently famous Orly- Mirrorball to show you! I didn't realize that I absolutely had to have this polish until it was well sold-out in Sally Beauty Supplies in my area, so I actually had to track it down on Amazon since I didn't want to make a huge nailsupplies.us (or similar) order.

Mirrorball is from the Winter 2014 Sparkle collection, and was the definite hit out of the six polishes released in the set.



Mirrorball is a light silver, linear holographic polish that also has small holographic hexes scattered throughout. It is really aptly named!

Artificial light, two coats:




So, I just don't think photos do this polish any justice! You really need to see it in person to get the real idea. I did take a to show some of the holo during movement:


on



Window-filtered daylight:



Outside, shade:


Sun:



I didn't think I was going to get any chance at a sun shot during the three days I'd planned to wear this one, but I left it on an extra day and- behold! So, yes, the sun photos show tipwear, but that is on day four! I think this polish wore pretty well for me!


Formula: It has a medium consistency, but is slightly viscous and sticks to itself a little bit. That said, it actually goes over the nail really nicely, and is very forgiving! I had a good level of opacity in two coats, and I was pretty happy with the formula overall!



What do you think?
Have you tried Mirrorball?

    I want this polish so bad. I've seen swatches of it if floating around and think its amazing. Your swatches just make me so envious that you have it.

    So pretty! It really reminds me of a Literary Lacquers-esque kinda shade. Nice to see a commercial brand getting with the times!! ;)
