My picks for Orly's Surreal Appeal Collection

 Pixie Powder- this is three coats of the polish on its own. This is the type of glitter that could be used as a topper over another polish or built up to be on its own.

 Angel Rain- a lovely blue to purple duochrome. I received a lot of compliments while wearing this. The purple shift is much stronger in person.

Digital Glitter- This is two coast of the glitter over black. This one really sparkles. I also had a lot of compliments when I wore this one as well. This is the type of glitter that needs a polish underneath it.

China Glaze Bohemian Luster Chrome, Fall 2012

This is the first time I purchased an entire collection. But how can anyone blame me... who doesn't love a good duochrome? 
First is "Swanky Silk," a gold to pink polish.
Next is "Unpredictable," a mint green to slightly darker green duochrome.
This is "Rare & Radiant," a dark gold to murky green and probably the most duped shade of the season after Chanel's Perdiot from Fall 2011. 
Here we have "Deviantly Daring," a peacock blue/green/turquoise shade.
Lastly I have "Want My Bawdy," a dark blue duochrome.
I've done a few different nail art looks with this collection, the first being a Peacock look using only this collection and a black Milani striper. 
A few weeks ago CutePolish on youtube did a tutorial for a mermaid look that I tried out. For this I used all China Glaze polishes. the base on all the nails is "Rare & Radiant," the gradient on the two nails was made by sponging "Unpredictable" to the bottom half of the nail; concentrating the most on the tips, the glitter is "Pizzazz" and the stripes is "Glittering Garland."
