Luxe is another polish from the Orly Foil FX 2010 collection consisting of Rage, Luxe, and Shine (I won't be showing Shine, because my local Sally Beauty Supply didn't have it for some reason). Luxe is an incredibly shiny, cool-toned gold with bits of silver shimmer running through it. While the silver isn't as evident as in Rage, it is still obviously there.
Instead of wearing Luxe on its own and then with a matte top coat, I did matte French tips using Essie Matte About You.

I love Luxe! It's glitzy and shiny and gorgeous, and while it doesn't complement my skin tone as well as most of my other golds, I still love wearing it, and I can't stop staring at my nails. My pictures are actually fairly color accurate for once, and the picture taken in sunlight is spot-on. The matte tips are slightly more evident in real life, but they are subtle.
The next couple weeks are going to be pretty exciting - I've got several nail polish and nail-related packages coming in the mail fairly soon, so be prepared! :)
Beautiful color! I like the idea of the matte tips.
ReplyDeleteI like this one, but Rage is still my favorite from this collection!
ReplyDeleteI also love the matte tips!
ReplyDeleteThose matte tips are so cool! I'll definitely have to try that one out.
