Orly Happily Ever After

Orly Happily Ever After is from the Once Upon a Time collection from fall 2009. It's a dark reddish purple plum color with a very, very hidden pink shimmer - in most lights, it looks like a creme, so that's what I'm calling it. This is two coats with top coat, and I used a butterfly sticker from the Nailene Bedazzle pack* on my index finger. For some reason I completely forgot to get an indoor picture, though I did get an indoor bottle shot to show how the shimmer looks in the bottle!

That last picture is definitely the accurate one. While the polish does look more red in the sunlight, it is definitely not that red. While I wish the shimmer was more evident, it's still very pretty and a great fall color, and maybe it will make me feel a little better about not yet getting my hands on any current fall collections. Maybe next week when I'm out of town I'll be able to find some...here's hoping!
