Orly Fowl Play

Hi loves!!

  Today I have a recent buy from a micro Ulta haul I did. I say micro because I only Three colors and of the Three, Two were Orly minis lol. Well while there I spotted the Birds of  Feather display and I saw this baby and I couldn't resist. Every other color bored me to tears but this one really stood out. The funny part is that I've been told/ read that even Fowl Play itself is a dupe of an O.P.I color. Anywho, it was new and interesting to me so I had to have it.
Fowl Play is the most interesting mix of sparkle and flakes. It really took me some time to "dissect" this polish to figure out what exactly was going on in it. What I gathered is that it is a Sparkly Plummy (slightly jelly like) base with with some Burple Sparkles and Red-Coppery flakies that shift to Green. The cool part about this polish is that when you wear it it looks like you layered Three different things to get the finished look. The formula on this color is a little thick but manageable. I used Three coats for this manicure.

I am beyond happy with this purchase and I cannot wait to wear it again. Colors like this one really make me happy because on a lazy day... This makes it look like you put A LOT of effort into your nails lol...

Thanks for stopping by,
♥ Cristina

  1. I need this one so bad !!! It's one of the most amazing new released polish ! I don't have OPI Merry Midnight so I have to get this one ASAP (let's I'll still find it the US in October because I'm pretty sure we are not going to get it here in Switzerland).

  11. ATM I can't think of an OPI shade that looks similar... But even if there was a dupe for this, I love this polish with it's glitter and flakes. Reminds me of NfuOh flakies ;)

  25. oh, I'm waiting for this collection impatiently and you're telling me that the colors bored you to tears?! What? ;) Sweet Peacock is rockin' my socks, along with the beige one and this little beauty looks like a purple version of Tulipe Glitter (Peggy Sage) rather than a dupe for OPI's Merry Midnight.

  30. Yeap - a definate attempt at a dup of OPI Merry Midnight - I would certainly pick this one up from that collection soon as I see it anywhere. It's stunning even though I have Merry Midnight - I have only swatched it on a dot on a piece of clean paper. I might sell my Merry Midnight I paid a pretty penny for if this one really works out well for me.

  31. This looks a lot like Merry Midnight but with a less sheer base it seems.. It looks totally stunning in your pics!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I absolutely NEED this polish. It reminds me of a purple version of 212-Sephora. <3

  33. This is better than Merry Midnight, (which I still haven't worn almost a year later...) it has green!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I just picked this up a few days ago and it is a dupe(in my opinion) to OPI Merry Midnight, so if you were not lucky enough to score it, I would definitely say run don't walk to your nearest Ulta or Sally's. I found it at my local Ulta and glad I did!
