Continuing with orange shades I have three more today.
China Glaze Harvest Moon. I have to say that I love this polish. Always have, always will! This is a burnt metallic orange. Two coats for full coverage.
OPI Clubbing Til Sunrise is a medium orange shimmer. I love the end result, but the formula doesn't wow me. Three coats for full coverage, but be careful with pulling. This also dried quite slowly. Formula was thin.
Jessica Overture. I included this because it is officially called an iridescent copper. To me it leans much more of a red. You do get the hints of copper, but that's it. Their official little colour dot isn't very accurate in my opinion. That being said, it has a great formula and I had full coverage in two coats.
There you go, three more orange shades to choose from. Hope you enjoyed!

Julep orange shades
With Halloween and autumn here, I thought I would swatch some orange shades to help you find what you might be looking for! I know I constantly sit down and start thinking about what the right shade would be for a particular design. Today I am starting with three Julep shades for you.
Hayden is described as a neon peach creme. This definitely leans orange to me. Maybe it's just my skin tone. I have used two coats plus top coat. As it's a neon it does dry to a matte finish. Applies nicely, but as you can see, my polish has some areas that the pigments won't mix together any longer. Unfortunately this is visable on the nail. Yes! I did shake, rattle, and roll! Nothin'.
Kaylen is a bright/neon orange crelly. Officially they call this a creme, but no, it isn't. Dries matte, so you'll need a shiny top coat. I have used three coats and still have vnl. Not so noticeable in the pics, but it definitely is in person. My brush in this was wonky, it looks like it has swelled up, making it difficult to apply. Other then that, I like the colour.
Parker is a tangerine creme. Full coverage in two coats, but be careful of pooling at the cuticles. The formula is a bit thin. Photos are with top coat. This is my personal favourite of the three!
Julep polish can be found HERE. They currently have some sales going on as well. Thanks for stopping by today!

Cult Nails with a breast cancer awareness spin
I'm sure you are all aware that October is breast cancer awareness month. I thought I would do a pink manicure but a little differently! Basically just went with a brighter pink then most and did some swirls instead of ribbons. Nothing earth shattering!
All products used in this are from Cult Nails except for the base coat. I have Morning Glory, which is a magenta with a wax finish, Nevermore is a super shiny, opaque black, and Tempest in white. Top coats used were Wax That and Wicked Fast.
Cult Nails can be purchased HERE. They also have a list of other retailers at the bottom of the page.
