Orly Preamp - it's a love story

Pin It
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights

See the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know


They say true love lasts a lifetime...


Orly Preamp






Well, I'm ready to commit.

Preamp is part of the 4 piece Electronica Fall 2012 Collection from Orly. This actually turned up in NZ before it came out in the States! I picked it up while I was on my Uni break in Auckland. It was worth paying full price at Farmers!!!

It's a really pretty purple toned pink (sort of a dirty lilac leaning pink) full of flakie shimmer (a bit like Dollish Polish Purple Haze), that glows pink/orange/gold depending on the lighting situation. It's not duochromey or anything, it just sort of picks up different levels of warmth. The shimmer really warms up the base so I think it'll suit all skin tones.

Application was decent. I can't remember if this was 2 or 3 coats, but I do remember liking the formula and getting decent coverage.

God, I love it so so so so so soooooooooooooooooooooooo much!

Have I told you that flakie shimmers are my favourite nail polish finishes?! And that's the 2nd in a row. Boo-yah!

Hey it's also Wednesday, so Happy Pink Wednesday ladies!!!

Do you have Preamp? Are you drooling over it?
Fingers, can you deal with the pink?

    1. i just goggled it and you're right! I think Preamp is much pinker though, but the shimmer looks pretty similar. I can't believe I don't have Golden Lavender already!!
