Is there such a thing as too retro? Orly Plastix Collection (pictures & swatches)
Now, you all know that I have nothing but mad love for Orly, right? These affordable nail polishes do trends like nobody’s business and the toxic-free formula last longer than any other polish I know. So you know that it pains me to say that I’m not really feeling their new Plastix Collection.
“Plastix evokes the vintage classic trend with four new lacquers and a unique new formula that coats the nails with a smooth glossy matte “plastic” finish. The exclusive finish and texture is a first in the nail category, delivering a monochromatic, shiny and rubbery look that takes experimentation to an entirely new level…”
Well, I don’t like the colors nor the finish, though I dig the monochromatic bit. The orange is too orange and the red not cherry enough. The other colors are ok – the blue and purple are wearable and I might revisit them later in the fall. The formula was thicker than normal, making it harder than usual to apply and get a streak-free look.
Check them out:
Old School Orange: a classic orange
Purple Pleather: a shiny purple
Viridian Vinyl: a glossy blue-green
Retro Red: a traditional red
Orly Plastix is available for $7.50 at www.orlybeauty.com, Ulta, and other fine places throughout the US.
