Orly: Lunar Eclipse (Cosmix FX Collection)

So this weekend I wore Orly's Lunar Eclipse which I won from Jessica v. Polish's giveaway! (Thanks Jessica for the amazing package!) Lunar Eclipse is part of the Cosmix FX collection . This is a gorgeous blue/purple color with that amazing Cosmix FX finish. This collection was a huge hit in the nail polish community but this is only one of three colors I have from the collection. I am happy to have it though.

This color is cool because in the bottle and in certain lighting it looks royal purple but then in different lighting it looks royal blue. Sometimes it looks half royal purple and half royal blue, it's really fun.

The formula is okay but I had some application issues. I simply made a mess. I had tons of cleaning up to do with this one for some reason. I have no idea why it just worked out that way.  I also find polishes from this collection to be quite sheer. I needed three coats for the opacity shown here. Not a huge issue but something to note.

So what do you think? Like it or leave it? I think it's pretty great and I love the sort of color changing affect.  I think Orly should not have put a $10 price tag on these though, that's pretty steep IMO.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure: Lagoon

Hi everyone! Every once in a while I brave the mess that is Ocean State Job Lot to see if they have any good nail polish and every once in a while the trip pays off. Last time I was there they had several colors from Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure line for just $2 which is a steal so I had to pick up a few.  

One of the colors I picked up is Lagoon which is a medium blue frost. The color is sort of turquoise or teal and I think will appeal to a  lot of people. I am not really a fan of the frosty finish on this one. It's kind of streaky and old school looking. I am not sure I am a fan of that.

Application wise it was nice. I love the brush on this brand it's flat and tapered on the end like Rimmel brushes. It makes it easier to get down near the cuticle without making a mess. I wish more brands had brushes like this! 

Overall I think I got a nice deal for $2. I wouldn't have wanted to pay full price for this one though because of the finish. Have you found any good nail polish deals lately? Do tell!
