| Two (2) Coats of Orly Mirror Mirror, One (1) Coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat |
Orly Mirror Mirror is one of my favorite nail polishes. Grey may not be everyone's choice of color to wear on their nails, but considering 75% of my wardrobe is gray, it suits me quite well. Even though it may seem like a winter shade, I remember wearing it all through this past summer. Mirror Mirror is a creme formula grey polish with a pale blue undertone. On the nails, it looks like a true to life grey, and then in certain lighting it looks like a neutral, pale blue.
The formula of Mirror Mirror is pretty nice. It's a little thick, but it dries fairly quick and it is extremely opaque. Two coats is more than enough.
Here's a comparison to other grey nail polishes I own..
From Left to Right: Orly Mirror Mirror, Essie Chinchilly, Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Steel Grey, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Grey Area, Love & Beauty Gray, Moodies Persian Blue & Sinful Colors Blah-Blah.
Orly Mirror Mirror - Pale grey with a pale blue undertone
Essie Chinchilly - Pale grey with a slight purple undertone
Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Steel Grey - Pale grey with a purple/mauve undertone
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Grey Area - Deep, blackend grey with a deep blue/navy undertone
Love & Beauty Gray - Deep toned gunmetal grey with a golden green pearl
Moodies Persian Blue - Mid toned grey with a blue/green undertone
Sinful Colors Blah-Blah - Pale grey with a slight purple undertone (very similar to Essie Chinchilly)

Hi Natty is it an old/permanent color or is it from a new collection. the fact that it's your favorite grey tells me that its been around but I somehow haven't heard of it.
ReplyDeleteI love Essie's Chinchilly! I can't believe how similar the Sinful color is to it.. have you seen a difference in the wear-time of the Essie compared to the Sinful polish??
