Lacquer Laine's Ode to Orange

I love orange. A lot. I don't know what it is but I think it really compliments my nails. Maybe I just like the pop it gives. It just works. So I have been sporting a whole slew of orange lately. I have still been mixing it up of course or else I would be bored and I do not want to get sick of my beloved oranges. Here are a few of them:

Color Club - Tangerine Scream - I wore this to a Syracuse football game. Being that they are the "Orangemen", this got a lot of attention.

Color Club - Wild and Willing - I love this shimmery burnt orange duochrome. It flashes green, yellow and a rose gold. The only problem with it is that it needs 4 coats.

Misa - Speed of Life

L'Oreal - Sizzling Tangerine

LA Colors - Shock

OPI - Totally Tangerine

Petites - Passion Orange

Claire's - Orange Neon

China Glaze - Orange Marmalade - I love the glass fleck shimmer. It does settle though so you have to mix well before you use it. And it's pretty thin. I needed 3 or 4 coats.

Santee - Neon Orange

OPI - Hungary For My Honey

LA Colors - Force

Cosmo - Bus Route #1 -I love this bizarre neon yellow-orange. It looks like a bus! Or a neon yellow street sign.

Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange

What do you think of orange nail polish?

  1. They are so pretty, I can't even decide which are my favourites. I don't have a lot of orange polishes, though, as they don't suit me that well. I feel much more comfortable in green and teal.

  4. I love the color in itself but I don't own any orange polish nowadays. I have when I was a teenager but it doesn't compliment my skin tone very well. Wearing orange is not easy! That said Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange is a little beauty! If I had to pick one, that'd be this one. :)

    I have an orange Illamasqua that I need to do but have been putting off as isn't a "me" colour. But I'm working on it!

  6. I love orange! It totally should not work with my skin tones, but I love the ones I can wear. (I've got Speed of Life on the way, I can't wait!)

  9. I wore so much orange in October! I have auburn hair so I love orange polish. You have featured so many here I haven't had a chance to try. Wild and Willing is a gorgeous duochrome. I may have to seek out Hungary for my Honey too! You wear orange beautifully!

  13. I love orange nail polish. I have six of them. One of my favorites is KleanColor's Twinkly Sunrise (222). It is a dense chrome orange peach with copper glitter. Your image above has induced me to try Courtney Orange by Sinful Colors. Next time I am at Walgreen's, I'll buy it.
