Orly Elsa Collection


 Happy Saturday everyone! Today I have on the blog four of the polishes from the newly released Orly Elsa collection.




This collection is exclusive through Walgreens, so you'll only able to find it there. I had been on the hunt for these polishes for a few weeks until I finally found them! There's a total 12 polishes in this collection. They can be purchased individually or in packs of two. It's actually cheaper to purchase them in the two pack because they're $11 in the two pack and $7 individually! On to the swatches:


First up we have the movie's name sake polish Frozen! This is a frost polish and I'm wearing one coat of Frozen over a coat of OPI's Black Onyx. I'm not using a top coat in this image because when I tried putting on a top coat the polish started wrinkling! I'm definitely not a fan of frost polishes because of the difficulty that comes in applying them, so this one definitely wasn't my favorite.



My second least favorite was Free Spirit. The color is a gorgeous magenta and would be perfect for warmer weather! However, the formula wasn't the best. It was a little too thick for my taste. You'll need very light coats with this one.



Kristoff He Goes is a beautiful dark teal blue. I love this color! I swear I probably have a million bottles that look exactly like this one, but the colors is too beautiful to pass up!! The formula was great on this one and could probably be a one-coater if a thicker coat was used. I'm wearing two coats in the photo plus Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat.




My favorite of the four was definitely Watch Out, Or Elsa!. It's also a magenta but this time there's little gold flecks! The formula on this one was also excellent and again I'm wearing two coats in the photos. I love how the flecks give the color more dimension and make it a little more magical, which is befitting for Elsa!!

All in all I liked the collection. I wish it was more Frozen or Elsa themed, since there seems to be a lot of Summer-y colors, but there is a pretty wide variety of colors. I also wish that these were sold other than Walgreens, mostly because Walgreens is so wishy-washy as to when they stock which stores, and also because Walgreens doesn't even carry Orly! Will you be picking up this collection?

EDIT: Turns out that these colors are not exclusive to Walgreens. They are actually already part of Orly's Color Blast line that is sold in multiple stores. It appears that they were only renamed in order to create a Frozen/Elsa theme.
