It all started with Pink...Revisiting Orly Basketcase

I have loved the Orly brand of nail polish for years. Some of my earliest blog posts were of Orly polishes.  I have often commented on how much I loved the Orly rubberized bottle tops. Orly recently redesigned their bottles again.  My nail polish collection includes just short of 90 bottles of Orly, and in my collection I have 3 generations of bottles.  Change is often not easy but after a couple uses, I have gained an appreciation for the redesigned bottle.

The redesigned orlybeauty.com features video tutorials, how-to tips, and insight on color and nail trends.  I have already started making my shopping list by reviewing the true-to-life color swatches. We all seen other brands' swatches that looked nothing like the actual polish.

I've always been a history buff so the company video that Orly released explaining the history of the Orly line is very interesting to me.  An isn't quite interesting that the founder's nail is Jeff Pink.  




At this year's Cosmoprof North America, Las Vegas, Orly debuted its latest campaign "It all started with Pink", in honor of its founder and owner-Jeff Pink.  So as my tribute to Mr. Pink i'm sharing with you my NOTD featuring one of my favorite Orly polishes; one I consider the "perfect  pink."  Today's manicure revisits Orly Basketcase with a polka dot topcoat.

Well hopefully one day I will get the opportunity to attend a Cosmoprof event. But until then I'll have to live vicariously through others' pictures.  Have you ever been to a Cosmoprof event? I can't wait for the release of Orly's upcoming collections.  What are some of your favorite Orly polishes?

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.
