Fall 09: Orly Once Upon a Time Collection

Orly fall Once upon a Time collection

Orly introduces a new release this Fall called, Once Upon a Time. A collection that's themed around fairly tales, wishes, and making our nail polish dreams come true with six fabulous colors.

If your looking for unique and unusual shades, tune in, because you'll love this new collection from Orly.

This was totally unexpected for fall and I'm digging it. Green, Grays, and Brown - what more can nail polish fanatics ask for!

Application: The formula was pretty good on most of these, packed with color and opaqueness. Pixie Dust was the only shade that needed three coats. 

Check em' out! 

Orly Prince charming nail polish

Orly Once Upon a time Fall 09

Prince Charming is a brownish taupe creme that resembles another one we've seen this summer, Over the Taupe from OPI's Summer Brights collection. Not being exact dupes, Prince Charming is tad bit more brown. 

Orly Enchanted Forest nail polish

Orly Once Upon a time Fall collection

Enchanged Forest, a deep forest green creme. Not as dark as some blackened greens we've seen, such as, Zoya's Envy. The slight hint of blue makes this one special from the others. 

Orly Mirror Mirror nail polish

Orly once upon a time fall collection

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest gray of all, I am, I am! Described as a true light grey creme. This is a perfect light gray, I love it.

Rescue Beauty Lounge's Concrete Jungle is similar, but just a tad more blue than Mirror, Mirror.  

Orly Pixie Dust Nail polish

Orly Fall 09 Once upon a time

Pixie Dust is one of my faves from the collection, a grayish blue with silver shimmer. Very unique and gorgeous! 

Orly Poison Apple nail polish

Poison Apple, an apple red with slight orange undertones. I'm not a big fan of reds, but the muted orange gave this a little kick that I liked.  

Orly Happily ever after nail polish

Happily Ever After, berry pink with subtle hot pink shimmer. The shimmer is extremely subtle, almost non existent if looking directly at it.

Orly's Once Upon a Time collection should be available August 1st at Head2Toe Beauty, Transdesign and Sally Beauty Stores. Have a wonderful day!

Wow, swatches! Yay, thanks! I like 'Happily Ever After'. I thought it was nothing special when I saw the bottle, but it's really pretty!!! Great! I think this is the only one I want!

Pixie Dust and Enchanted Forest are the ones I'll be buying from this collection. Usually Orly doesn't seize any lemmings for me, but this one did! I think your nails are as cute as a button, by the way! :) As usual, I'll be back to check out your next update. Keep up the great work - you're one of my favourite nail-polish bloggers.

I will be buying the whole collection. I will buy it just for the name alone. I adore fairy tales so I have to have this. I love Enchanted Forest, any chance of this being a dupe for Nars Zulu? Pixie Dust is adorable and I love Prince Charming.

    OMG!!!!I am freaking out.......I love these colors. I haven't noticed them in the stores, but now I will definitely be on the lookout.

    I found these today at K-Mart as I searched for makeup and they looked like super fun colors but I'm on a nail-polish ban for another 2 months, lol

    Hi Steph - I had been looking for these for three weeks and finally found them at CVS. I couldn't resist and purchased all of them. They also had the Nail Art pens which I've never tried of any type and thought I may experiment with one of them. I didn't see the Neon colors but I'm waiting for those as well. Thanks for the swatches!

    bought cic today - darker on me than your photos looked on my computer. But a nice change from my usual mannequin nails & mauves. Just discovered nail polish blogs & am getting inspired to try other colors! Have bought a green but need to dig out a different purse first because my day use one would match my nails - not a look I think would work for me!

    I'm definitely loving this new feature. Most of my polishes have to cost me between $1 and $2 each for major haulin'. Right now I have Night Prowl, and I love it. Thank you for this!

    I just ran out and got it. I swatched it and posted it on my site. I also did a comparison swatch. You should go look http://crystalpolish.blogspot.com/2010/02/drugstore-adventures-and-color-raves.html Thanks for posting and letting me know about this amazing polish.

    I love this color! But I didn't see it at Walgreens today so I'll have to stalk the store. I really like the green colors too. For $1.99, I will probably get them all. :)
