Oh yes, I’m on a purple kick.
I was in the middle of a crazy day when I spotted a bottle of purple goodness in Watsons.
There were rows and rows of Orly bottles and this was the first one that jumped out at me.
I held the bottle in my hand and I’m pretty sure I gasped.
Look at the pretty sparkle! You know I’m not a big fan of glitter but I loved the silver glitter in this one.
I turned it over to check the polish name.
Velvet Rope. How have I never heard of this before?! Why haven’t people given this polish more attention?
It’s so pretty.
I love that it’s purple.
I love that the silver glitter is understated.
Here’s Velvet Rope with flash.
I haven’t worn purple in ages and I’m glad I’ve worn it two weeks in a row.
Here’s Orly Velvet Rope with my bird ring and my crazy baking scar.
I know I should be more vigilant about applying Vitamin E to my scar but I’ve learned to love it a little more than I used to. Now it kinda looks like Halley’s Comet to me.
Which is cool because Velvet Rope looks like a purple night sky to me.
So yeah, I think my scar matches my nail polish. How weird am I?
No, don’t answer that.
I love this color and the subtlety of the glitter as well. When I first saw it I thought I had discovered something special, and it is! Maybe it doesn’t get mentioned a lot because it has been around for a while? I am rediscovering purple too. For the last six weeks I’ve worn nothing but green and blue, but tonight’s mani will be Butter London Marrow.
Aaah, so jealous. I love Butter London Marrow! But I haven’t been lucky enough to spot bottles in the local salons that carry Butter London. Pictures please!
You’re right, Velvet Rope is something special
i have the same bottle too! i wore it for 4 weeks and im still not over this color yet. i used it again a week after. Skinfood also has that kind of polish, there’s black, blue, red and purple=)
Awesome! I love that there’s so much love for Velvet Rope!
I should check out Skin Food too – but when I’m in Rustan’s, I’m totally magnetized by the OPI, Essie, Nars and Chanel areas that I haven’t given this brand the chance it deserves..
Pam!!!!
I start shooting today so I have NO time to blog…and keeping my nails super short and trimmed for being on set, and doing them red, my lucky color!!
Sooo your posts are going to be my fix. AND I have seen Velvet Rope in person and thought the sparkle might disappears when on the nail, but LORD that turns out gorgeous!!!
YOU HAVE ORLY AT WATSON’S THERE? YOU CANNOT IMAGINE THE IMMENSITYOF MY JEALOUSNESSNESS.
NIKKI!

Just gotta say that I LOVE this blog. It’s saved to my favourites and I pretty much check it every day I go online. I love how entertaining your posts are and all the excitement that goes with finding some ridiculously sweet nail colour. Probably a stupid question but HAVE YOU SEEN THE NAIL POLISH IN THE MAC VENOMOUS VILLIANS COLLECTION? Literally. Holycrap.
Aww thanks so much! Hahaha yes I do get crazy get excited over new nail colors!
And yes, HOLY CRAP is right. I can’t wait to get the Venomous Villains polishes!
And I saw that you posted a Polly Pocket toy on your Tumblr. I LOVE Polly Pocket – the teeny ones from our childhood – not the atrociously big ones they come out with now..
This was the first Orly color I tried on and it’s still my favorite to date!
So awesome! I love Orly! Green with envy is super cool! too!
