Holoooo, Orange!

Who loves orange?  This girl.  I hope you do, too, because I have a lot of juicy orange goodness for you today!

Amy's Nail Boutique Orange A-Peel.  This is a burnt-orange or blood orange type of color, not your typical bright orange.  It's a jelly, too, so squishy.  This is 3 coats, I believe, and it covered pretty well in Real Life, though there's a little VNL in the pix.  This is absolutely gorgeous.

I started to do a comparison post, and I realized that I had swatched this a while ago, but never posted it.  This is Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light, a bright, squishy, fiery jelly orange holo.  Ka-pow!

Bonus glitter pix!  After I swatched Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light, I put Tough As Nails Lacquer Orange Whip over it. Orange is such a great jelly color, and the glitters just swim around.

So, here's the comparison shot you've been waiting for!  Drumroll, please:

Orange holo comparison shot

The Chirality was the closest in color, but it's a crelly and doesn't have the same texture at all.  The Chirality was also the only one-coater in the bunch.  Born Pretty holo is close, but took 2 coats to get that nice, dark burnt orange color.  Greatest Treasures looks similar in the bottle to the others, but on the nail is much more pink.

So, no dupes, but Chirality is close.  From a distance, they all look pretty similar, though, which is probably why non-polish people think we're a little cuckoo.  Let 'em.  I know that I need 10 different variations of orange holo.  And, don't even get me started on purple or blue holos.

From a distance, not as much difference

Do you have a fave orange holo?  If you haven't seen it already, I did some stamping on Enkelini Laney Lou a while back, too.  Is there one you like I didn't compare here?
