Orly Tropical Pop

I have not been impressed by mainstream brands at all lately. I haven't bought a single polish from a summer collection from OPI, China Glaze, or Zoya. Orly is a brand I used to really love. I feel like in the past 2-3 years, they really have been going under the radar. When I saw their summer collection though, a love was reignited. Orly's Baked collection is a home run, and totally kicks any other mainstream brand's summer collection out of the park. I have Tropical Pop to share with you today. 

Tropical Pop
Tropical Pop is neon tangerine creme.

Color: Whoa! No playing around here. This is a beautiful bright yellow-orange creme. I don't typically wear oranges and yellows, but if I do they're going to be obnoxiously in your face ones. This is an awesome color. This kind of reminds me of like neon mac n' cheese. Lol.

Formula: This wasn't the greatest formula to me. It was manageable, but I found this to be a bit thick, goopy, and hard to control. I also found it had some self-leveling issues. I did 3 coats here. It's not a terrible formula, but one that required some extra attention.

Price: I paid in the $7-$8 range for this at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Overall: I just love this color. Tropical Pop is so out of my normal realm of what I'd wear, and I think that's what makes me love it more. As much I love this polish and want to give it 5 paint splatters, the formula really holds this one back. It's not a deal breaker though, and if you like this color, I think it's worth a little effort.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Paint Splatters
Happy Monday!

    Usually if someone says "neon mac n cheese", I'm going to say no, but I flippin' love this Steph! You are totally right, it is neon mac n cheese. LOL! And Sally's is having a sale this week too on Orly. :D

    I have 3 polishes from this collection so far and love them all. I do not have this one yet but I may have to try it. Looks great on you!

    Beautiful shade! I agree with you - Orly is totally underrated but I love all of the polishes I have from them.

    I love Orly, but it does tend to get overlooked and forgotten too in the frenzy of new Essie's OPI's and Zoya's that are on everyone else's blogs. I really like this happy orange neon on you.

    I feel like a lot of my Orly polishes have that gloopy formula, which sucks because their colors are so pretty! :/

    I just got this one, too! It's not something I would normally get, but I got it BOGO at Sally's. :)

    I think this is a stunning neon, and not a color you see very often. I love it! Too bad the formula is a PITA.
