AUTUMN / WINTER 2014
NEW AUTUMN SMOKY COLLECTION
WELCOME THE ANTI GLAMOUR ANARCHISTS
THE RETURN OF GRUNGE BY FAYE TAYLOR
ORLY Marketing Executive
I must stress this is not punk, it’s grunge! Last autumn the catwalks were flooded with tartan prints, chained accessories and outlandish timeconsuming hair do’s but this season epitomises low maintenance anti-glamour.
Are you ready to embrace all things grunge? I personally can’t get enough of this fuss free, angst-ridden teen spirited look with top layering, button down dresses and the ubiquitous Dr. Martens. As autumn emerges from the shadowy corners of our imagination get ready to embrace a darker beauty look with the deeply enigmatic palette of ORLY’s new Smoky collection. The understated, earthy colours are inspired by the shades used to create a sexy smoky eye look. My fave is Smoked Out, a flat matte teal with soft and delicate emerald specks.

STEP BY STEP
Half a Hound Giving each individual nail its own design, the Deconstructed

Houndstooth look comes direct from Antipodium’s A/W 14 LFW show. Recreate this on trend look at home or ask in salon.
step 1
step 2
step 3
step 4 finished look
STEP1
Prep the nail by applying ORLY Primetime to create a perfect canvas. Next, apply a coat of ORLY Bonder as a basecoat. Apply a layer of your chosen Smoky colour; we used ORLY Highlight, (a dense greige from the Smoky collection). Apply a second layer for full coverage.
STEP2
Using ORLY’s Detailer Brush for accuracy, draw two parallel lines diagonally across the nail with ORLY Darkest Shadow (a deep purple shimmer). Between the lines at the tip of the nail join both lines with a V shape and fill in the gap. To keep lines neat add only a small amount of polish to the ORLY Detailer Brush, this will allow you to keep the line really angular.
STEP3
Try experimenting with different angular shapes and lines to create our final multi-faceted ‘Deconstructed Houndstooth’. Having a unique design on each nail is really hot right now.
STEP4
Finish with a layer of ORLY Polishield for long-lasting, chip-free shine. Apply ORLY Flash Dry Drops to speed up the dry time.

THE DEBATE
The Debate
Should I Choose Gel Polish Over Regular Polish?
Share your views #gelvspolish @ORLYBeautyUK
No!
not always
ORLY Marketing Executive
Gel polish is literally the answer to all my prayers. I don’t know how I coped before. Really. No longer do I have the worry of ‘I can’t do that without chipping a nail!’. So whilst that means that yes, I have no excuse but to do the dishes, the gardening or even empty the bins, I do these things with renewed vigour and a smug smile knowing that nothing will damage my beautifully glossy nails. I like to challenge my nails to see if they survive, and guess what, my nails are always victorious. DIY? Easy. Baking? No problem! Tapping away on the keyboard? Bring it on! Even better is that my nails grow really long when I’m wearing gel fx. Yes, it means going to a salon and spending £25 every few weeks but my god it’s worth it. And what better way to spend 25 minutes? I can sit back and relax whilst my nail tech does the hard work – all I have to do is choose the shade. Sure it means that I’m stuck with the same colour for 2 weeks (although with ORLY Gel FX you can paint over it with polish and remove with non-acetone remover if you get really bored), but I would much rather have beautifully manicured nails 24/7. And even if I wanted to, as a working mum I really don’t have the time to sit and paint my nails 2-3 times a week. So if like me, you’re time tight but can’t stand bare nails, gel polish wins every time.
GRAFTONSBEAUTY.CO.UK
Yes, yes, gel polish has its benefits. But it takes away that glorious feeling of going out and purchasing a nail polish in a wacky hue (case in point, a vibrant yellow which on my alabaster skin is not a look I would recommend) safe in the knowledge that when I get sick of the colour I can swipe it off and select another more muted tone. The vibrant yellow lasted all of 30 seconds by the way. And these days nail polish is SO good. Packed full of all sorts of added extras to ensure the polish lasts for more than just a few days. Even better if you make like a tech and apply the correct primer, base and top. There are so many shades and textures and finishes, not to mention nail art so it is impossible to tire of nail polish. The beauty of experimenting with shades and design cannot be underestimated and best of all, if you’re not happy, you can just remove and start afresh. Plus, my years of polishing practice have paid off now I can paint like a pro and can literally be ready to go in 15 minutes. BUT I hold my hands up because if a 2 week holiday is on the cards (here’s hoping), then I admit that I’ll be booking into my local ORLY salon for a Gel FX manicure as it simply can’t be beaten for longevity.
