So this is Orly's Fowl Play. I'm so torn on this. This picture is so beautiful. On my hands it's not as impressive. It's pretty to be sure but for some reason I'm just meh on it. This was originally part of the Birds of a Feather collection but it's now part of the permanent line. Fowl Play is a deeper purple base with micro shimmer and duochrome flakies. I did three coats, mostly because that's habit now. It would've been fine with two. Formula was fine. Nothing so amazing that I feel the need to rave about it but it wasn't messy or anything. Overall I'm just not impressed with this.
I wore this polish for the season premier of Duck Dynasty! I was hoping to get to do some nail art instead but I ran out of time. Does anyone else love that show as much as we do?

OPI Casino Royale
My very last James Bond polish! This is OPI Casino Royale. The color really freaked my camera out but this is pretty close to color accurate. It's slightly darker in real life but Casino Royale is a plummy, vampy, raspberry tinged red. It looks almost brown in artificial light. The formula on this was pretty bad. Kind of gluey and thick if you tried to do thin coats but difficult to keep from flooding my cuticles when I did thicker coats. I did three coats but it really didn't NEED the third coat. A lovely color, not one of my favorites but still really nice.
Speaking of favorites, I figured now that I've worn all the Bond polishes that I have I figured now would be a good time to tell you my top picks from this collection. This collection was a fairly even mix of love, like, meh and hate for me. My loves from this collection, in no particular order:

Yay! What were your top picks for the Bond collection? Honestly, if you had asked me my predictions from the press release, I'm sure only one of those would've made the cut. Isn't that how it always goes though!
