Orly Minderal FX - Rock Solid

HI!


Have you ever passed on a polish only to later find you freaking really like it after all? This is my relationship with Rock Solid. I passed on it initially and got Stone Cold instead. I always wished in the back of my mind I would have nabbed it. Than a fellow lovely blogger Katrice of Blue Polish held a giveaway and I won this bad boy! (FYI - it was my first time ever winning one! Woo Hoo!) Here it is!








 Rock Solid is a gun metal/dark silver polish with a scattered holo affect. Application was truly great, I used two thin coats and it was good to go! Beautiful metallic foil color, great pigment payoff, the only small letdown was the scattered holo didn't translate well from bottle to the nail. It was there, don't get me wrong, but just not was strongly as the bottle itself. I still really like SC though!





Overall, I really like the two Orly Mineral FX polishes that I own. I really want to try more, I have a pretty long wishlist! :p 


Orly Mineral FX polishes are a little pricier than their regular line, pricing at about $8.99/bottle.
