I wanted to share a manicure I did using Orly’s Spring 2013 Hope and Freedom Collection – Melodious Utopia.  I’m still working my way through all polishes in this lovely collection.

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with yellow polishes.  I like them but never like how they look on me.  Plus formulas tend to be kind of wacky.  So I was bit skeptical about how this yellow would fare on me.

Melodious Utopia is a creamy yellow shimmer polish.  It was hard to capture a good picture that showed off the gold/orange/pink shimmers it has throughout.  I used two coats.  I had no issues with the formula at all.

I was pleasantly surprised by how Melodious Utopia looked on me.  I was inspired to do some stamping and what came to mind was honeybees.  To achieve this look I used Winstonia plate W113, which has a cool honeycomb like pattern.  For the honeybee, I used Shany plate SH05.  I stamped with Konad special black polish.  

I give Melodious Utopia 5 brains.
