Hi everyone! Today’s manicure is the first from the newest Orly Holiday 2017 collection called Darlings of Defiance. You can see my sneak peek into this collection, including all six of the bottle shots HERE. I am not affiliated with Orly.

Penny Leather is a medium/dark brown creme with just a touch of red. It looks darker inside and lightens up once you get into a brighter area or outside. The formula was excellent! This is just ONE coat on all but my index finger which I added a second coat to. If you’re looking for a nice brown creme, this is a pretty great one!
Orly Penny Leather, 1 coat (with 2 coats on index) plus topcoat.

Inside without flash. These were taken in two different areas, so lighting and skin tone may look different…

Outside on an overcast day…



Someone on MUA asked how Penny Leather compares to Zoya Pepper. Pepper is a touch darker and has a bit more red to it. Otherwise, they are very close!
2 coats of each with flash…


While I was outside taking my photos, a hummingbird came for a drink…

One of my favorite kinds, a ruby throated hummingbird…

Well, there we have it!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
The polish in this post is from my own collection and was purchased by me.
