Twinsie Tuesday: Orly Rock Solid

EDIT: Thanks to reader Dawn for pointing out that this polish is Orly Rock Solid, not Orly Stone Cold like I originally labelled it. D'oh! This is what happens when you write posts at 3 a.m.

This week's Twinsie Tuesday theme is a pretty unique one: a polish the same color as your car! When I was shopping for a new car about a year and a half ago, I specifically remember looking at the color selection booklet and saying, "I want any color except white or that Monterey Grey." Lo and behold, Monterey Grey was what they had in the model I wanted, so Monterey Grey is what I got. I like the car but the color's pretty blah. It's not terrible, but there's nothing exciting about it either. Here's an old mobile pic of my car, Lola. I can't be the only one out there who names their car, right? She's a 2012 Ford Fiesta.

I may not really like grey as a car color, but I love me some grey nail polish. So I decided to have a little fun with this theme and go with Orly Rock Solid. Rock Solid is a gunmetal foil with pieces of holographic glitter embedded in it. It came out as part of Orly's Mineral FX Collection, which automatically means it kicks ass! Obviously my car's paint doesn't have the holo glitter, although that would be totally rad.

 

Now that I look at pictures, I see that Rock Solid maybe isn't all that close to my car color. My car is more of a blue-based grey than a gunmetal grey. I probably should have gone with what I was originally thinking: OPI Suzi Skis In The Pyrenees. But I think Rock Solid is more fun, so at least there's that.

 

Although it may not be a perfect match to my car, Rock Solid is still an amazing polish. I used two coats for this mani. I love the shine and texture of it. It's got this great smoky look that's perfect for fall.

 

I can't wait to see everyone else's car this week! What was your very first car? Mine was a red 2003 Mini Cooper and I loved it to pieces!
