Glow, a nude crème, is part of ORLY’s All Fired Up Collection for Autumn Winter 2012. In all honesty, these very pale nude tones don’t excite me a lot, probably because I don’t think they suit my skin tone, but I know lots of you love them so here are some swatches! Generally speaking, Dior Safari Beige is as light and mannequinesque as I tend to go {review here}.
Glow is an extremely pale nude, in a tone that almost reminds me of the palest sand on tropical beaches. It applies well and is opaque in two coats, though I generally wear three with such light shades.
I was surprised to see a polish named Glow in such close succession to ORLY’s Summer 2012 Glowstick, the most neon yellow ever! For this reason, I felt obliged to neon this one up just a teensy bit!
Better, huh? I like it so much more like this!
I did the little row of dots using ORLY Cabana Boy {review here - eek how much smaller my thighs were a year ago!} and my new dotting tool, which I’m holding in these pics, part of a set I picked up for peanuts on eBay.
It’s really easy to use… just dip the end in the polish and dot on your nails.

Flare Flicker Glow Ignite Rapture Smoulder
Which would you choose? It’s quite a classic AW set; for me the stand outs are Flicker, a metallic burnt orange and Ignite, a cherry red crème. Each shade costs £7.50, though I’d be most likely to go for this cute set of minis from Beauty Bay for £12.95.
Does All Fired Up ignite your fire, or are you just smouldering? (sorry, couldn’t resist!)
