Last weekend, while perusing a Sally Beauty Supply, I stumbled upon the Dark Shadows Collection from Orly! One shade in particular caught my eye but I figured why not get the 4 piece collection since there was a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale. I picked up a couple of neons for my two free, so look for those swatches soon!
This collection from Orly is inspired by the Tim Burton movie, Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp (naturally) and Michelle Pfeiffer. I’m sure this movie will do well in the box office, I know I want to see it!
First is Decades of Dysfunction, which I didn’t think I would like at all but really loved! It has this pretty blush tint to it and looks lovely, in my opinion. I used 3 coats since this one is a thin formula but it applied well.

Next, is Grave Mistake, which truly turned out to be a deep, blood red and very vampire-like! This is not normally a color I would reach for but it looks OK on me, besides the fact that my camera kept making the skin around my nails look like it was tinted red! This is just 2 coats, nice formula, great coverage.

Third, we have Buried Alive, which is a gorgeous brown polish with a complex look. This one reminds me of the dead leaves you might see covering acemetary and is appropriately named! In these photos, I used just 2 coats for great coverage and loved the formula on this one. It applied very well.
Just because Buried Alive is one of my favorites, here’s another photo:

My most favorite, the one that caught my eye at Sally’s, is Mysterious Curse. This one is all purply/blue and gloriously beautiful! I used 2 coats for these photos and the formula was just right but the brush on this one was a total mess! I will definitely be exchanging this one for a bottle with a nice brush.

Yep, I love this one the best so here’s a third photo:

What do you think of the Dark Shadows Collection? Will you be searching for any of these colors? Will you see the Dark Shadows movie? Leave a comment, I love to hear from you!
I love mysterious curse and I actually like decades… After seeing it! Thanks for making me need to go back and get that one too! Haha. I only grabbed MC and a neon- glowstick. 🙂
I LOVE mysterious curse!! And after seeing it I kinda like decades… too! I only got MC tho along with “glowstick” from their neon collection. They weren’t b2g1 free when I got em. Boo!!!
I got glowstick too! and the orange one, can’t recall the name at the moment. Love those sales so I had to take advantage while it was running!
