Quo Nail Polish Holder/Caddy


Forgive the lousy cell phone pics but I spied this at Shoppers Drug Mart the other day and thought i would share it with you. An interesting idea. I guess if you regularly transport a 3-5 polishes with you its a great idea.


One side is a mesh see through bag. and then there is a padded divider that separates the two sides.


And the other side is a felt covered cardboard type form that fits in to perfectly hold 5 Quo By Orly nail polishes.


As you can see, the forms are well made sot hat the polishes stay put even if its not filled. If however they are a different brand, they are not going to fit as the these polishes are quite a unique bottle shape.


Overall, its a neat idea, but the reality is I rarely take more than 1 or two bottles ANYWHERE with me, and the odds of my taking a Quo polish are slim since I own about 8 within my 1500+ collection.


So what do you think? Would this work for you? Can you picture using this?

Quo by Orly Pink Champagne & Paint The Town Red


So as mentioned before my mom Pink (y) Jinx (ok, its a funny story, though she doesn't think so. I was recovering from surgery and was unable to commit to participating in the Secret Santa Swap I organize so she stepped in for me. As I am known as blue jinx she signed the card pink jinx. The person she sent to for some reason read or saw pinky jinx or made the typo and it kind of stuck. Every time she is referred to as pinky jinx she gets mad and says its pink jinx). Anyways, here are the two polishes from the holiday glitter collection that she purchased!


Pink Champagne is a sheer base filled with (and I mean FILLED with) holographic pink bar glitter.




Two coats on its own, and one coat over black!




Paint The Town Red held no interest to me until I swatched it. Now I think I need it. BAH!!! I am TOTALLY blaming my mom for this one. It is her fault I need this. If she wasn't so into polish she never would have got it and I would never have known I needed it. We will ignore and deny the fact that it was probably MY obsession with polish that pushed her into HER obsession with it! Won't admit THAT!!

Anyways, this polish is a clear base loaded with metallic red microglitter and small hexagonal matte red glitter.





Two coats on its own and one coat over black. This was slightly goopy and certainly not as easy as Pink Champagne to apply. But  not so hard or thick that it was problematic.




These polishes are available nationwide at Shoppers Drug Mart and retail for 9.99.

Quo By Orly Glitters!!


So I was going to show you all the new collection and make a comment about possibly wanting the blue and the silver ones. But by a really RANDOM coincidence my mom was walking in from work as I was typing this post up. And what do I see when I walk in to her bedroom??!! Two of these polishes!! So while not the two I would ever purchase (The pink is pink, so obviously not, and the red is pretty, but I just got the Lippmann red glitter from last years holiday set that I am in love with) but I thought I would share them with you anyways! So stay tuned for Paint The Town Red (red glitter) and Pink Champagne (pink bar glitter). Both swatches will be up later in the week! And a thanks to mom (apparently known as Pinky Jinx) for allowing  me to post them!!!
