So i'm in Russia right now but I did manage to leave a post or two scheduled for the week. So today's polish in the
Alphabet Challenge is another pleasant surprise. In the bottle it looks like meh. Simple, creme, dusty... But on my nails I think this is a true beauty. This is
Orly -
Quite Contrary Berry.

Quite Contrary Berry is from Orly's Neue Neutrals collection from 2007 and since then it was entered into their permanent color collection. It's a dusty raspberry color that I think would look lovely on any skin tone. It is not quite red, nor quite pink or brown or whatever. It is some gorgeous mix in between.

Application was easy. Two thin, even coats that dried to a shiny gloss. In all the swatch pics you see no top coat!

And just for the fun, I did a little bit of sponging and stamping on my ring finger. First I sponged a bit of Milani - White on the Spot mixed with Orly - Quite Contrary Berry to make an un-even lighter area on the nail, and then I stamped the dots from DRK-A plate using the very same Orly - Quite Contrary Berry.

Naturally, on the stamping you do see some top coat. But you can see how glossy this polish is looking on the other nails next to it!
So, what do you think of this color? Is it for you?

This is GREAT! I love berry colors and I have never heard of this one. Congrats on having a "Q" too!
It is for me indeed! :D I have a similar color, a little Debby I purchased in Paris and used almost to its end! This color seems very close to it, and you are right, it suits you like a glove! Berrylicious :p
I really like this one. Such a classy, gorgeous creme.
This is gorgeous and I love the stamping on the accent nail!
This is a really great sponging technique- I'm going to have to try it!

Wow!! Another Orly I need to add to my wish list! That two, today! This is a gorgeous color and one I know I would wear often. It would be good for any season!
