Orly Chocolate Martini

A little background:

In my latest Ulta shopping spree, I picked up 9 mini Orly polishes during Ulta's B2G1FREE sale. These minis are priced at $3.50 each and have 1.8 oz. of product inside. Ever since I received mini Zoya polishes in my Birchboxes, I have been preferring the smaller polish bottles because to-date, I have never finished off a full size bottle of polish. I know these bottles will last me a long time, considering I gain new polishes every month, I rarely wear a polish twice in a month (or even twice in a year for some polishes in my collection).

Orly Chocolate Martini

Transdesign.com says this polish is a glitter polish, although it's so micro that I would have just called it a metallic polish. Surprisingly, Chocolate Martini is not chocolately at all, more of a warm golden bronze. Yes, a GOLDEN BRONZE! At different angles this color changes between gold and bronze, it's amazingly gorgeous! I'm not normally one for metallics, but because this shade doesn't hold to one color it doesn't have that pure metallic effect that I find boring in so many metallic polishes out there.
