Orly Nail Polish in Country Club Khaki Review and Swatches

I've been looking for a taupe nail polish that doesn't  make my fingers look dead. I went to my local Ulta to just look around for some deals and boy, was it my lucky day! They were having a BOGOfree on their Orly polishes! (this actually happened couple of weeks ago, I don't know if they still have the promo on) I picked up a minty shade and this taupe one which I'm going to review in this post. The shade is called Country Club Khaki.

this was my Ulta haul. ^_^ the polish at the back is the taupe-y one

At first swatch, I was kinda hesitant about this polish because it looked kinda muddy on my nails. It was nighttime when I did that and I only used a night lamp. I gave it a second chance few weeks after that and now I'm obsessed with it. 0_0

Please excuse my manicure because I don't really do nails, I just paint them. I'm just doing my best to keep them from bleeding since I do a lot of dishes and some hand-washing, hence the kitchen background ;)

I used two coats of this since it streaked a little bit the first time I applied it but I think it's opaque enough for a single coat of polish. This is just the polish alone, no top coat applied. I was surprised with the drying time because it only took like 5-10mins for it to dry completely considering the thickness of the formula.
