If you’ve seen the latest episodes of Doctor Who, you’ll have seen Amy Pond and her fantastic nail polishes. I’ve written previously about the grayish purple polish and now I’m in search of a dupe for the orange she had in “The Lodger” and “The Pandorica Opens.”
It looks a bit like three different shades, depending on the lighting, so I’m not sure what color it is, really. I think it’s a dusty pumpkin?
So far, the closest I’ve come is OPI’s Hot & Spicy:
I bought this at a local beauty supply shop and it’s much more saturated than I’m looking for. I’m hoping that one of the new Fall or Halloween collections might have something closer, or maybe I’ll try OPI’s In My Back Pocket if I can find it.
The polish itself is great, though. Typical OPI! Smooth application and two coats to get bottle color. It’s not what I was looking for, but it’s actually a great color and has encouraged me to try more orange polishes.
Some other colors that I’m going to look at as a dupe for Amy’s orange polish are Color Club’s Oh Naturale, China Glaze’s Peachy Keen, and Nubar’s Orange Cream, which was featured on the London runways earlier this year.
