Nail Polish Swatch: Orly - Cowabunga! (1980's Summer 2025)^

Cowabunga! is a neon polish and so it is very difficult to get a colour accurate photo. It is a neon orange cream and dries down demi matte so I used topcoat.

Nail Polish Battle 2025: Nude, Orange, Pink and Yellow

Today I am sharing the 14 polishes that are nude, orange, pink or yellow.

Orly Totally Clueless^ // Orly Shaggin Wagon^ // Barry M Limoncello // Orly Leave Britney Alone^ // Orly So Fetch^ // Orly Cowabunga!^ // Orly Hunky Dory^ // Barry M Pink Paloma // Barry M Peach Spritz // Orly Most Definitely^ // Orly Juicy Velour^ // Orly Night Fever^ // ILNP Brightside // Orly Light My (Camp) Fire^

There were a lot of polishes to whittle down in this category, nude and yellow polishes were easy to remove but the oranges were harder. In the top three there was a cream, a holo and a shimmer;

Barry M Peach Spritz // ILNP Brightside // Orly Light My (Camp) Fire^

But for me the winner had to be Light My (Camp) Fire^, it is a deep orange base with a bright copper shimmer which really does look glowy;
