Breathable Sunkissed is Orly’s #1 bestseller in the Breathable line. It is a pumpkin cream, burnt orange nail polish that looks beautiful and shiny in two coats.
In the range of fall nail polishes that exist, and specifically fall orange nail polishes, this shade is more on the brown side, but it is still orange, you might even call it wet terracotta, as a color.
It is slightly sheer in two coats, giving the polish a jelly-look with some depth and dimension to it.
Pros of Sunkissed:
One bottle manicure
Goes on smooth
Infused with Argan oil and vitamin b5
These nourishing ingredients give it a similarity to Sally Hansen’s Color Therapy line, but it differs with that line in that this color is a one bottle manicure - no base or top coat needed.
It’s an all-in-one, and plenty nourishing and shiny without the extra steps.
Color Therapy requires the color, the base and the top coat, meaning you need 3x the product to achieve a similar outcome.

Considerations for this shade:
It’s not a fast-dry nail polish, so it can take some time to fully “cure.”
It is dry to the touch within 15 minutes of applying, but it can take up to 1 hour to fully set, especially in more humid environments.
That means you can still smudge it if you immediately start to dig around in your purse for keys, mess around with cast iron cookware, or try gardening.
This is a polish that is best applied when you have an hour or so to read a book, listen to music or watch your favorite show afterwards. If you need it to dry faster, check out this post: How To Make Nail Polish Dry Faster.
To end, this is a gorgeous shade worthy of consideration for your fall nail polish circuit.
In the Breathable line, Sunkissed included, your nails are being nourished as you wear it because the polishes in the Breathable line are treatment polishes. It’s great if you’ve been subjecting your nails to the chlorinated pool water or wearing them down in the garden all summer, for example.
If your nails need a bit of R&R this is one to throw in your bag for trips, or include in your limited-space vanity. Because you only need the one bottle, it is a very efficient nail polish for small storage situations.
