Color Club: Over the Moon

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well! Today I'd like to show you a color (sent to me for consideration) called Over the Moon by Color Club. Over the Moon is a light blue linear holographic polish.  Holos are just so much fun, when they hit the light it's just a kaleidoscopic of color. What else can I say? So pretty!

This is actually a really opaque, almost one coater! I used two for the opacity shown but if you're super careful you will absolutely be able to get away with one. What's better than that!? No streaking, no balding.

Love this one! How about you?

Well that was short and sweet! I wanted to say hi to you all and thank you, as always for coming and reading the blog. I hope you're all doing well.  I am! I am enjoying my new job and am really excited for what's to come!

What else is going on? Well, I have been told by the Dr. to go gluten-free. What a pain! So I have been doing that, not easily, but doing it. Any of you gluten free? How do you do it? I mean no calzones? No bread basket? No tortillas. It's really sad. I did, however, find a really great bakery nearby that makes killer gluten free cupcakes. One craving satisfied! Any tips are much appreciated. 

Until next time, have a fantastic day!

Color Club: Beyond

Hi everyone! Are you ready to have your mind blown? Alright, not really, it's just nail polish, but it's pretty beautiful and I am excited about it. This is Beyond  from Color Club. It's an insanely gorgeous deep blue/charcoal/nearly black linear holographic polish. Can you believe your eyes? Stunning. The holographic shimmer is just so beautiful and quite profound in the right lighting. 

This beauty went on perfectly in two coats. I had no issues at all with this formula, in fact it was a pleasure to apply. No balding, streaking or pooling. I barely had to do any cleanup with this, which is pretty awesome given the dark color. 

  

Now at first glance you may think this is the same as Color Club's Revvvolution  but Revvvolution's base is much more grey and  the holo is not as strong. In fact, I called Revvolution's holo "subtle" in my review of it back in 2010. Have a look at my old review of Revvvolution here. 

I don't have much else to say. This is absolutely beautiful. What do you think?

Color Club: By Design with OPI's Sparkle-icious

Hello beautiful readers! Happy Tuesday! I thought it was Monday because my office was closed for Columbus Day yesterday, I love long weekends!! Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian readers.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Tell me in the comments below what you're thankful for and also what you had for your Thanksgiving meal!

Today I have two polishes to share with you though one is older and likely featured on the blog before. The first color I have is a gorgeous vampy burgundy creme by Color Club called By Design. Color club calls it a plum color which I can see as being an accurate color description.  This is from  the "True Fashion" collection for Fall 2012. This screams fall to me. It's absolutely gorgeous and has that blackened thing going on. 

I love Color Club and the formula on this one is excellent. I only needed two coats for full opacity. This went on smoothly and dried evenly. 

I decided this manicure needed an accent nail (I know I am late to the party on the accent nail trend but whatever, I like it now) so I went with OPI's Sparkle-icious from the old "Burlesque" collection.  I think the colors in this fabulous glitter went perfectly with the plum hue of By Design. What do you think?

Sparkle-icious contains purple, teal and gold glitter. It's absolutely lovely!

What do you think of this manicure?

Color Club: Editorial (In True Fashion Collection Fall 2012)

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Today I want to show you a color from Color Club's Fall 2012 In True Fashion Collection.  This is described as a peridot duochrome. It's quite interesting. It's green, it's gold, it's blue, it's brown, it's CRAZY LOL.

It's a really cool duochrome but the finish is sort of frosty which I really don't like. I don't like frosts because they streak. This streaked a little bit on me. I used two coats for opacity. 

 

  

What do you think about this one? Also, I had my hubby build me a light box. I am still getting the hang of it so please bear with me while I try to get the best lighting for it.

Color Club: Wing Fling (Take Wing Collection Summer 2012)

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had stellar weeks. Today I want to show you a color from Color Club's Take Wing collection (Summer 2012). All of the colors in this collection were really shimmery duo-chrome/ glass fleck type colors.  I have to admit, I'm not really a big fan of this finish. I know a lot of people love it but for me they always look better in the bottle than they do on.

Wing Fling is a bright magenta with a mostly pink/purple shimmer duochrome. The base is sheer and almost jelly like and it's packed with shimmery particles.  I am not a huge fan of this color on me, I just cannot pull off these magenta colors, especially when they are so shimmery. 

The polish went on smoothly and was a bit sheer. I needed three coats for full opacity. The glass flecks were smooth and not gritty or bumpy. The polish has a smooth finish and shines like the dickens! 

Overall this color and finish on me is just "meh" but I am sure someone out there will love it! What do you think of it?

Who has fun plans for the weekend? I want the details! :-)

Color Club: Fly With Me

Hi everyone! I hope all of my fellow Americans had a wonderful Independence Day. I didn't do anything but I did enjoy the day off.  I am so lazy I didn't do a festive 4th of July manicure. Sorry folks! If you haven't checked out Man Polish yet I highly suggest you do for some laughs. He wrote a hilarious post on the 4th of July Manicure. He's getting a lot of attention in the blogosphere lately and it's well deserved. Kudos to you Man Polish for coming up with a fun and unique blog idea!

Today I have a color from Color Club's Take Wing collection called Fly With Me. It's a sheer lime green with tons of shimmer that reflects all kinds of colors form green to yellow to blue to orange even. It's got an interesting finish.  To me it's very yellow based but I have seen swatches where it's much more green looking.  I can tell you that in indoor lighting it will look more green that my swatches but outside it looks just like my swatches, to me at least.  This is not a color I will find myself wearing often but it's nice enough.

This color is really sheer so I did need three coats for the opacity shown in the photos. It's not 100% opaque with the three but it's good enough for me. The polish applied smoothly with no streaking or balding. I used Seche Vite over the top like I always do but if you're someone who skips a top coat (blasphemy I tell you!) don't do it with this one, it will be pretty dull. 

What do you think of Fly With Me? Is it a color you have to have or something you'll skip?

Tell me, what did you do on the 4th of July?

Color Club: Sugar Plum Fairy (Under the Mistletoe Collection)

Howdy! Today I have a color from Color Club's Under the Mistletoe collection to share with you.  This beauty is called Sugar Plum Fairy and it's a light purple/silver/holo glitter. It's absolutely stunning in almost all lighting. I kept staring at my nails, holo glitter will do that to you! The color is just beautiful.

It's a pain in the bum to apply. It was thick and goopy and really annoying.  I used three coats and it was mostly opaque, maybe one more would do better but it was so obnoxious to apply I stopped at three. I had to keep closing the bottle and shaking it to get the globs and globs of glitter off the brush.  I topped it with Seche Vite to smooth it out and I found it worked well enough. 

It was also a pain to remove. Typical must soak glitter.

  

While it was annoying to both apply and remove I do love this polish. It's so pretty! I am a sucker for holo glitter.  

All this glitter for the season is killing my nails! I really need a glitter break!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink: Color Club: Fame & Fortune (Backstage Pass Collection)

Hi lovelies! This Pink Wednesday I have a crazy color from Color Club's Back Stage Pass Collection to share with you. This beauty is called Fame and Fortune and it's a hot pink jelly packed with varying sized glitter sheets... yes, sheets, I can't think of any other way to describe them.  

Now this was not easy to apply and took some time to get right. I used three coats for the opacity shown. The glitter is a pain in the butt to work with because the shape. The jelly base is really beautiful but I find it to be thick and, well, jelly like so I found myself periodically pausing my application to close and shake the bottle.  Eventually I got it on and looking good. I only had some of the glitter sticking up in an obnoxious way but I tamed it with an extra thick coat of Seche Vite. I think the results are worth the trouble because this one is unique and really pretty.

One of you mentioned you'd like to hear more on removal of glitters. Well this one is just as much a pain as most others are. It's a soaker.  I did find as well that, like many glitters in my collection it chipped very fast on me... like not even one day before it began to chip. No bueno. 

What do you think of this one? Worth the trouble applying and removing for you? Let me know in the comments!

For me, it's worth the hassle. I think it's super pretty and unique!
