China Glaze ~ Hook and Line + Luxe and Lush

Another from the Hunger Game collection. Hook and Line. It is a pearly, shimmery, "tin-like" silver. Sadly it is also a streaky, frosty mess.

Two coats, no topcoat.






 Apparently adding topcoat can help with fixing some of the streakyness, but I had other plans. In this collection there is also an effect polish called Luxe and Lush. Here is one coat L&L over 2 coats H&L:





And a bottleshot to show you the golden, flakie, prettyness:


Just too bad that even though I was swatching nailpolish for literally three hours or so, there was not even a faint glimmer of sun :-(

Color Club ~ Secret agent

This is from CC's spring collection "Alter ego".



This is three coats with topcoat. It's a medium purple with a sort of frosty shimmer to it, but the frost element doesn't go all streaky. Bit more of a "pearly" frost, if it was possible for a purple to be pearly .-) The formula was really nice, the fact that I manage to bump into everything before it dries is entirely my own fault :-p.
