Color club ~ Foiled metallics swatches

And here they are in their full beauty. And oh my are they beauties. All of these are two coats, no topcoat except for Perfect Mol-ten. Behold:

Cold metal:




Medium denim blue. Daylight but sadly a mean cloud in front of the sun. These are truly jam packed with a fine silver glitter. you can see the "silver veins" in the bottle, and I was a bit worried about even application due to this, but it was not an issue at all. All in my imagination. Great colour, one of my top three.

Hot like lava:




Deep, medium pink. And by deep I don't really mean dark, but very saturated. This is definately not a barbie-pink. Cerise? It's pretty no matter what you decide to call it, that's for sure.

Lumin-icecent:




This was one of the colours I'd looked forward to the most. True icy blue. a light version of the blue you can see deep down in a glacier crevice. I won't say i was directly disappointed with this, but I had hoped it would pack a bit more of a punch. As it is it's more silvery-blue than icy-blue. But still a very pretty polish, and I shall cherish it for a long long time.

Foil me once:



Second pink of the collection. This is a lighter pink than Hot like lava. More pure "barbie" pink. I'm going to try this one as a stamping polish, but I can't really see myself wearing it as a regular mani. Nothing wrong with the polish, just not my cup of tea.

Antiquated:




Champage-pink foil. Very neutral and nice colour. Another one that doesn't necessarily scream "wear me" to me, but I can see this as a nice office polish without being too drab, and also I think it'll have a nice potential for stamping.

Perfect mol-ten:




This has a layer of Seche vite on top, as I decided this colour is so gorgeous I have to wear it as a full mani for a day atleast. Really stunning. I'm desperately trying to accurately describe this one, but I'm not sure I have the words. It's a bit like China Glaze Cherish, only less yellow, more silver and foil instead og frost. This was the one I wanted the most, and it did definately not disappoint! My favourite of the collection.

So to sum up. 4 awesome polishes and 2 ok. Great formula, good dry time. And at 3 bucks a pop I absolutely recommend everyone to get these. Are you getting any? All? Any obvious favourites?

Color club ~ Foiled bottleshots

Another day, another package in the mailbox :-D

Today I came home to Color club's Foiled collection plus three of the glitters from Beyond the mistletoe. Hope I can swatch them tomorrow, but for now; bottleshots:

Foiled:













Beyond the mistletoe:






Holiday splendor is not colour-accurate in this shot, it's much more green and less blue. Beyond the mistletoe is INSANE! Just look:





Sparkles! Rainbows! Glitter! Holo! Swoon!

China Glaze ~ Adore

Adore, Je t'adore!!!




This is one time I really wish I 1: had a decent camera and 2: I actually knew how to use the one I have. This one is a turquoise, metallic, foil-y, shimmery beauty. Extra-bonus? It's a one coater! I did this quite late at night and actually expected to have to add another coat in the morning, but no. I do have a couple of spots that would've looked better if I'd taken a bit extra care, but nothing too obvious. This is really one of my favorites regardless of colour or finish.
