Color Club – Pucci-Licious

5

I got tired of the pink glitter on my nails and decided to cheer myself up with some nail polish. I chose Color Club’s Pucci-Licious for that and it did it’s job perfectly. This shade is from CC’s neon collection although it’s not exactly a neon color.

IRL my nails look great but on the photo they look too big and tips are too round. Camera has no mercy on me and my nails as usual ;)

This is an interesting color. On the other hand it’s strikingly beautiful and then again it’s just your everyday creme. Either way I love it and on these nails it looks fierce.

Quality on this is excellent and it’s opaque with two coats (obviously not a neon shade then). This dries semi-matte so you shine junkies out there need a topcoat with this one.

In this mani I used Pucci-Licious x2 and Seche Vite on top.

My skin tone on the photo looks weird cos I had to adjust the camera settings and also adjust the colors with photoshop. This was one of those pain-in-the-ass shades to photograph. No matter what you do it looks too blue *sigh* I think I got the color to look pretty accurate though (on my monitor anyways).

 

Color Club’s Lava Lamp with Dior’s Indian Saffron + an attack of a killer balcony window

8

Here’s a nice summer-y manicure. Color Club Lava Lamp is bright neon orange creme. It’s really cool on it’s own but this time I wanted some depth to the shade so I added Dior Indian Saffron on top of it. Indian Saffron is sheer, peachy color which has a lot of micro-glitter in it.

In the first photo I have one coat of OPI NNS and two coats of Lava Lamp.

On the Second pic I have added two coats of Dior Indian Saffron and a coat of Seche Vite on top.

In the last pic you see what happened to my poor nail yesterday morning. Killer balcony window attacked my left index finger nail and almost tore the whole thing off. I can tell you that really HURT and it actually still does! The torn part is still attached and it’s hanging by a tiny bit of nail. I don’t have the balls to remove it cos it hurts way too much. Now I keep hitting it everywhere and screaming every 5 mins. I filed the nail as short as I could after taking that pic and now I try to survive with a little help from a band aid for the next couple of weeks.

Now I’m also gonna have to live with one nail shorter than the others for a while cos I don’t want to cut all of my nails super short. At least I’m on a maternity leave and no one pays attention to my nails here at home :P

Oh the horror!!!

 

Color Club Pardon My French Collection – Part 3

0

 

Here are the glitters layered with creme polishes and they definitely look the best this way.

I layered Turn The Other Chic with five polishes and the results looked really good. It changed the neon-green Color Club Feelin’ Groovy into more grassy/nuclear green, very cool looking shade. It also gave black polish a hint of golden green. It was nice and pale over white creme and very bright and fresh looking on bright yellow Color Club Almost Famous.

I also took new pics of Oh Naturale and I Believe In Amour with just one coat on.

These are just quick swatches so no base or topcoat on these pics.

I Believe In Amour (1 coat)
Oh Naturale (1 coat)

Color Club Pardon My French Collection – Part 2

3

Here are the glitter polishes from the Pardon My French collection. These are very sheer and have multicolored glitter in them.

Hot Couture is peachy looking in the bottle but doesn’t leave much color on the nails.

Turn The Other Chic is fun yellow glitter and gives most coverage out of these three.

Si Vous Please! is clear slightly blue tinted polish. The hint of blue saves the day in this polish and even if it’s very sheer my yellow-ish nail tips look bright white with this one so you can wear it alone too.

These work the best when layered with the creme polishes from this collection and I’ll show you pics of that tomorrow :)

 

Hot Couture (3 coats)

Color Club Pardon My French Collection – Part 1

3

 

Better late than never I guess. I finally have the pics of the Color Club Pardon My French Collection. I got these early this year but since the baby came I’ve had absolutely no time at all to swatch these until now.

This is a great collection with seven shades, four cremes and three glitter polishes.

On these photos I only have the polish on, no base or topcoat. On this post I’ll show you the creme ones and tomorrow I’ll post about the glitters.

 

Pardon My French (4 coats)

 

I believe In Amour (3 coats) 
Oh Naturale (3 coats)

 

Take Me To Your Chateau (2 coats)

 

 

These were once again good Color Club quality. The only one I had a slight problem in application was Pardon My French and that would work better too with a little more time and patience when working with it.

Oh Naturale and I Believe In Amour are sheer ones and work great starting from the first coat. I actually prefer them better with just one coat and I’ll have to photograph them that way too.

Take Me To Your Chateau is well pigmented and is opaque with just one coat.

In a mood for nude – Color Club’s Linen & Silk

2

Right now I love having nude nails. I spent quite some time without wearing any polish. If I do my nails I use sheer/light colors or do a basic french mani. This happens to me every now and then and passes quite quickly ;)

Color Club’s Linen & Silk is a perfect choice when I’m in a mood for nude. Light sand colored shimmer polish applies perfectly starting from the first coat and is opaque on the third coat.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x1, Linen & Silk x2 and Seche Vite on top.

 

Color Club Poptastic Collection – Jackie Oh!

4

Another bright color to cheer up this cloudy and wet winter day here in Finland. Jackie Oh! is a lovely coral-y pink neon shade. This is also from the new Poptastic collection.

The quality on this one is also very good. Polish applies well and is opaque in 2-3 coats depending on the length of your nails. Seche Vite dried this one super fast. This shade isn’t a basic neon pink, it’s bright coral color and it makes me think retro-pin up when I look at it. Regardless of the crazy bright color this polish still looks elegant and will look great next to a tanned summer skin.

If these neon shades feel like a bit much to be worn on your finger nails you still might wanna get a bottle for your toes. Bright, summer-y color makes your spring toes look great and summer feels like one step closer :)

Again, the photo does not do justice to the shade. It is much brighter IRL. These neons are just too hard to photograph correctly. You have to try these yourself to know how they really look.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x1, Jackie Oh! x2 and Seche Vite on top.

 

Color Club Poptastic Collection – Mrs. Robinson

3

Nyt seuraa tunnustus :P Tämä on ensimmäinen kerta yli kuukauteen, kun lakkasin kynteni. Loppuraskaudessa ei enää jaksanut keskittyä kynsiin ja vauvan synnyttyä energiaa oli vielä vähemmän. Noin pitkän tauon jälkeen teki mieli lopettaa kuiva kausi jollakin räväkällä sävyllä ja valitsin siihen tarkoitukseen Color Clubin Mrs. Robinson sävyn uudesta Poptastic neon kokoelmasta.

Here’s a fun fact for you guys :P This is the first time in over a month that I have polish on my nails. Late pregnancy didn’t make me feel like doing my nails and after the baby arrived I had even less energy. After a break that long I needed an energetic shade and I chose Color Club Mrs. Robinson from their new Poptastic neon collection.

This shade is very close to the Power Play shade from their older neon collection. I don’t know if it’s cos of the age of my Power Play bottle but I can see a slight difference between these two shades. I also tested them next to each other on a piece of clear plastic and I was still able to see the difference. Unfortunately this polish is a BIG pain in the butt to photograph and my camera isn’t able to capture the subtle difference between these two shades.

The quality of this polish is excellent. It’s thin, applies like butter and is opaque with two coats. It also dries fast. This is a perfect shade for my skin tone and cos of the great quality I will be using this one more than once.

The photo does not do justice to this shade at all. It is real hot-neon-purple and the camera just sucks all the life out of it :( It might not be a truly unique shade but it sure is beautiful.

On this mani i used: OPI NNS x1, Mrs. Robinson x2 and Seche Vite on top.

 

Color Club Pink Lust meets bling!

5

Here’s the mani I made on New Years Eve. I got inspired by my new Dior eyeshadow and wanted my nails to be pink and silver too. The base is Color Club’s neon creme Pink Lust and the glitter is Color Club mini, Wonderland, from their Holiday collection.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Pink Lust x2, Wonderland x1 (another coat on the tips) and Seche Vite to dry it all faster.
