Color Club – Worth The Risque

6

After all of those red Christmas manis I felt a need to have something a little more neutral on my nails. Color Club Worth The Risque is a perfect choice for that plus there’s something festive about it so it’s great for preparing for New Years Eve ;)

Worth The Risque is silver-y grey holographic polish. It’s quite thin and applies very well. Two coats is enough for an opaque result and it dries quickly. The holographic effect is not too strong but it’s still clearly visible. I love the quality of Color Club holographic polishes. They are all very easy to apply, well pigmented and they dry real fast.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Worth The Risque x2 and Seche Vite on top.

 

Color Club – Reddy Or Not

5

Näin joulunaikaan punaiset kynnet kuuluvat asiaan. Niinpä päätinkin tällä kertaa lakata kynteni Color Clubin Reddy Or Not sävyllä. Tämä on yksi täydellisimmistä omistamistani punaisista creme lakoista. Kirkas paloautonpunainen, oranssipohjainen sävy on todella näyttävä. Jos haluat omistaa ainoastaan yhden punaisen creme lakan tämä olisi erittäin hyvä valinta.

Christmas time is here and what would be a more perfect color for a mani than bright red? So here we go, Color Club’s Reddy Or Not. This is one of the most perfect red cremes I own. Bright, orange based, firetruck red shade. If you only want one red creme this is a great choice.

Reddy Or Not is also perfect quality. It applies like butter, is very well pigmented and dries fast. Two coats was enough for my nails.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Reddy Or Not x2 and Poshe on top.

 

More green nails – Color Club Under The Mistletoe with Sally Hansen Glow

6

Green manicure once again :D This time I wanted to try my new Under The Mistletoe shade, the green glitter polish from Color Club’s Wonderland collection. Since removing glitter polish is still big pain in the butt (IMO) I decided to put regular polish underneath it and I chose to use Sally Hansen’s shade Glow.

Under The Mistletoe is a sheer green polish with a lot of silver glitter in it. It looked so sheer in the bottle I thought it would be a good idea to apply a couple of coats of Glow first and only one coat of glitter polish. This helps the removing process too. The gold shimmer on Sally Hansen’s Glow transformed the silver glitter in Under The Mistletoe into a more gold-ish shade. The effect doesn’t fully show in these pics but the result was really beautiful :)

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x1, Sally Hansen Glow x2, Under The Mistletoe x1 and Poshe on top as usual.

 

Color Club – Love ’em Leave ’em and Wild At Heart

4

Then the last two polishes from the new Color Club collection. These would be the two holographic shades.

Love ’em Leave ’em is sand-y/golden brown holo polish. The holo effect is not too strong on this one but still visible. One coat of this is enough for opaque result and it applies like butter. This is a really beautiful shade and not at all boring like some lighter colors can be.

Wild At Heart is a purple holo and the collection is named after it. The holographic effect is more visible on this one, this is a lot like the other Color Club holos. This is also opaque with one coat and applies oh so smoothly. This one really glows on your nails. Very pretty!

On both pics only two coats of polish without base or topcoats.

 

Color Club – Wild And Willing and On The Wild Side

4

I’ve been pretty busy and I haven’t been able to blog for a few days, but now I’m back and here’s the next two polishes from the new Color Club Wild At Heart collection :)

Wild And Willing is truly awesome polish. This one is hard to descripe, it’s sort of copper-y/gold/pink-ish duochrome. This one looks amazing on nails and the shade is truly unique. Two coats was enough. The photo doesn’t do justice to the shade and you can only experience how amazing this polish is by trying it out yourself!

On The Wild Side is smokey grey metallic polish. The shade is beautiful and the polish is well pigmented but I just don’t get along with metallic finish polishes. I can’t apply them without seeing the brushstrokes on the nails :/

Again both pics only have two coats of polish and no base or topcoat.

 

Color Club – Rule Breaker and With Abandon

5

Here’s the first two pics from the new Color Club Wild At Heart collection. I can’t really say anything about how long these stay without chipping or how long they take to dry since I only swatched them quickly and took the photos. I’ll get back at that later on.

Rule Breaker is a gorgeous green with a hint of blue in it and this is a good candidate for my first test with Essie’s Matte About You (if the mail man ever delivers that to my mailbox). Rule Breaker is well pigmented and applies smooth as butter. I’m still a sucker for green and this is a true winner for me!

With Abandon is a dark black/brown-ish polish with gold micro-glitter. In this one the glitter stays clearly visible on the nails and this is a truly beautiful shade. I used this to do my mom’s mani and this looked awesome on very short nails too. With Abandon takes two coats to be opaque and applies pretty smoothly too.

Both pics are taken with only two coats of polish and no base or top coat.

 

Getting over my fear of glitter polish!

5

I managed to destroy my green Aragon manicure pretty fast and I tried to save the situation with a coat of Color Club Magic Attraction glitter polish. This is from last year’s Color Club Glitter Vixen collection that had seven gorgeous glitter polishes in it.

With this mani I’m also trying to get rid of my fear for glitter polish or more like the fear of removing it. Glitter polishes are absolutely gorgeous to look at but removing them is a big pain in the butt :/ This time I’m going to use acetone nail polish remover and let it sit on the nail for a bit before trying to remove the polish. We’ll see how that works out this time or will I once again swear that I’ll never use glitter polish again ;)

In the pic I have one coat of Magic Attraction and one coat of Poshe on top of my dark green OPI Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow manicure.

 

Color Club – Fast Woman

2

I couldn’t decide which one of my new polishes to test first so I chose one that I bought a couple of months back, Color Club Fast Woman. Fast Woman was too dark for my summer mood so I wanted to save it for more appropriate time of year. This is a perfect shade for fall. Deep red polish that doesn’t look like black in any light. Sunlight brings out the brilliant red shade this polish has. Vampy perfection in a bottle!

Fast Woman is well pigmented, quite thin in the bottle and it applies very well. Two coats was enough for an opaque result. Poshe also dried this one really fast. Good Color Club quality.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Fast Woman x2 and Poshe Super Fast Drying TopCoat. I took the photo in direct sunlight and the redness of it comes out real well. When there’s less light the shade is deeper and darker.

Like most likely most of you, I have also seen the swatches of the new Color Club Wild At Heart Fall 2009 Collection. I just can’t wait to get my hands on it. Two new holos too!! :D

Thank you Color Club for yet another great collection!!

 

Color Club – Flair

2

Today I’m wearing Color Club Flair. I love this intensive orange-y red shade. It is so bright and eye catching without being neon. I gotta test this one on a pedicure next. I’ll definitely will re-photograph this when my nails are longer.

Flair was well pigmented and applied perfectly. For some reason I imagined this one being sheer but it’s quite the opposite. One coat of this is enough for short nails. Longer nails might need more than one coat. I used two cos I needed more protection for my nails.

This is a day old manicure and I used: OPI NNS x2, Flair x2 and Seche Vite.

 

Color Club – Limelight

3

Here’s another great shade for short nails, Color Club Limelight. This is a refreshing grass-y-neon-green creme polish and like the photo number two shows, it’s cute on toes too ;)

Limelight is thin in the bottle and quite sheer. For short nails two coats is enough but longer nails will need 3-4 coats. This applies well and dries really fast.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Color Club Limelight x2 and my best friend Seche Vite on top. This shade is more green in real life. I tried to adjust the colors in Photoshop but I still couldn’t get it to match exactly so the shade in the photos looks a little pale compared to the real thing.
