Here’s a photo of how a little splash of color perks up my project and makes it a little easier to live with short nails. My nails look instantly better and this is a gorgeous shade that works great with short nails too. The polish is of course Color Club Tangerine Scream. You’ve already seen it many many times but it is such an amazing color that I don’t mind photographing it more than once. This bright color brings a little something extra for my monday :)
Then last but definately not least Ultra Violet from the Color Club Electro Candy collection. IRL this purple shade reminds me of a dark grape. Depending on the lighting the shimmer looks blue-green-turquoise. This one is a little different from the other crazy bright polishes in this collection but not in a negative way. In my opinion this one is actually elegant and all purple nail polish lovers should check this out.
As all the others from this collection, Ultra Violet was thin in the bottle, quite sheer and application was excellent. In this mani I used: Ultra Violet x3 and Seche Vite on top.
Color Club Electro Candy collection also has a gorgeous blue nail polish Pure Energy. This is a bright light-ish blue shade with a hint of green shimmer. Really fresh looking and stunning shade. All of the polishes from this collection are so gorgeous I’m having a hard time picking up a favorite one.
Pure Energy is also quite thin in the bottle and applies well. In this mani I only used 2 coats of color polish and no base or top coat. This dried pretty quickly even without top coat.
My Color Club Electro Candy collection swatches continue with Tangerine Scream. Bright orange shimmer polish cheers you up right away. This shade reminds me of summer and orange popsicles ;) This one is really delicious IRL. Most likely I’m gonna use this one so much during the summer that I might have to buy a backup bottle.
Tangerine Scream applies as smoothly as all the polishes from this collection. Again two coats is enough for shorter nails, longer nails might need a third one.
In this mani I used: Tangerine Scream x3 and no top coat.
Do I even need to write anything about this!?
Electro Candy collection’s neon-green What a Shock! is a must have for all the green nail polish lovers. Bright green with green shimmer. Blindingly stunning and unique shade! These nails will not go unnoticed.
What a Shock! applies very well and 2 – 3 coats is enough. In this mani I used only 3 coats of What a Shock! without top coat.
Again my skin tone looks really weird cos of the cam settings and Photoshopping. This was hard one to photograph but the polish shade looks quite accurate to real life in this pic.
Here’s the next treat from the new Color Club collection. This one has been named after the collection and it’s the shockingly pink Electro Candy. This is a neon pink, very bright shade with pale blue shimmer. This is about as pink as a nail polish can get!
Electro Candy is little thicker and more opaque than Volt Of Light. This also applied smooth as butter and for shorter nails two coats will be enough. If you have longer nails you might want to add a third coat.
In this mani I used: Electro Candy x3 and Seche Vite fast drying topcoat.
My skin tone looks really weird in the pic. I had to adjust the camera settings and then PhotoShop it a bit to get the bright pink shade to show on the photo. The pic still doesn’t do the shade any justice and IRL it’s much more candy pink. I do need to re-photograph this again when the sun comes out long enough.
*EDIT I added another picture. On the second pic the polish looks a little closer to what it looks like IRL.
My beloved readers, here’s the first taste from the super-delicious Color Club Electro Candy collection. Volt Of Light is a neon yellow polish with green shimmer and flash. First thing that comes to mind when I look at this shade is a highlighter pen :D This is insanely fun shade and great thing is that it’s not tacky at all.
Volt Of Light is very thin in the bottle and applies very well. It’s quite sheer but it’s nice and smooth starting from the first coat. So you can only apply one coat for a hint of color or keep layering it to get a more neon result. Three coats is enough for “in your face” effect but you might need four coats for an fully opaque result. Seche Vite dried three coats pretty fast.
In this mani I used Volt Of Light x3 and Seche Vite on top. IRL this shade is even a bit brighter than it is in this pic.
And no, my nails didn’t experience an overnight miracle. I got tired of constant peeling and breaking and got acrylic nails. That’s also why there’s no base coat on my nails in this mani. We’ll see how long I’ll feel like keeping the acrylic nails on and decide to grow them out. But for now I feel more comfortable with these longer nails than the short ones.
