Color Club Holiday Splendor

Hello!

A few days ago I showed you Zoya Holly and I told you it was good for layering. Of course I tried that out. I used Holiday Splendor from Color Club. I think it could be opaque on its own too when you use 3 coats. But layered it´s easier to remove, so I decided to do that.

This is 1 coat of Holiday Splendor over 2 coats of Holly.

daylight, no sun

artificial light

There´s much more holo glitter in this polish than you can actually see in the pictures. I actually had a few pics where you saw all the holo, but my phone totally freaked out with those shots.

I think this is a pretty amazing polish. I would like to see it side by side with China Glaze Atlantis someday. So I hope I´ll have time to do a comparison anytime soon.

Have a nice day!

Color Club Too Violet

Hi there!

Todays polish is one I´ve had for quite some time. Well, actually, I swapped/sold it (don´t remember which one) because I wasn´t all too sure if this would be a color for me. Which is strange since I love purple and I love holo glitter. This is sort of a light grape purple, which isn´t my favorite kind. But still, I regreted selling/swapping it a bit, so I decided to buy a new one, a small one this time. So now I can finally show it to you guys.

Too Violet is a pretty opaque glitter, only 2 coats needed. Application was also pretty good.

The color in the pictures is way too pink. It´s much more purple in real life. Why oh why do I have trouble catching the right color lately?

Thank you for watching!

Orly Cashmere Cardigan + Color Club Jingle Jangle

Hi ladies!

I did this mani a while ago and I totally forgot about it. Why? I mean, it really is an awesome combo!

The base is Orly Cashmere Cardigan. One of the few cremes that I actually love. I used 1 coat and that was enough, except in sunlight... So if I´ll ever use this combo again I should definitely use 2 coats.
On top I used 1 coat of Color Club Jingle Jangle, which is a lilac, blue, teal and silver glitter. Very nice!

You see, there are some bold spots in direct sunlight unfortunately. Well, I do still love the combo. What do you think?

Enjoy your day!

Color Club Nouveau Vintage

Hello!

Finally the last one from the Color Club fall collection. And if I may say so, the best one. It´s a sort of olive/burnt gold with bronze and green shimmer. Pretty cool! Well, in sunlight that is. In normal light it just looks like an olive green. Not really special. So if you decide to wear this, make sure it´s a sunny day.

Nice right? I think it´s a great fall shade!

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Club Rebel Spirit

Good day!

Todays polish... what can I say. I feel exactly like I felt with Voodoo You Do. Don´t love, don´t hate, but it´s just not special.
Rebel Spirit is a dark brown creme, which covers very well with 2 coats. Not much to say about it. Maybe you love it, maybe you share my opinion or maybe you just totally hate it.

This is almost it for the Back To Boho Collection. Only Nouveau Vintage is left. I know, one is missing, Boho Mojo. But after the first coat, I decided no one was really waiting to see this color on screen. Yuk, it´s ugly! Strange color, horrible finish, brrr. So I´m not showing you that.

Thanks for watching!

Color Club Voodoo You Do

Hello!

Just a few more Back To Boho´s to go :P Hang in there!
For today I chose Voodoo You Do. A difficult color to the describe. Blue/green/grey-ish metallic, or something? Application was good and I used 2 coats. I´m not really loving this color. Don´t know why, but it´s just not that special or something. Oh well, they can not all be winners, right? I do like the name though.

Here are my pics.

Do you like this one? And how would you describe this color?

Thanks for visiting me today!

Color Club Blue-topia and Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black

Hi guys!

Another Back To Boho polish. And it´s beautiful! And I actually got it opaque in one coat. How´s that possible with a dark blue jelly? Great! Application was really smooth.
Since I hadn´t tried Chunky Holo Black by Kleancolor yet, I thought it was about time! CHB is a very faded black base with duochrome glitter in different sizes. Unique in my stash!

And here are some pictures of Blue-topia on its own.

I changed something on the last pic so you can see it´s not totally opaque. The problem is when you do use a second coat, it gets so dark, it´s almost black and I didn´t want that.
Thank you for stopping by!

Color Club Artsy Crafty and Golden Rose 13

Hi ladies!

For today I´m showing you a polish from the Back To Boho fall collection from Color Club. I got this set at Ross. Unfortunately they didn´t have the glitter holiday sets at the Ross I visited. They did have the Foiled collection, but I decided not to buy that.

Artsy Crafty is a dark green creme. We all know I´m not that into cremes, but this one applied nice and I love a good dark green. I used to coats for opacity. Then I applied 1 coat of Golden Rose 13. Nice combo!

Application was very good and the brush on Color Club are very nice. I didn´t even need any clean up.

And here are some pics of Artsy Crafty on its own.

Which one is your favorite from the Back To Boho collection? I think Nouveau Vintage is mine, but I haven´t tried it yet.

Thanks for watching!

Holiday shopping, BIG TIME!

Hi ladies!

I´ve been home now for a few days and what an amazing holiday it was! I loved Miami, I loved the Bahamas and I loved the cruise ship. And of course I did "some" shopping. I´ve read about all these stores in the US that lots of you ladies visit frequently. For me it was awesome! Walking right into Ulta while up till then I had only read about it. And Walgreens, Forever21, CVS, Ross, Icing, Del Sol and more. Just seeing all these great brands that I love displayed right in front of me. Some stores I haven´t found unfortunately (like Sally´s, Target, Walmart, Rite Aid) but I did some big time hauling. I tried only picking the ones that I had on my wishlist but I failed miserably. Bought a total of 31 polishes and 2 of the newest Konad plates, ooooppsss!

So here we go, this is what I got.

 Butter London No More Waity Kaitie + remover

 Color Club Back To Boho set (yes, the cheap 8 dollar sets are really sold at Ross)

Boho Mojo, Nouveau Vintage, Voodoo You Do, Artsy Crafty, Blue-topia, Rebel Spirit

Icing: Chrome Navy Blue, Irish Gold, Epic Winning, Vampire Blood, Witches Brew, Starlight

Orly Fowl Play, Orly Nite Owl, Orly Out Of This World, Zoya Neeka, Zoya Yara, OPI It´s My Year, OPI ds Top Coat

Sinful Colors Let Me Go, Wet ´n Wild Back Alley Deals, Wet ´n Wild Teal Of Fortune, Piggy Polish The Right To Bare Feet, Milani Blue Lightening

Nicole Me + Blue, Sally Hansen Icequeen, L`oreal Owl´s Night, Confetti Ice Ice Baby, Love & Beauty Shimmering Grey

M84 and M85

Besides all these brands I´ve seen many more and mostly at places I didn´t expect them. 

The Piggy Polish is unlabled, so I´m not sure it´s the right name... I actually found another one that looks a lot like it.

So what do you think ladies? Ready to see swatches? I´ve already used No More Waity Kaitie while I was on holiday. And OMG, the worst application ever!! Did I get a bad bottle or did you guys experience it too? I can´t even describe all the problems I had. I really hope some thinner would do the trick. I haven´t even made pictures of it.

I also used Blue Lightening, which I think is pretty close to OPI ds Magic. Will make a comparison some day. I did take pictures of this, so you´ll see that one soon.

Thanks for visiting!

What collections are you looking forward to the most?? Here are some of mine

Goodmorning ladies!

Today I decided to show you what collections I´m looking forward to the most. And of course I´m really curious what you are all looking forward to.

Here´s my list:

Orly Holiday Soiree

Orly Mineral FX

OPI new Designer Series

OPI Holiday Muppets

Color Club Backstage Pass

Color Club Beyond The Mistletoe

Essie Luxeffects

China Glaze Let It Snow

Well, that´s a whole lot of glitters :-) I´m not sure yet which ones are the lucky polishes that get a new home in my Helmer, but I´m sure it´s going to be quite a lot.

Unfortunately it seems Orly has made quite some dupes... Here´s a list of what I THINK might be dupes:

Orly Fowl Play (Birds of a Feather collection) = OPI Merry Midnight
Orly Rococo A-Go-Go (Mineral FX collection) = Zoya Valerie
Orly Igenue (Holiday Soiree collection) = Orly Rock The World (Mineral FX collection) = Zoya Faye = OPI Rally Pretty Pink
Orly Oui (Holiday Soiree collection) = OPI It´s My Year

So what´s your favorite collection that´s coming up?

Thanks for watching!

Color Club Magic Attraction

Hello!!
Today I'm showing you one of my favorite glitter bombs. It is sooo sparkly with all the light silver and holo glitter. But it's difficult to catch.on camera, that's why I included a blurry picture in this post too.
I used 3 coats, not completely opaque, but not necessary with this color. You could also use this as a layering polish.
Thanks for reading my post today!

Color Club Puccilicious and Happy Birthday

Hi ladies!

A festive mani today because it was my birthday last weekend, although I didn't wear this as my birthday mani, hahaha.

Color Club Puccilicious is a purple neon polish which dries matte. I love this color and no problems with application at all and opaque in 2 coats. Then I applied 2 layers of Lippmann Happy Birthday. Awesome combo. Really like the glitter fest that's going on on my nails!!

One last thing. I updated my blogsale page, so take a look if you are interested.

Enjoy your day!

Golden Rose flakies 02

Hi ladies!

You have probably all heard before of the Golden Rose flakies. Well, you've probably also heard that when applied over black there are only 2 colors, red/yellow/orange/green (like SH Hidden Treasure) and blue/green (like Nfu Oh 39). But that's not completely true. I have another Golden Rose flakie polish which only shifts orange/green/yellow, so not a standard one with red.
And the one I'm showing you today is totally amazing!! It shifts yellow, orange, red, pink, green, purple and blue. OMG this is the queen of all flakies! So stunning! A true must have for any flakies lover.

I applied 1 coat of flakies over 1 coat of a black Color Club without label.

Enjoy the pics and thanks for watching!

Comparison Color Club Magic Attraction and Hocus Pocus

Hello ladies!

Ever since I saw Hocus Pocus by Color Club I really needed to have it, because I thought it was even prettier than Magic Attraction which I already owned and loved. Someone on a forum also told me it was different. Well, I now own both and either I'm blind or it really is the same color.
I don't even remember on which finger I used either one of them.

I do still love both though! Hocus Pocus could be nice to bring on holiday because it's a baby bottle, so I'll keep both.

In these pics I used 2 coats. These two could never become opaque, but I still love the look of it. Drying time was amazingly fast by the way. I love that too.

Thanks for stopping by!
