Color Club Shabby Drab

I loved Uptown Girl so much I decided to chose another polish from Color Club. So out came Shabby Drab from the Back To Boho collection :) Shabby Drab is a dusty dark periwinkle blue that is simply stunning!

I used a case coat of Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener (I'm determined to get through this bottle) and then two coats of Shabby Drab. Application was perfect! Then I finished it off with Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat.

Let's let the photos speak for themselves :)

It has been crazy overcast and raining non-stop lately but a few days later I finally got these photos in the sunlight so please ignore the tip wear O_o

I'm loving these beautiful dusty colours! I knew I loved cremes but not I think my favourite is dusty cremes :) All I have to say is that this is just such a lovely colour!!

Color Club Uptown Girl

Today I have Color Club Uptown Girl from their Rebel Debutante collection. Uptown Girl is a stunning dusty mauve, purple creme. I'm so glad I finally got around to trying this!

I used a base coat of Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener. I followed with two thin coats of Uptown Girl. Thankfully, this polish actually got along with my base coat! Application was very smooth and easy. I finished it off with a top coat of Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat.

So here are the pretty pictures :)

Then these ones in natural light.

Just as gorgeous in the shade :)

The finish on this one is gorgeous! I'm a sucker for these dusty cremes :) This is one gorgeous colour and I think it actually suits my skin tone - although it kind of makes my hand look like one of those fake practise hands! A friend of mine thought I had fake nails on hehe:)

Color Club Fashion Addict (Pic Heavy)

I was in the mood for a cheerful nail polish and what better choice than a holographic! So with that in mind I chose Color Club Fashion Addict from the Catwalk Queen collection. Fashion Addict is a gorgeous lavender holographic!

I used a coat of OPI Nail Hardener for my base coat and then applied two coats of Fashion Addict. It was opaque in one coat but I wanted a second coat to add 'depth' to the colour. Application was a breeze meaning almost no clean up. I knew I would wear this manicure for a long time single I love holographic polishes so much so I added a coat of Seche Vite. The Seche Vite changed the colour slightly, making Fashion Addict a few shades darker and I definitely noticed a diminished holographic effect. Before I added the top coat it had the usual linear holographic effect but all a scatter effect on either side of the linear effect. However once I added the top coat there was only the linear holographic effect. Normally I wouldn't have noticed the difference but my Mum saw my nails and wanted to try the same colour and then later we were comparing and that's when I saw the differences.

Any who, these photo's were taken in artificial light but it was really hard to capture the holographic effect accurately in this light.

The following day I took photos in the sunlight. There's lots of photos to make up for the crappy ones in artificial light.

I like these two photos because the first one shows the holographic effect the moment the top half of my index and middle fingers. Then the second photo was taken in with very little sunlight.

*DROOL*!! I love holographic! I love purple! I love Fashion Addict! I know that some people have said they have a version of Fashion Addict that has almost no holographic effect but mine seems to be quite strong - ignoring the artificial light photos because the holographic effect was still very strong in that light too. There's nothing more to say I love everything about this nail polish!

Color Club Revvvolution (PIC HEAVY!)

Ever since I saw swatches of Color Club Revvvolution from the Femme Fatale collection I knew I just had to have it! One word: HOLOGRAPHIC! Ever since it arrived I have been dying to wear it and I finally got the chance. So on it went!

To begin with I applied Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat. Then I used one coat of Color Club Revvvolution which applied beautifully. The formula of Revvvolution made it very easy to control and it was opaque in one coat. I added a coat of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. Adding a top coat slightly diminished the holographic effect of the nail polish but it wasn't significant enough to worry me.

Once finished I took these photo's in artificial light.

I love how this photo shows the purple, red, orange, yellow, green and blue holographic effect!

The following day I took more photo's in the sunshine.

Ooh look at the gorgeous holographic effect in the bottle!

To compare the effect of a top coat the following photo's were taken in artificial light without a top coat.

OMG I think I've died and gone to heaven! I am obsessed with holographics, they have got to be my favourite kind of nail polish, and Revvvolution is a perfect example of why I love them so much. REVVVOLUTION! I love the name it seems to perfectly match a black holographic.I love the Color Club brush and the quality of the formula has so far been consistent on those I've tried. Basically I love everything about this nail polish! Oh and in case you're interested Revvvolution can be used for Konad Stamping, it shows up really well. So what do you think does the top coat make much of a difference?
