Color Club – Miss Bliss

Friday, August 16th, 2013

I found some old photos of this polish that I hadn’t posted yet, so here it is today for Kerstin’s Holo Friday. Color Club Miss Bliss is the pink shade from the Halo Hues collection that came out this year. The color isn’t very special or original at all, but the pretty rainbows makes it well worth having. I don’t remember how many coats I applied but I would guess three. I really like the formula on these polishes, there are no bald spots whatsoever!

Here it is in the sun:

It’s a little deeper in the tone than Halo-Graphic from the 2012 Halo Hues collection, so if you don’t have any of those I would recommend this one.

On Monday I’ll be back at work, and I sure will miss being free all day long. Ah well, nothing lasts forever.. Except my love for holographic polishes =D

Color Club – Tangerine Scream

Sunday, August 11th, 2013

How about an old goodie today? This is Color Club Tangerine Scream from the Electro Candy collection, which I think was released back in 2009. It was one of the first Color Club polishes I bought a few years ago, and I hadn’t tried it until now!  This is an orange neon with shimmer that looks a bit green in the bottle. When you wear it it mostly looks like silver shimmer but in some lights you can see the green shift. I really like how the shimmer softens the orange color, I feel that it makes it more wearable if you don’t want the neon to be too much in your face.

I was afraid this would be very sheer on its own, so I started off with Seche Ridge Filling Base Coat, and then applied three coats of Tangerine Scream. But I think it covered pretty well actually, there wasn’t  much of a VNL. As it’s a neon it dries a little matte, but I liked the effect so I skipped the top coat. Of course I bumped into something with my nails so I got a little dent, but it wasn’t that bad.

Let me tell you, it was not easy to get the color right on the photos. Here’s a shot in the sun:

Why do I wait so long to use gorgeous polishes like this?

Color Club – Over The Moon

Friday, April 5th, 2013

My plan was to show you another polish from China Glaze, but I had a draft with this polish so that’s what you’ll get today. I hope you’re not bored to death with Color Club holos yet, I still have a few to try out! Over The Moon is a gorgeous sky blue shade. I applied two coats without any top coat. Here’s a couple of shots in the sun:

I also took a photo in the shade to show how beautiful it is even without the super rainbows:

This is definitely one my faves from the 2013 Halo Hues!

Color Club – Angel Kiss

Friday, March 22nd, 2013

Yay it’s time for Skimmerskuggan’s Holo Friday again! Today I’m showing you my favorite from the Color Club Halo Hues 2012 collection, the light green Angel Kiss. I applied three coats and didn’t use a top coat. I totally fell in love with this and wore it for a whole week. When I wore it I found it more turquoise than the sea foam green that I excepted, but it was gorgeous nonetheless.

I also took a photo after six days, as I was quite impressed with how little tip wear I had without top coat:

Not that I do much work with my hands, being a lazy geek, but still… =)

Color Club – Cloud Nine

Friday, March 1st, 2013

I thought I was back in business again with my blog, but it’s been a bit too quiet lately (again!). I really suck at keeping it up! And I still haven’t posted my faves from last year.. At least I try to hang on to Skimmerskuggan’s Holo Fridays, there’s nothing better than ending the work week with some good holo =)

This is the light purple Cloud Nine from last years Halo Hues collection from Color Club. The sun was making a short appearance so I hurried to capture this one. I love the formula on these polishes, they’re easy to work with and dry pretty quickly. This was two coats and no top coat. If I’d been wearing it for more than a day I’d probably go for a third coat.

The last photo is taken with the sun behind some clouds. I think you can tell that it’s a pale light purple, but it’s really similar to the pink Halo-graphic from the same collection. I guess it would be enough to own one of them, but I just had to have them all.. =)

Color Club – Kismet

Friday, February 15th, 2013

Yay, it’s Holo Friday! I haven’t even tried all the Halo Hues from 2012 before I’m all over the new ones. Today I have the light (lime?) green Kismet from Color Club’s Halo Hues collection from this year, which I’m sure you’ve all seen already. I had no light for these photos either, so these are taken with flash. I applied three coats and there where no problems at all with the application.

It’s a beautiful shade that I think will be fun for Spring and Summer.

Have you bought any of the new Halo Hues polishes? I will soon have all of them, I just couldn’t resist them!

Color Club – Cherubic

Friday, January 25th, 2013

Finally I have a new manicure to show you, and as you can tell my nails are quite shorter now. I think it’s nice for a change, I haven’t had this short nails for a couple of years so I’ve forgotten what it was like =) This Holo Friday I have Color Club Cherubic to show you from the Halo Hues collection, it’s a neutral beige with a superb holographic effect. This is two coats, with longer nails I probably would have done three as usual.

Please excuse the the stuff on my ring finger nail, I had just violated them with my nail file…

I love this polish, it’s perfect when you don’t really know what color to wear, but want some holographic goodness.

Color Club – Metamorphosis

Thursday, October 4th, 2012

I was only supposed to be missing in action for the weekend, but that turned into two weeks apparently. I have loads of work right now so I’ve fallen behind on the blogging at the moment. I’ll probably be behind on comments for yet another week, sorry!

At least I found some photos that I have already edited of Color Club Metamorphosis. It’s the only polish I have so far from the Take Wing collection, and it’s a beautiful teal shimmer with a tiny purple shift. When I had worn IsaDora Opposites Attract for a few days I decided to layer Metamorphosis on top. I think I only did one or two cats so that the magnetic pattern would still be noticeable.

And this is the result:

You can see a subtle green pattern shining through here.

In this angle some of the purple shift shows up.

I really liked this, the purple was more visible than I thought it would be, even if its far from being duochrome.

Color Club – Electro Candy

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

I bought four of the polishes from the Electro Candy collection over a year ago, but for some reason I hadn’t tried any of them out yet. I figured they were a bit sheer, so under two coats of the pink Electro Candy I have two thin coats of the nude colored Pandora from Zoya. I didn’t get any good photos of Pandora on its own so that’ll have to wait until another time. Both of the polishes dried pretty fast.

Electro Candy is a gorgeous shimmery neon pink with a flash of light blue/turquoise shimmer. There was no sun that day so the photos look a bit dull:

The shimmer looks mostly silver here, but you can see the blue flash in the bottle.

The last photo is taken inside with flash:

This is such a gorgeous polish, why did I wait so long to try it?

Edit 24 August: Seems I got the date wrong when I published this post, it should have been the 22nd and not 8th, so it got buried with older posts.

My Latest Polish Haul

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

I know it’s already near the end of Summer now (at least in Sweden), but it’s not too late for neons just yet!

A while ago I placed an order at Transdesign, and they showed up the day before I went on a little trip. When I saw these babies I got a total neon overload,  and my fiance probably thought I was going crazy when I started talking to the polishes and caressing them.. =)

I ordered six polishes from China Glaze’s Summer Neons collection:

L-R: Flirty Tankini, Surfin’ For Boys, Orange You Hot?, Beach Cruise-r, I’m With The Lifeguard, Sun-kissed

I also ordered three more polishes from different collections:

L-R: Color Club Metamorphosis (Take Wing collection), China Glaze Man Hunt (On Safari), Wicked Style (Electropop)

These polishes are all gorgeous, but the one I totally fell for was Surfin’ For Boys, I love the glowing coral shade!
