Color Club Winter Affair Duo: Gift of Sparkle and Anon Glitter Swatches and Review. Prizes of Jenni :3

Hi my sweethearts! Soooo, I have a really special post for you guys today! It's another giveaway prize from the lovely Jenni of I Relish Nail Polish. 2nd time! I'm one LUUUCKY girl :D I just wanna say thank you Jenni (:

So let me show you guys some swatches and then show the amazing packaging she used :3

In the below pictures, I have 2 coats of Gift of Sparkle and 1 coat of Glitter on my ring and thumb.

Gift of Sparkle is a very dense and thick glitter polish consisting of dark purple, red, and sparse holo glitter suspended in a slighting plum tinted base.

This is one coat of Gift of Sparkle.

 And this Anonymous glitter is anonymous because Color Club's duos always dont have names.... And I couldn't find this glitter listed anywhere in the Winter Affair collection, but oh well, I forgive Color Club because its GORGEOUS. Seriously, I can't even describe it, it's like little hexagonal iridescent glitter that flashes from orange/light pink to teal/blue. OMG LOVE.

I think the bottle would give a better idea of the effect. SOOO PRETTY.

All in all, I love this duo! Although Gift of Sparkle is a bit thick, I think it's worth it because the glitter is so dense. And that holo! You all know I love holos :3 Hehehe, and the Iridescent glitter's formula is very nice too, nice amount of glitter for each coat, no need to fish or anything like that. And a plus? THEY'RE SOOOO SPARKLY.

Direct sunlight! Blurred to show you how sparkley it is!!!

And now, let me amaze you with the adorable packaging! Along with bubblewrapping everything, she even wrapped the individual polishes with tissue! How considerate! Thanks Jenni :D

 AND OMG. ARE YOU READY:

Hand written note! :3333

Jenni, you're such a sweetheart! I'm so glad to have made a friend like you through blogging. Honestly, that's the best part of blogging: being able to know so many amazing people and build bonds. Thank you guys so much! c:
Love, Christine.

Color Club Magnetic Nail Polish: Sci-Fi Swatches and Review

Hi all! How are you guys doing? I feel great today because I finally got my long-anticipated presentation over with, and I feel like I can truly relax again! So today, I have my favorite magnetic polish to show you. Sci-Fi by Color Club is a olive-gold with flecks of gold glitter. So gorgeous!

One reason that Magnetic Polishes interest me is that they remind me of those 3-D boards! The ones you tilt up and down and they give you different images? That's what these resemble. 

Before hovering the magnet over my nails, this is what Sci-Fi looks like:

Sorry this picture is a bit blurry, my camera doesn't want to focus...

All in all, it's a great polish! Very nice coverage, full opacity in 1 coat, like most magnetic polishes. Very easy to apply, and gorgeous color! That's it for today, thank you guys for reading! :-*

Color Club Take Wing Collection: Daisy Does It, Sparkle and Soar

Hi my sweethearts! So today, as promised, I have two other nail polishes from the Take Wing collection, Daisy Does It, a warm golden yellow with iridescent yellow and green shimmer/ duochrome, and Sparkle and Soar, a yellowed orange with golden shimmer.

1 Thick Coat

2 Coats

 

Personally, I think 2 coats is fine, but if you REALLY don't like bare nail showing, then go for 3. Also, doing thick coats with these are soooo easy, they're not goopy or anything like that, so thicker coats are actually really nice (:



 

Oops. Do you see the green shimmer?

 Okay, now here's the part where things get interesting:

1 coat of Daisy Does It over a plain black cream.

Blurred to capture sparkle!!!

 OH MY GOSH. DO YOU SEE THAT. omg I got so excited after I layered it, I don't think I'm ever going to wear this by itself again hahaha because it's not that flattering on my skin tone. Over black, the green sparkles really show up and are definitely more prominent. GORGEOUS.


Now, Sparkle and Soar.

1 coat

2 Coats

Again, over black. Just the way I like them :D, index and ring are two coats of Sparkle and Soar

Doesnt the orangey yellow remind you of thanksgiving? :3

Gorgeous polishes. Layered over black. On their own, I'm not too much of a fan, because they don't flatter my skintone. The formula was really nice, REALLY nice, very thin and smooth. Overall, I'm glad I purchased these because they would be sooo amazing for layering!
Hehe, thanks for reading guys! See you next time (:

Color Club Take Wing: Sky High

Hi my sweethearts! Long time no see! School started, and it has kept me very busy... sigh...
But anyway, here I have a swatch of Sky High for you, from Color Club's Take Wing collection. It's a beautiful teal based blue that has gorgeous purple shimmer with almost a glassfleck finish. I also got two others from this collection and I'll swatch it next time :3
This polish was a PAIN to photograph! The purple and teal shimmers just don't wanna show up ): stupid camera... I blame you dslr!!!

I believe this is one thick coat. If you do a thin coat, it can be quite sheer, but one generous coat is fine.

One Coat

Can you see the purple? I tried really hard, but my camera just doesnt like purple I guess... But it is quite visible in real life.

Here's a better look at the teal base, it's really shiny under direct light! Glassflecks are always gorgeous under the sun to :3

Here's a better look at the purple duochrome-ish shimmer! It does show up quite nicely on the nail, along with some subtle teal/green shimmer too.

 Great color, but doesn't suit my skin tone. A bit too... blue. Hahaha, too bright, I could see this working for darker skintones or a cooler skintone! Still, doesn't change the fact that I love this color :3 Formula was great, dries faily quickly, and goes on super smoothly! If you want thin even coats, I would suggest 3, but 2 really is good enough.
Hehehe, that's it for today! Until next time :3

Embarrassing Gradient

Okay... I have to confess, this is my FIRST time EVER, to do gradient nails. And... I suck. Hahhaha, I had on the Cinderella polish from last time, and had some tip wear so I decided to cover it up! But the result isn't as good as I had hoped....

Gradient was with a nameless F21 purple glitter, ring finger was a glitter sandwich with Revlon Radiant, or Blue Mosaic, I think they recently changed the name, and pinky is Color Club Sky High topped with an Anna Sui Glitter.

Sorry about the chip on my ring finger near the cuticle hahah, a piece of glitter was stuck there and I just HAD to pick it off.

Well... It's a decent first try, I guess! Oh and I have to add, my camera does NOT capture the beauty of Sky High... I wish you can see the pretty duochrome of it! I'll do a more detailed review and swatch for you guys! <3
