Spring Can't Come Soon Enough

I've never made it any secret that cold weather and I don't mix, and as of late it's been really, super cold.  So my idea is, been there, done that, bring on Spring!  Yeah, I know that won't happen.  Anyway, since my fingers are constantly freezing I thought I'd paint them a lovely shade of blue so it looks like they're supposed to be that color. 

 Color Club Cold Metal seemed to fit bill.  It's a gorgeous deep, icy blue which to me personally seems to be more shimmery than foil-y. 

 The application on this was amazing, I've got two coats on here and there was no streaking or dragging like I encountered with Perfect Mol-ten. It wasn't terribly shiny on it's own so I added a coat of Seche Vite and not only did it make it drool worthy in terms of shine, but it seemed to make the color even richer. 

pardon my thumbnail, I over did my gel trying to keep a break from happening.

When the Foiled collection came out it didn't seem that outstanding and I got a couple of them more to say I did then anything, but I'm really happy that I picked up this polish, it's really pretty and perfect for a winter mani.  And I've got some artistic plans for it coming up, so stay tuned.  Thanks for stopping by and reading, until next time, take care!

One Brand, Two Names, One Color.

How often have you run into a brand that puts out the same color twice in the same year but under a different name?   Kiss Me Mistletoe is from the Color Club Scent-suous Holiday Collection and is exclusive to Sally Beauty.  They also have the Foiled line that has Perfect Mol-Ten.  The only difference is that Kiss Me Mistletoe makes your nails smell like a Christmas tree for about 12 hours. 

 I used Kiss Me Mistletoe on my pinky, middle finger and thumb, Perfectly molten on my ring and index finger.  There is absolutely no difference in the color either in the bottle or on the nail. 

 Neither one of these polishes wore well either, this is after one day which, where I work, is notoriously hard on nail polish, but still this wear is a bit extreme by my standards.

 The polish is pretty, but nothing spectacular, I'm almost disappointed to have spent the money on the two of them.  I didn't care for the application as it was streaky on both of them.  I do like the smell of Kiss Me Mistletoe, it really is reminiscent of Christmas Trees, (or mistletoe, I just don't know what mistletoe smells like).  The scent is short lived though, only lasting for about 12 hours at most.

In the realm of take it or leave it, I would leave both of these "colors"  behind.  I think that Color Club should have changed one of them at least a bit color wise before putting it out there as a new color.  Sorry, but in my opinion, adding a  scent doesn't count.  Overall you may color me unimpressed. 

All That Glitters

Just a quick post today as it's going to be a long and busy one. 

I recently picked up a couple of Color Clubs Foiled collection.  This one is Cold Metal. It's a intensely saturated silver based blue foil that is just gorgeous.  I had a little issue with the color dragging a bit so some of the nails needed three coats to get full coverage, but it was well worth it.

I topped off my ring finger with some LA Girls Glitter Addict Celebrate, a multi sized, shaped and colored glitter polish with great coverage (this was only one coat.) I topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite, for smoothness and shine.

Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time, take care!
