Color Club 'Candy Cane'

Happy Valentines Day!!  This is my Valentines Mani post.  No nail art.  I'm not a nail art kinda person if you haven't really picked up on that.  I wish I was, I actually found out this technique I might do more nail art....

Anyways, this is 'Candy Cane' from the Color Club Beyond the Mistletoe collection along with 'Holiday Splendor' and 'Sugar Plum Fairy' and three others I have yet to swatch. Actually it's 'Candy Cane' on top of Color Club 'Hot Like Lava'.  'Candy Cane' is a pink and lavender glitter with some holo glitter (see the blurry magic below).  This is 3 coats, but it's not totally opaque because in real life I could see 'Hot Like Lava' underneath.  But all in all i really like this nail polish it's a great glitter and I think on top of another color that's more pale this would be a lot less of a hot pink manicure, because if it wasn't for the base color it would be a light purple-pink.

OPI 'Swimsuit... Nailed It!' vs. Color Club 'Cold Metal'

So I swatched OPI 'Swimsuit...Nailed It' and Color Club 'Cold Metal' and they both seemed to be rather similar.  Well...  they ain't.  If you look above you see 'Cold  Metal' (CM) and 'Swimsuit...Nailed It!' (SNI).  Well they're both blue, they're both foils and they're both 2 coats.  Other than that, SNI is much more bright and only blue, where as CM is very silver-y and darker.   So, they are NOT at all dupes but I personally think SNI is so much prettier but you can decide for yourself.  Can't wait to see your comments below

Color Club Foiled Collection

I know a million bloggers have already swathed this collection but, I have it so I figured no harm done if I did too.  And all of these are 2 coats.  The first is the color I dislike the most to the color I like the most.

'Foil me once'  Ew.  This is just a not attractive color.  it's the most silver-y of all the nail polishes.  By that I meant that in the bottle you see these lines of silver and this one is the one that shows the silver the mostest.  But it's this pale pink purple color.  I't just not pretty.

This is 'Antiquated'.  One of the 3 that I don't like in this collection.  It's just not very flattering for my skin.  It's a champagne colored foil.  That's really all I have to say about this one.

  

'Perfect Mol-ten'.  Umm...  yeah don't really hate this color but don't like it.  It's again, very silvery, but other than the silver it's this sea foam green color

'Cold Metal'.  This is the one I was looking forward to the most, and all the swatches I've seen make it look just blue.  But it don't.  I mean I like it, but it's just not my favorite.  And considering that OPI 'Swimsuit... Nailed It' is one of my favorite nail polishes, this is 'Swimsuit...Nailed It''s awkward sister.

'Lumin-Icent' is a very pale icy-blue foil.  I really like this because it's not your basic silver but it's not crazily colored.  I don't know, I just like it.

'Hot Like Lava'.  This is my favorite because it's so not silver, and the color is so bright.  It's such a bright hot pink.  And in the sun it's so SHINY!

Overall, I 1/2 like this collection.  And out of the 3 I didn't like one of them didn't look good with my skin but probably would with people with darker skin.  And the other two just weren't pretty.  But even the unattractive colors had great formulas.  Only 2 coats for full coverage and none were to thick or thin.

OPI 'Swimsuit... Nailed It!'

OMG! How beautiful is this??  Of course the awkward nail polish on my ring finger skin ruins it.  But seriously!  LOOK AT THAT! That is intense.  It's the only foil I have other than two silver foils.  It only looks like that in the sun though, inside it looks more like the picture below.  This is 2 wonderous coats without a top coat.
