This is actually the first time I've willingly purchased Color Club. My fellow nail polish girlfriends have sent me bottles of the stuff and in turn, I've forwarded them on to other people.
I made the decision to buy when I saw the swatches on Scrangie's blog...and I've got to say, I'm not impressed by the colors. Well, there are two that I like. There were 9 colors, but I only bought the 7 that enticed me the most...and if I could do it all over again, I'd probably only get 5.
Just a note - these pictures were taken with a mixture of sunlight and indoors. Normally I do my swatching during the day, but the sun set and I decided to finally try the light box set up hubby used for my jewelry. I used my same lil old camera and maybe it's time for me to graduate to the big kids stuff...but anyway, this is my first time using the light box so please don't be so harsh on me.
Who Are You Wearing?
Not one of my favorite colors. When I saw it in the bottle, I thought it could quite possibly be a dead ringer/sister/twin/dupe to my all time favorite OPI's Tickle My France-y. Nope. Not a chance. While I appreciated the efforts put forth by Color Club, this didn't do it for me.
Rebel Debutante
This is the name of the collection and I thought the signature color would be...well, kind of stand out. I was disappointed that it was a close to but not quite neon. I mean, it's green and it looks pretty, but it wasn't my cuppa.
Best Dressed
It's a little too much brown going on for me...I can do my best mannequin hands impersonation with this color!
High Society
A very pretty mellow mushroom taupe color! I love these kinds of colors.
Uptown Girl
You can't really see how pretty this color is - it's a beautiful, rich purple creme...and I totes blew it with my incompetent light box skills. Sorry.
Ms. Socialite
Yea, I messed up on the name on the pic. Oops. :) If I had been able to use the light box properly you would see this as a gorgeous purple plum. My bad.
Gossip Column
An epic fail on my part in trying to capture the prettiness of this color...it reminded me of a peacock kind of blue. Actually, I'll take it back, both of the swatches are very true to life despite my ineptness with a light box.
Loved a handful of colors and the formula for that green wasn't the best. For the most part all of them needed 3 coats but only Gossip Column and High Society were the ones that could get away with 2 coats.
For my first time with Color Club, I'm pretty happy.
