Color Club Revvvolution

Today's post is Color Club Revvvolution, a charcoal grey holographic polish. This one is totally, totally, love! The holo is amazing and the for the very odd lightening situation that the holo doesn't show up the base colour is still nice. I've included a good few photos to show the varying degrees of holo goodness, you see when wearing this. (I have no idea what is on the side of my pointer finger, either remnants of the last polish I was wearing or pen, that I didn't wash totally off  - I manage to come home from work with pen or whiteboard marker over my hands most day - and the lovely macro setting that makes polish look nice also picks up things that aren't visible to the naked eye, so apologies!) 






The pictures show two coats and the application was perfect. The wear on this was good too, I think I got about 5 days out of it. I have nothing bad to say about this one, but a little bit of a caveat. I bought this on Transdesign before Christmas, but I have also heard of a not so holo version going around, I'm pretty sure this is the good version. So buy online with caution. I believe Color Club were aware of the dud version and were looking into the problem.


Have you tried Revvvolution? Any other suggestions like it?

NOTD Color Club - Who Are You Wearing? with Crack(le)?

Just a quick post today, featuring yesterday’s Color Club ,Who Are You Wearing? with the Barry M Instant Effects polish. I thought the light colour would be interesting under the crackle polish.

It was a great way of hiding the failings of my application of this polish, as seen yesterday! I have no idea why my index finger didn't seem to crack as much as the rest, I might have used to thick a coat on that finger.

NOTD Color Club - Who Are You Wearing?

First up, sorry, I've been a little lax on my posting lately, I'm under huge stress at work and usually manage to get posts written up on a Sunday, but I had to work this Sunday, so I am a little bit behind, but trying to catch up! 


Today’s NOTD is Color Club Who Are You Wearing? This is a very pale cream, white with hints of purple and maybe a bit of grey.  The pictures show 5(!) coats, application wasn’t great on this. This was the second attempt I had applied 4 coats, the day before and I ended up messing up two of my nails, I think because there were so many coats, it didn’t dry properly.  On this second attempt, it ended up quite streaky, I’m going to try this one again, letting it dry between coats.  I love this colour, it’s not a stark white, the hints of grey and purple make it very wearable, so I’m hoping to nail the application issues. (Ooops just noticed the pun - it wasn't originally intended, but it fits!)  So here is the  not so fabulous picture.


Apologies hugely for the this picture, but it really was the best I could do! :( I had a look to see if it was just me having problems with the application, out of about 10 blogs, 1 person had issues like me and the other 9 were fine in 3 coats. I was in a hurry both times, so maybe I didn’t let the coats dry enough?
Both times I only wore it for a day so I can’t say much about wear.

Have you tried this one? Did you have the issues I had?

Transdesign haul

Last week, I received my order from Transdesign, I had ordered to get some the new OPI burlesques but had to throw in a few more, just to make the shipping worth it. (obviously!) So here's what I got.


This is one of the duo sets, which contains Teas-y does it  and Sparkle-icious, along with some shimmer powder. I also meant to Simmer and Shimmer but I got confuzzled and got two sparkle-icious by mistake!

I, also, got my first two Colour Clubs, Who are you Wearing and Revvvolution. Look at the lovely holo goodness in Revvvolution, I hope that comes out on the nail! 


Now, for some more firsts, I got my first Misa, Amour and New York Summer. From L-R, we have Misa Dirty Sexy Money, Amour Rain Glitter and New York Summer Amaranth.
So I'm extremely annoyed at myself for messing up the OPI part of the order, and it's not helped by the fact at first glance Sparkle-icous doesn't look all that different to Rain Glitter, looking closer they are different. 

Rain glitter on the left, doesn't seem to have the yellow glitter in in that Sparkle-icious has and it has more red than Sparkle-icious. You can click the picture to make it larger for a better look! 

I'll try and get pictures of these up as soon as possible, but if there's one you'd like to see first let me know!
