My Nail Polish Collection - Color Club

Hey my loves and welcome to the first proper post in My Nail Polish Collection series. In this super long series I am going to be showing you all the nail polishes in my collection through pics and paper swatches as well as including link where appropriate to nails of the day posts. As I said in a previous post this has been requested in video format but this is probably the easiest way to do it x
I've decided to start off with quite a new brand for me Color Club, I have to say I hadn't heard of the brand until late last year when it started popping up on You Tube channels and on blogs. I think it's a US brand and I've bought the 3 bottles I have from ebay for a pretty reasonable price. However I know a few people including the lovely Lillian have managed to pick up some Color Club polishes from TK Maxx so it's worth having a look there too x
The 3 colours I have are all pretty much in the same theme, sparkles, glitters and holographic, and I have to say I am super impressed with the colours, application and wearability of the polishes I have, so without further rambling here they are, Oh and don't forget if you click the names of the polishes it will link you to them on my little fingers in a nails of the day post

From left to right - 850 Worth The Risque, 852 Revvvolution, and 859 Fashion Addict

It's so hard to show you on here just how fabulous these colours actually are, the sparkle is amazing, Worth The Risque is an amazing silver holographic a worthy and easier to apply dupe of Gosh Holographic,  859 Fashion Addict is a beautiful lilac shade with lots of holographic sparkle, and as you can see 852 Revvvolution  is a gorgeous dark charcoal shade, again with lots of holographic sparkles

If you love sparkle these polishes are definitely worth a look, I really want to try out some more Color Club polishes so if you have any recommendations please let me know x

Nails Of The Day - Sparkles Make The World Go Round

Well it's time for another nails of the day and it's no surprise which one it is. When I bought this colour I said I couldn't wait to put it on my nails, but some how I managed to hold off I was feeling a bit bored so I painted my nails for about the zillionth time this week with this beauty

Of course it's Color Club 849 Fashion Addict, this is a gorgeous holographic pale lilac shade love it, I only wish you could get paint this colour :) If you could I would definitely paint my room this colour - apologies in advance for the slightly bad finish and cuticles I painted it in a bit of a rush

Pretty isn't it I am absolutely loving glitters and sparkles at the moment, let me know what you think?

Collective Hauling :)

Hey my loves time for a haul post that I did pay for myself. As well as the Stacey maxi dress I have bought a few bits myself over the last few weeks whilst at the same time trying to be strong and stick to my limit. The throat come chest infection has meant a period of being stuck in the house so unsurprisingly some of the purchases have been online.
First up a nail polish and a beautiful one at that, I typed holographic nail polish into the search field on eBay and up came this beauty, Color Club 859 Fashion Addict

You can't really see the holo or the glitter too much but it looked amazing in the sellers pics on the nails and I can't wait to try it on mine :)

Another ebay purchase in the last few weeks was this - not one of the most interesting  purchases I've ever mind but something that is a bit of an essential if your going on holiday- after sun!

My mum has taken care of the SPF so I thought I'd treat us to a new after sun, this one the Ultrasun After Sun really applied because not only is it an after sun it's also a tan accelerator, better still I got it for well below retail on ebay :)

It's generally accepted that blogs are great enablers, we read a post and find ourselves adding a load of items to our wishlist, well that happened again last week, when the lovely Fee from Make Up Savvy did a post on discontinued products. She had managed to purchased something I wanted quite a while ago - the NYC Chroma Face Glow in Moonstone

I wanted this for the longest time, like the famous NYC Blush Sticks it was never released in the UK and the ebay prices at the time of release were just ridiculous, but I checked on Amazon and found that the Amazon store is the same as a discount cosmetics website I had used before The Cosmetics House. Admittedly they are also in Co Durham but I got my parcel in less than 18 hours - impressive. These remind me a lot of MAC MSF's, it looks a bit like a paler Petticoat in the pan, but its a lot paler and a gorgeous sheeny pink -gorgeous

Finally today I managed a little look out, my mum wanted to go to Lidl so we popped to Consett, and you know that that means Superdrug! I originally went to get some more MUA things for the post I'm finalising but to be honest the MUA stand looked like a bomb had it hit it, nothing left and what was left had been opened, so I had a look at the 2True stand instead, to say it was better would be a major over statement, not one eyeshadow on the entire stand hadn't be opened or wasn't broken, horrendous! Thankfully the rest of the items looked OK, so I picked up 3 items for just £4.99 to go towards my Budget Beauty Series. First up a mascara the Instant Waterproof Mascara in 1 Black

Having previously tried and really liked a 2True mascara before I thought it would be good to try out another one for my post on 2True, I have to say I didn't really need another mascara especially since I received the Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet Mascara in this months GlossyBox :) but mascara really seems to be one of my weaknesses

I also picked up one the Crystal Lipglosses in 1 - a lovely shimmery pink, I mean I really needed another lipgloss didn't I ;)

and I also picked up one of the Fast Dry Colour Quick Nail Polishes in Shade 2

I have already tried the other nail polishes that 2True do but I hadn't tried these ones, and I have to say I love the pale blue colour, and yes that it is another nail polish that you can see, one of the new Maybelline MNY polishes - I can't find a shade name but I think it's number 659, a gorgeous blue, but what's with all these companies giving their products numbers rather than names, it doesn't half make a bloggers life harder.

Finally from Superdrug I got these cute purple metal, rose earrings, for just 99p, I couldn't get a pic on the card so you've got an ear shot x 

.

Finally I popped into Boyes and bought a few things including some undies, no I'm not going to show you those, what sort of blog do you think this is lol but I did buy the L'Oreal Elvive Re-Nutrition Nourishing Cream Shampoo, I'm running low on my Clynol and shock of horrors I can't find any shampoo in the bathroom cupboard - this is really unusual for us my mum thinks she has some Ojon shampoo "somewhere" so I thought I'd buy a cheaper shampoo just in case. I have to say I actually really like the L'Oreal Elvive range especially the ones with Royal Jelly in they smell nice and they are really moisturising.

So there you go a few successful purchases and I've just sneaked over my monthly limit still I'm happy to be just about back on my feet now the antibiotics are a total pain but at least I'm starting to feel better x Thanks for all the sweet messages you guys are the best xx

Nails Of The Day - Strange Photos and Sparkles

Hey my loves it's time to show you another gorgeous colour from my extensive nail polish collection, and after lots of positive feedback it another sparkly one. I bought this colour from US ebay, a little while ago (you can see the haul post here ) and I have to say it's love

Color Club 850 Worth The Risque is probably as close as you can get to the famous GOSH Holographic, it's a gorgeous silver, with multi coloured holographic flashes - love it even on my shorter nails after multiple snappages at the weekend :)

This is two coats and I have to say I find it much easier to apply than the GOSH one, it lasts pretty well too x
Whilst I was taking these pics of my nails, this strange pic turned up on my memory card I'm sure I didn't take it either!

Weird or what? have you ever found anything strange on your memory card? and what do you think of this polish?

US Nail Polish Haul and a GOSH Holographic Dupe ?

Greetings my loves
You know the drill - I've already mentioned that I was waiting for a few parcels to come from US ebay that I ordered last month well they've all came through now - hurray :)
The contents of every parcel was nail polish :) - First up something I first saw on Nicole's blog - Although I have GOSH Holographic which I love, it has been discontinued now and I know some people are looking for dupes so I thought I'd give this one a go. The polish is Color Club - 850 Worth The Risque

a silver holographic polish it certainly looks the part in the bottle but how does it perform?

Well pretty well, I certainly had no application issues with this at all it applied really smoothly and 2 coats was enough for full coverage - is it the same as GOSH Holographic ? well I don't think it's quite as sparkly but if you can't manage to get your hands on the GOSH without shelling out major funds this is a good option, I paid just £4.58 for the polish and it's safe passage from New York to my home in the UK x

 

Next up another sparkly, shimmery number. I recently watched Fleur De Force's May Favourites Video and in the video she mentioned a nail polish Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Turquoise Opal, it was love at first sight! so I headed to ebay to have a looksie alas $24 appeared to be the going rate for this beauty so I got one of the cheaper but still beautiful options 08 Amber Ruby

It's a gorgeous bronze / copper colour with shades of yellow, green and red flashing through it.You can't see the flashes to well but you can see how it changes in the light - Before Without Flash

After With Flash

Gorgeous - and yet another product we can't get in the UK :( 

Finally two polishes from a US brand that I really do love Milani - If you've read my blog for while you'll know that I am a real fan of the Milani Holographic polishes so I had a little look on ebay and I thought I'd try a couple of their other polishes from my wishlist - first up a colour from their Bare range  821 Bare in Mind

The colour of this isn't really anything special it's just a good wearable pink / nude with a tiny bit of shimmer shot through. I love colours like these they are really good for everyday wear.

Next up I got a shade from their Nail Flash range - 847 Photo Flash

This is gorgeous a great pink /red with all sorts of shimmer and glitter shot through which alas my camera isn't doing justice :(

2 coats of each swatched on white paper

I hope you have found this little haul useful - there really are some gorgeous colours and polishes in US Drugstore brands that we simply can't get over here - booo - I am going to try and do a few NOTD of all my new polishes so you can have a better look x Any questions please let me know x

Don't You Just Love Coming Home To Packages :)

Well don't you ? A huge thank you must go out to my Godparents who kept an eye on the post for us whilst we were on holiday, so thanks to them as well as my boxes from MAC I also got several other fabbity fab packages. Firstly ebay, I've discovered my nail polish mojo big style over the last few months so many amazing new colours and finishes have came onto the market and I've just been super weak first of all I got a few polishes from the new OPI Swiss Collection, first of all I got The Colour To Watch -a lovely shimmery purple / mauve

and I also got Yodel Me On My Cell - an amazing shimmering teal blue colour - I really love colours like this

After watching a recent Lollipop26 nail polish haul I also got my first Color Club polish 852 Revvvolution -  a gorgeous shimmery charcoal, silver grey

Swatches in order 2 coats on white paper x

OK I was a bad, bad girl but if you read my posts on the brilliant Orly Space Cadet you'll know that I fell majorly in love with Orly Cosmic collection so I couldn't resist buying another couple of colours from the collection - first of all I got Halleys Comet a gorgeous multi toned teal, turquoise, green

and Lunar Eclipse - an amazing blue, and purple multi coloured sparkle

Swatches, again 2 coats on white paper L-R - Halleys Comet and Lunar Eclipse x

I also had a little parcel from Sleek waiting for me, I saw a couple of preview pictures of these two items from some lucky bloggers who got the chance to try them and I knew I had to have them. First up the powder blush in Rose Gold 926 - a gorgeous golden peach very like Nars Orgasm

I have to say I have lots of blushers in this colour family but this one is sooo pretty I just couldn't resist

Next up I got a Pout Polish in 942 Powder Pink

 I've had one of these before in a different colour but I just didn't suit me so I passed it on, this tho is very me a gorgeous pink colour

So they we are the goodies that arrived whilst I way bar one parcel that deserves a post in it's own right, that will be right up after a few NOTD's from my holidays. Again if you would like any reviews or if you have any questions please let me know xx
