Hi Guys and Dolls. I’ve had these polishes for about a month, but I keep forgetting to show you my swatches! China Glaze’s fall collection is called Retro Diva ( play on last years Rodeo Diva?) and I also wanted to pick up one more of the Kaleidoscope Holos before they disappear (the Kaleidoscope collection is discontinued. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll ever get my hands on Let’s Do It In 3d, or Tickle My Triangle. Le Sigh)
I’m sorry my application is a bit messy, I’m not what you’d call a pro at applying nail polish, and yes, my cuticles are a mess. I’m over it, lol.
It’s My Turn 3 Coats. This is a glittery Gold holographic polish (meaning it reflects many different colors, but the glitter sort of works together, rather than independently, savvy?) with has a cool undertone that I’m not sure if I like, though truth be told I think the coolness probably suits my skin tone better than a warm gold would. Those of you familiar with the OMG collection Holos you might think these look more like a glitter polish. I love the smooth-linear-ness of the OMG holos, but these are just….Amazing. I can’t tell which I prefer more, the smooth Holo of the OMG’s or the chunkier holo of these Kaleidoscope polishes. The OMG’s are pretty much opaque in 2 coats, the Kaleidoscope’s typically need 3, since they seem to not have much of a base color.
Let’s Groove 2 coats. A dark purple shimmer with a lit-from within radiance. In person, you relly don’t see with little blue and red shimmers, but they are there. I didn’t think I was going to care for this one as much as the others, but it turned out to be my fave. This one applies really well.
omg all these colors are gorgeous! i love colorclub and lol! they are so pretty! i need to get my hands on these.
you and i have the same colors – just that i didnt get them from china glaze.. it’ll be cool to see the difference between em… xx
You are a freaking nail genius and I bow to you. Seriously. Do you know how much I’ve spent on nail stuff cause of you! My hero, my husband’s enemy. Lol!
Great colors! I love the Gold Holo! I’m still trying to get my nails in shape. I’m wearing acrylics for now, I really hate them because they look so fake, but my own nails are like paper!!
My current favorite nailpolish is color clubs rubies and pearls and bourjois1 second per nail. With the bourjois one it doesn’t say which color it is but it’s a dark bourgondy color with redish-pink glitters in it.
I love Color Club polishes! I’m from the bay too, well kinda Vallejo is still technically part of it, and Bed Bath and Beyond sells them. Other than that I sometimes find them at random Ross locations.
But they are supposedly sold in salons so look around there too.
