Color Club Untamed Luxury Indulgence Collection

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

This morning I had a chance to swatch the other half of the Color Club Untamed Luxury colors, the Indulgence Collection, that I'd promised you a while back.  The colors are tame, but modern and quite nice nonetheless.  Like the others, the polishes applied well and were easy to control, and all but one of the seven were two coaters, with the seventh requiring three coats.  The dry time for these is good.

I took the pictures in very early morning sunlight, so it's not the most even light I've ever had, but it gives you a good look at the colors and their finish.

Pretty in Platinum is a pale shade that's a cross between beige and grey, with a subtle shimmer.  This is two coats.

Wild Orchid is neither wild nor orchid, but a good color.  It's a light greige with a sparkly shimmer, and I used two coats.

Soft as Cashmere is a muted brown beige creme, and this is the one that needed three coats to be totally opaque and even.  Having said that, I'll let you assume the polishes that come after it are all two coaters.

Positively Posh is a muted brown creme.

Jewel of a Girl is a deep reddish brown shimmer.

Nothing but Truffle is a deep brown shimmer.

Ready to Royal is a deep plum creme that looks almost black on the nail.  Not quite black, but almost.

That's all of Color Club's Indulgence Collection, which wraps up Untamed Luxury.  As you can see, all seven shades are pretty tame, very work-safe colors.  At the same time, I find them to be very modern, pretty representative of what we're seeing a lot of this year.  I like them.

That's it for today, Dear Reader.  Tomorrow I'll resume with SpaRitual's Imagine Collection, and until then, love and nail polish to you!  

Eyeko Summer 2010

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I mentioned the other day that Eyeko had sent me samples of a few of their Summer 2010 release, and I have swatches for you today.  I was again impressed with the quality of the polish - it's very smooth and easy to control, and all shades were good in two coats.  The shimmery glitters were thinner, and I was sure they'd need a third coat when I applied the first of each, but I was wrong - two was still perfect.  The dry time on the one I wore was quite good as well.

Here's the press release for the whole Summer 2010 Collection so you can see the colors I don't have swatches of.  You'll see they are five new shades and five rereleases.

I like that there's great variety here, and there is amongst the five I was sent.

Tea Rose Polish (for country nails) is a subdued rose creme.

Cosmic Polish (for space age nails) is a black base with holo microglitter.

The last is Vampira (for gothic nails), which is a black base with red microglitter.  This is what I've wanted other blacks with red glitter to look like.

I'm really please with each of these, and I don't think any is a miss.  I'll likely get some more of this collection - Lilac and Vintage are calling my name loudly.  So, so far so good with Eyeko - not a single complaint from me.

That's all for today, Dear Reader.  Until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!
