Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! Today I have six of the twelve new colors from Color Club's In True Fashion Fall 2012 Collection. These six are shimmers, metallics and/or duochromes. I'll be sharing the remaining six cremes later this week.
Editorial:
A Peridot Dupe? Yep... but I'll take it. It's way more affordable than the original and it's gorgeous! I love the gold/green shift change. I did use three coats of Editorial for full opacity as the formula is a bit sheer.
Show Time:
Show Time is a gorgeous deep charcoal metallic with loads of shimmer. I love charcoals and deep grays, so Show Time is easily one of my favorites of this collection. This one was a three coater too and topcoat is a must with Show Time as it's a tad gritty, but so chic and stylish!
Model Behavior:
Ok, for a copper/bronze, Model Behavior is nice, it does have a pretty shimmer... just not for me. The formula is sheer with this one too. You'll need three coats and Model Behavior streaked pretty badly too.
Personal Stylist:
Color Club lists Personal Stylist as a duochrome, but I'm just not seeing it.? It is a pretty blue metallic, but once again, the formula is really sheer... three coats are needed and you can still see a little balding close to my cuticles. If you're wanting this one because you think it's a duochrome, don't buy it because I'm not seeing it at all. :(
Port-Folio:
I just love Port-folio! It's the perfect purple/green duochrome! Once again, the formula is sheer, but after three coats, it's amazing!! I wore Port-folio for a few days and received tons of compliments. It's funny how the "average person" has never even heard of a "duochrome polish". I just kept glancing at my nails to see the different shifts of Port-folio. If you're only going to buy one of these, this one is it!!
First Looks:
First Looks is a stunning blue-black metallic shimmer. It's very highly pigmented.. I almost got away with one coat (which was quite a relief since the others were so sheer). Color Clubs lists this one as a "Blue Green Metallic", but I'm not seeing any green. Regardless, it's beautiful and will get much use by me this fall/winter.
**I'm kinda on the fence with these six polishes. I really love three of them (First Looks, Show Time and Port-folio). I like Editorial, but the remaining two were just kinda "meh." The sheer formula is another turn-off, but if you don't mind applying that third coat and then the "dry-time",you'll be ok. I'm looking forward to trying the remaining six cremes from this collection. I do love a good creme... hmmmm? maybe I'll try a water marble with them :)
