Happy Saturday! We finally got some sun here in Nor/Cal so I was able to swatch that pesky last Color Club creme polish. These all went on really nicely, but because they were so pigmented and dark, they tended to be a bit messy to get off and did slightly stain the nail. Definitely use a good base coat when wearing these! All pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Haute Couture
Haute Couture is a really nice dark reddish brown creme, I guess I would call it brick red. It was pretty pigmented so I only needed two coats. Very nice consistency and flow to the polish.

Morning Vampies! Today I am going
to show you the other three Carolyn New York swatches I took. It is a
cold rainy grey day here and supposed to be the next couple days, so I thought these colors were fitting! I am
hoping to somehow take new pics of the Color Club cremes so I can show
you in decent lighting, but without my friend the sun around, it might
be difficult! The Carolyn New York polishes all had fabulous
consistency and application. All pics taken in sun
with no top coat.

Handball Courts
This is a really nice silvery dove grey shimmery polish. It went on pretty sheer so it needed three coats. I love, love, love grey polish and was really pleased with this. For a second I thought it might be close to OPI’s Sheer Your Toys, but no. This is more grey and doesn’t have the red flecks that OPI’s does. It is very close to RBL’s Concrete Jungle, but this has shimmer whereas that is a creme.

Morning! Yesterday I told you I would be bringing you my Color Club creme swatches. I had planned on it until I realized something. I either forgot to swatch one of them or accidentally deleted all pics of it because I only have 3 pics and I swatched 4 polishes! So instead I am bringing you a few Carolyn New York swatches. I had never tried this brand and had wanted to ever since I saw one of them posted on the MUA board and died, it was so pretty. I ordered 5 of them and am bringing you two today. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Mugged On The Six Train

This is the one I saw on MUA and knew I must own. Isn’t it great? It’s just amazingly sparkly in the sun, my pics do not do it justice. I would say this is a slightly purpled out cranberry with lots of red/pink shimmer. A fabulous holiday color! This only needed two coats, it’s pretty pigmented.
