Color Club Take Wing Collection for Summer 2012 Swatches, Photos & Review
Happy Presidents’ Day! It’s not a holiday for me but I did take the day off as a vacation day, so it kinda counts!
Color Club Take Wing is a new summer collection. It features six bright mega-shimmery polishes. It’s a little reminiscent of Misa Paradise Shore from last year, as someone reminded me on Twitter.
The formula with all of these was good. They were on the thinner side, a little sheer but built up completely opaque in three coats. You could do two thicker ones most likely, but I’m a three-coat kinda lady. A few of these look a little duochrome-esque in the bottle but it doesn’t really show much on the nail, sadly.
Daisy Does It
Daisy Does It is a warm yellow/gold shimmer. It’s a much more wearable yellow than Under My Sunbrella from Misa for me. More gold, less orange. Pretty!
Fly With Me
Fly With Me is a grass green with green and yellow shimmer. It reminds me a little bit of China Glaze Zombie Zest, but a lighter more spring-like green base. It’s also in the same green/yellow shimmery kind of family as Orly It’s Not Rocket Science, but again, not a dupe. It’s definitely my favorite in the collection.
Sparkle and Soar
Sparkle and Soar is a medium orange with heavy yellow and orange shimmer. Super rich and gorgeous. It reminds me a little of Milani Brisk Orange but not an exact dupe.
Wing Fling
Wing Fling is a bright fuchsia pink with pink shimmer. Pretty but not that unique. Very similar to Milani Hot Pink Frenzy or Kat Von D No Regrets, to name a couple.
Sky High
Sky High is a medium blue with light blue shimmer. I was a bit disappointed with this one because it’s kind of just ok looking, and in the bottle it looked like maybe there would be a purple duochrome effect. It’s there but very subtle. It’s very similar to Kat Von D Mad Max except Mad Max has a very cool strong duochrome effect in person that this one doesn’t have.
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is a sea-green with light green shimmer. In the bottle there are hints of purple/blue but it’s definitely not apparent on the nail. Still it’s a nice shimmery green and I don’t think I have a dupe for it. Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost is a similar green, but not the same finish.
Availability: April 2012.
What do you think about Take Wing? Interesting or too many colors you’ve seen before?

Do you like this product?
I think they’re pretty but they’re hard to find where I live. Eventually these collections end up at my local Ross / Marshalls and I’ll pick them up there.

The shimmer in these is really pretty! I like Sparkle and Soar. I have something similar for most of the other ones, so I could live without those.

The colors are very pretty, but not unique. I’m in a wedding and the colors are spring green and black. I’ll keep my eye out for the Studio M version of the lighter green.

These are pretty, but I think Fly With Me is the only color that I haven’t seen a few times over. That said, if you don’t already have these colors, they look like a good option..
Pretty colors, but nothing I haven’t seen before.
Oh gee, these colors would have been perfect with a New Years outfit or a girl wanting to look very loud and sparkly for her bday!!

That orange! I love it!
Fly With Me and Sparkle & Soar are nice but I’m not sure any of them are that exciting. Decent collection I suppose.
I didn’t get anything from Misa Paradise Shore so I might spring for this if I find a set on sale. Otherwise, Sparkle and Soar is the only one that’s really doing it for me.

While I didn’t think any of the colours were completely original, I do think they’re very pretty and that they definitely remind me of the summer. That’s a huge plus – anything that makes me think of warm weather is a hit.
But out of all your lovely swatches, I really loved Daisy Does It on you!

They are really pretty, but they don’t really get me going. Metamorphosis is the only one that piqued my interest, but then I realized that I already have WnW’s Caribbean Frost and you are right- they look close!

Sparkle and Soar really catches my eye. I don’t usually go for oranges. Nice collection. Will have to add some of these to my list.
Very pretty swatches! By the way, I love that I can read your whole blog post now without having to “click through” to see the rest. Makes it much easier to read from Google Reader on my computer or my phone.
Pretty. But I kinda feel like been there, done that. So, I think this collection gets a pass from me.

Definitely too many colors I’ve seen. Can we not see something unique for summer anymore?!

I’m surprised by how much I love Daisy Does it, as I usually don’t like yellow polishes at all. Metamorphosis also catches my eye…
Very pretty. I’m loving sparkle and soar. but they are a bit repetitive. Maybe i’ll wait until they’re at my local Ross.

Metamorphosis is the most interesting to me… overall, I’m not crazy about this collection, though. Maybe it’s just the weather- it’s not summery enough out yet for these colours!

These remind me of the Nubar polishes for The Painted Nail which I wanted but never ended up buying… I may have to get this set, I love CC sets!
I love all of these! I really like color club, there lacquer always last on my nails. Thx for the post!!

Oops! Should be “their”. I need to proof read.

Oh, my goodness…an orange that I really do like!
I’ll more than likely pick this one up when it shows up at Ross. I have been wondering what CC would choose to do their summer colors in. I was hoping not a dusty pastel (already done) or a neon collection (also already done and I passed on with Electric Pop).
Do you think it is the bottle’s glass that shows a duo shade but is lost once the polish is out of the bottle? I want to know how we are being tricked!

The only one I’m really liking at all is Sparkle And Soar. I’m reallt digging oranges lately and this one is so pretty and bright. Otherwise the rest are kinda done which is good because I’m pretty broke these days.
Kelly, these are amazing!!! Can’t wait to see them in stores!

This collection reminds me of China Glaze’s Island Escape collection. I kinda like Metamorphosis

They’re all pretty but no must haves. Definitely passing on this collection.
They are REALLY pretty–but to me, very similar to the China Glaze Island Escape collection (color-wise). The aqua is different though. Too bad it’s not duochrome, I would have grabbed the whole set!

apart from fly with me and metamorphosis, the rest is meh. it feels like as though i have seen so many colours similar to them!

I like Sparkle & Soar, but this set doesn’t seem to be very unique. Kinda passable for me.

Very similar to some colors Ive seen already.
