Color Club Reveal Your Mystery is the lighter and more subtle side of their 12 piece collection called Alter Ego.

Yesterday I showed you Keep It Undercover, which I think is definitely the stronger and more fun half.

The formula on these was a bit better in terms of thickness and stickiness. These flowed better and were nicer, though on the negative side, they were extremely sheer and didn’t build up as much as I hoped.

This collection comes with a milky white base coat, which is pretty sheer in itself, but I didn’t use it in these swatches. Maybe that would have helped with the streakiness though…

Incognito

Incognito is a super sheer nude. Basically it has barely any color, it just gives a very nude and shiny look to your nails. This was two coats.

Have you seen Black Swan yet? If not, RUN DON’T WALK to theaters! No really, it was hands down the best movie I had seen all year in 2010, I loved it. But why am I mentioning this movie in a post about Zoya nail polish? Why because this little baby was in the movie!

There is a scene where Natalie Portman is backstage in the dressing room (it’s about the Swan Lake ballet people, get with the times) and there on the table sits Zoya Bela, basking in her ballet-pink glow.

Hump day!

After today we are more than halfway through the week, yay! Actually I am off work the rest of this week because of A. Carpet installation Thursday (aka Hell Day) and B. My bday Friday (aka Fun Day).

Aaaaaannnnnyyywaaaayyyy, I have some colors I think 99.9% of earth has already seen at this point, but hey, I have ‘em, why not show ‘em?

These are some new (ish) Sally Hansen’s from the Salon Manicure line. I believe these are classified as a summer collection. Either way I’M classifying them that way because they came out in time for summer.

Without further adieu, here goes.

Silver Lining

Silver Lining is a light silver with multi-colored shimmer. I dunno, my socks weren’t knocked off here. It was a little too sheer and didn’t wow me as much on the nail as it did in the bottle. This was three coats.

Haaaaayyyyy people!

So it’s Tuesday and the beginning of the work week for me. Yay for four day work weeks; why aren’t they ALL this way?

Eyeko Makeup has a new collection of nail colors for summer and I’ve got them for you today.

I have reviewed some of their polish in the past here and here and had issues with the thickness and streakiness of the formula. I am pleased to say that this collection was MUCH better. The newer bottle shape is loads better (though the original shape was cute) and the light colors here are better than the previous pastel colors.

Peep ‘em out below.

Petite Polish

Petite Polish is a super pale, almost nude ballerina pink. It’s extremely sheer even after three coats, so it’s not my favorite. But it would work well in a very conservative setting or if you just wanted a clean shiny look to your nails.

Good evening!

I was so excited about these I swatched them as soon as I got them this afternoon, and wanted to post them as soon as possible.

This of course is China Glaze’s new Vintage Vixen collection for fall 2010. Yes fall. Already. We are not even into summer yet, but fall colors abound. But you know what? That’s fine with me because the fall collections are always my favorite. That’s when we see most of the darker and more weird colors come out, which I adore.

I must admit when I saw promo pics of these and heard the word “frost” being tossed about, I wasn’t all that thrilled. But it turns out I REALLY like the majority of this collection and was pleasantly surprised how un-frosty they turned out to be. They are more metallic than frost.

This collection comes in two separate sets, but I am showing them all to you now. Just so you have the info, here is how the sets are broken down:

Part 1 includes:

• Classic Camel
• Swing Baby
• Ingrid
• Goin’ My Way?
• Foxy
• Riveter Rogue

Part 2 includes:

• Hey Doll
• Bogie
• Emerald Fitzgerald
• First Class Ticket
• Midnight Mission
• Jitterbug

The formula was totally great on almost all of these. I had no problems with any of them but some were more opaque than others.

Check them out below!

Classic Camel

Classic Camel is a khaki/yellow/beige color with gold glitter flecks. This has a very warm yellow base but surprisingly didn’t totally clash with my skin. I was most excited about this color because it looked the most unusual from the promo pics. I was right! This was two coats.
