Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics had six fabulous new Lip Tar colors out in their fall collection.

Most of these are variations of red but there are a couple other ones in there also. I was really pleased to discover that they are all really wearable colors. Nothing too shocking or over the top or neon here.

As with other Lip Tars I have reviewed in the past, these are most excellent. They apply so easily and are really creamy. You just need a SMIDGE. When I say that I am not kidding, the tiniest amount goes way farther than you would imagine.

If you don’t like peppermint, you may not like Lip Tars as they do have a rather strong peppermint scent. It does go away after a bit though.

One thing to note about the lip swatches below. The colors in real life are a little brighter than my camera picks up on (especially Trollop). The swatches on my hand are more accurate as they were taken in a light tent with a flash, so you see the brightness.

She’s here – the mythical, mysterious, much coveted NARS Zulu!! I have had to sit on this literally for a few months now, and it’s been killing me since I know lots of you have been wondering about it!

Zulu came out a few years ago as a limited edition color. This was a color I missed and from what I have heard it sold out quickly, started selling on eBay for astronomical prices and has been a “holy grail” polish ever since. Well now NARS has brought it back as part of their Vintage Nail Collection for Fall 2010. The colors in this collection include:

• Mash – Army green with gold shimmer (my swatch here)
• King Kong – Copper brown with gold shimmer
• Midnight Express - Dark navy creme
• Zulu – Dark forest green jelly
• Full Metal Jacket – Gunmetal grey metallic

This collection is limited edition. Stores will sell it for 3 months and NARS will sell it on their website until they run out of stock.

Color Club‘s new Luxury Untamed collection is a 14 piece two-parter. Yesterday I showed you my favorite half which is called Indulgence. Today I have Diamond for ya.

These are more glittery finishes, but dare I say, not as interesting as Indulgence in my eyes…

The formula was great for some, didn’t pan out for others.

De-Luxe-Cious

De-Luxe-Cious is a silver/grey with multi-colored shimmer. The idea of this is great but the problem is that the glitter sinks into the polish and kind if disappears into it. It winds up looking chunky and not all that great. This was two coats.

Color Club has a huge new fall collection out called Untamed Luxury. It includes two sets of 7 polishes each; one called Indulgence and one called Diamond.

Today I have Indulgence for you since it was my favorite of the two.

This collection features some amazing cremes and shimmers and a frost for good measure.

The formula was totally outstanding as per usual with Color Club. Their polishes are always like BUTTAH!

Pretty In Platinum

Pretty In Platinum is a frosty silver/white. Wow this is a seriously hot white, it might be my favorite one now. It went on so opaque I barely even needed a second coat. It is a tiny bit streaky but nothing horrible.

OPI wants us to Go Goth this Halloween with their mini-set of four dark, vampy nail lacquers.

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year so I am always happy to check out what cute collections are out.

Mini bottles aren’t my favorite because they are hard to work with. What do I have hamster hands? But I do love all these colors even though they all have dupes or close-to-dupes for them.

The formula was decent, no issues really. They all managed to cover nicely in two coats.
