Color Club Beyond The Mistletoe Collection (Holiday 2011)

Color Club has a new Holiday collection, it's called Beyond The Mistletoe. It's six new colours, all beautiful sparkles with scattered holographic glitter. I bought this collection as a pack, if you can buy Color Club this way, I highly suggest it. It works out to be a lot cheaper, rather then buying them individually. Another great thing is, you discover colours you might have otherwise skipped. I did plan on just buying two of these and they actually turned out to be my least favourite of the pack! The pack actually came with a Club Clear Topcoat too. 

The polishes are full .5 oz size. On the wheel I used two coats of each colour plus two coats of Club Clear Topcoat. I found one still left it a little bumpy. My favourite of the six was Beyond The Mistletoe, which had the most holographic glitter. I thought my favourite would be Candy Cane, but it was a little less then stellar. My pack was $7.99 US (how awesome is that?!) at Ross in Bellingham. These are also available at Winners here in Canada. Winners can be a little hit and miss with what each store gets, but they are $13.99 CAD each.

The drawbacks of buying the Color Club packs are: the caps don't feel as nice (not a deal breaker) and the bottles aren't labeled. I suggest keeping the pack and beside each name on the pack dab a little polish, that way you can reference back to the pack for the name even if the bottles get mixed up.

Color Club Platinum Record compared to Oran-Minted

So I'm kicking my self for buying Orna-Minted this weekend, really the scent part sold me. I knew it looked familiar to Platinum Record but I kinda figured maybe it was a little different. Platinum Record is from the Backstage Pass Collection from this fall (click here to see that collection). Orna-Minted is a new colour from Sally's Color Club Scent-Suous Holiday Collection (click here to see that collection), it has a very overwhelming mint scent. Like I said in my original post, it smells like Vicks Vapour Rub as soon as you open the bottle, a little too strong for my liking! But today I was reading the Globe and Mail had an article that said taking a sniff of mint actually curbs your appetite. So a nail polish that makes you loose weight! I think we're on to something! LOL

So on to the swatches... they are exactly the same. Surprise surprise. Besides Orna-Minted having the scent they are the same polish, large silver hexagon glitter and regular size silver  glitter. Orna-Minted was $4.99 US at Sally's when I bought it in the states. Platinum Record I bought from eBay, but will retail for about $7 CAD each. I think they are pretty. I suggest going to Platinum Record if your not into heavy scents on your nails. 

THANKS FOR DROPPING IN!

Color Club Scent-Suous Scented Collection (Holiday 2011)

COLOR CLUB SCENT-SUOUS COLLECTION

Sally's Beauty Supply recently got these Color Club Scent-Suous Collection displays (link to picture of the displays)! Are they going to start carrying the full range of Color Club now? I sure hope so! I might be wrong but I think another blog had said that these were Sally's Beauty Supply exclusive colours. The collection had 6 colours I opted out of non-chunky sparkle ones. The names of the other colours that I skipped were Santa's Cinnamon (red sparkle, think China Glaze Ruby Pumps, cinnamon scented), Kiss Me Mistletoe (foiled light green, pine tree scented), and Gingerbread Man (light gold foil, gingerbread scented). I would have bought all of them but I seriously have a thing against all of thoughs scents. I bought mine in the states at a Sally's and they were $4.99 US each /.5 oz. 

Color Club Backstage Pass Collection Fall 2011

Color Club has recently came out with a few new collection all being released this Fall. This one is called Backstage Pass and its six polishes that are all crazy glitters that are amazing for layering. I have three of them from left to right: Backstage Pass, It's a Hit!, and Platinum Record. The collection also has three other polishes: Take the Stage, Wish Upon a Rock Star, Fame & Fortune. 

Backstage Pass, It's a Hit!, and Platinum Record over OPI Black Onyx as a base

Backstage Pass: a clear base with fuchsia, silver, grey and light purple hexagon glitter.

It's a Hit!: a clear base with light purple hexagon glitter

Platinum Record: a clear base with silver hexagon glitter and small silver and grey glitter

I love these! Totally channelling Deborah Lippmann! My favourite is Platinum Record, especially over the black polish, its so pretty! Color Club really isn't easily found in Canada, I bought these from eBay. I know websites like nailpolishcanada.com do carry Color Club but I don't see this collection available there yet.

Let me know what you think in the comments! I love reading comments and love new followers!
