Color Club Back To Boho - Part 2!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back to Part 2 of my latest Color Club stash! The Back to Boho collection is an almost perfect Autumn/Winter collection - despite it being last year's collection, its still a great one to have!

Let's crack on, shall we?

Color Club Artsy Crafty

 

 

This is one of those polishes that leave me wondering if they are worth the effort. The colour is lovely - a sort of British Racing Green - but application was not. This was just two coats, but the polish formula was a bit too runny for me. It was the hardest to apply, it needed a lot of clean up AND it stained my cuticles.  You can see how messy it is in the pictures.


Color Club Blue-topia

 

Another polish, which wasn't what I expected! At first glance, this looks a bit purple-y in the bottle, but when applied its very very blue! Its an ultra-glossy blackish blue - very vampy! This was just two coats, and again the formula was a little bit runny, and prone to stain. However, this was a lot nicer to apply compared to Artsy Crafty.


Color Club Rebel Spirit

 

 

 

Last but not least, we have this rich reddish brown. It looks like a grunge-y khaki brown in the bottle, and well, a bit dirty. I had rather low expectations of this, and if it hadn't been in the set, I would never have bought it or tried it. Instead, we have something that is a lot more elegant and grown up. This polish needed 2 coats, as it was a little bit streaky to apply. This is the polish I'll go to, when I want something dark, but not true black. I'm so glad I have this in my collection - this is a close second to being my favourite from this collection - Nouveau Vintage is my top pick from this set!

What do you think? Do you have any favourites from the Back To Boho collection?

What are your top picks for the darker months?

Let me know,

Color Club Back To Boho - Part 1

Hi Everyone!

Whilst this is a collection from 2011, I have only acquired it recently! And I am so glad that I did, as it is a great collection for Autumnal nails! Its full of rich, jewel tones and a couple of surprising flecked polishes full of shimmer!

I got the second part of this collection, courtesy of Beth who spotted it in her local TK Maxx (a polish haven, yes?) and quite rightly, she knew I'd love it!! I'm going to share the first three with you today! All polishes are shown without top coat, as I wanted to show the polishes as they dry naturally! So here we go!

Color Club Boho Mojo

 

 

OK, so truth be told, this is my least favourite in the collection. Its a bit frosty and streaky for me, however it has a beautiful consistency and feels lovely to apply. This was a 2-3 coater; I could have gotten away with just 2, but I was trying to get rid of the streaks. It has that molten metal sort of finish to it, which is kinda nice, but no matter what I did, those streaks just annoyed me. Especially under the flash. Its all I can see in these pictures, I don't even notice the colour. In the natural light pictures, it does look a lot softer, but I can't spend my days avoiding bright lights just because of my nail colour.


Color Club Nouveau Vintage

 

 

In a nice contrast to Boho Mojo, this is one of my favourites in this collection. Its a bit gorgeous, and the SHIMMER! Oh, it reminds me of the mixture of Autumn leaves, all the beautiful bronzes, golds and browns. In the bottle, it looks a bit grungey, but when its on, its really lovely! This is showing 2 coats - the polish applied really nicely and dried quite quickly too! Gorgeous formula and a beautiful finish!


Color Club Voodoo You Do

 

 

Again, a slightly frosty polish, but a rather unusual one for me. This had a rather thick formula, which applied OK - not as nicely as the other two though. This was just two coats, and the polish dried to an almost rubbery finish! Its a dark, woody green with lots of shimmer in it - personally, I think the colour is beautiful, and gorgeous for this time of year, but I don't think it suits me. It does look rather elegant on long nails though - if you're a fan of greens, this is a must! Maybe I'll bring it out for some Christmas manicures!

So there we have the first three polishes - keep your eyes open for the next part!

Do you have any must-have Autumn polishes? Any Winter-y recommendations?!

See you soon,
