Color Club VERY MERRY BERRY and SUGAR PLUM YUM Nail Polish Swatches and Review

Recently I went to my local Sally Beauty on the hunt for the new China Glaze collection.  They didn't have it yet, but imagine my THRILL to see a COLOR CLUB display!  I have never seen Color Club at Sally Beauty, and the manager told me this is the first collection they've ever gotten.  I really hope they continue to get them, these polishes are so nice and I don't have anywhere locally that sells them. 

The two polishes I bring you today are from a scented holiday collection from Color Club, Very Merry Berry and Sugar Plum Yum.

Both of these polishes are extremely pretty.  Each is scented with a sheer base and random different sized glitters throughout.  I noticed with both that once you got to 4 coats it basically never dried and you could just rub it right off.  I recommend stopping at 2 coats and layering over your favorite coordinating polish so that your mani isn't immediately ruined.  You COULD go to 3 coats for a nearly opaque coverage of glitter.  Be warned, you have to maneuver these glitters.

Very Merry Berry

Very Merry Berry is a mix of fuchsia and blue glitters.  There appears to be 3 different sizes of glitter and I found them very easy to apply and maneuver.  This has a wonderful berry scent, but don't sniff until it's completely dry or you're going to get a nose-full of lacquer smell.  In the swatch photo above the top finger has 4 coats, the middle finger has 3 coats, the ring finger has 2 coats, and the pinkie finger has 1 coat.

Sugar Plum Yum

Sugar Plum Yum is a mix of purple and green glitters, totally reminding me of Mardi Gras!  This also appears to have 3 different sizes of glitter, but was not as easy to coat and maneuver as Very Merry Berry.  This plummy scent isn't all that yummy.... but it's ok, just not my fave.  In the swatch photo above the top finger has 4 coats, the middle finger has 3 coats, the ring finger has 2 coats, and the pinkie finger has 1 coat.

These Color Club Nail Polishes were found at Sally Beauty Supply and I paid $4.49 each with my Beauty Club Card.  There were also several other shades, but I'm unsure of what they are or what the collection is.  I've emailed Color Club and update this post ASAP with any additional information.

Edit - Directly from Color Club! - - "The collection is called Scent-cuous Scents collection. We did it exclusively for Sally’s. There are six colors in the collection.  We are hoping that this will be the beginning of a long term relationship with them."

EEK!  I will DIE if Color Club comes to Sally's!  YAY!!!!!!

Color Club WICKED SWEET Nail Polish Collection Swatches & Review

Some time ago I won one of the prizes in a giveaway hosted by Samarium's Swatches. Part of the big win was an entire set of the Color Club Wicked Sweet Collection!! This was so exciting for me because I didn't own ANY Color Club polishes! I'm excited to share them with you today, and hope to share many more in the future!

The polishes in the Wicked Sweet, Summer 2011, Collection are all bright, fun, and SCENTED! Yum!

(L-R, Top Row: Wicked Sweet, The Lime Starts Here, I Always Get My Man-darin; Bottom Row: Yum Gum, Raspberry Rush, Gimme A Grape Big Kiss, Get Your Lem-on)

Yum Gum, Raspberry Rush, Gimme A Grape Big Kiss

YUM GUM

Scent wise, Yum Gum is my favorite. It smells just like original flavor bubble gum and is a pale yet bright barbie pink. I had to use 4 coats in the above swatch pic.

RASPBERRY RUSH

Raspberry Rush is a beautiful bright HOT pink. It was a bit thin, and though it seemed ok in 2 coats, I went for 3 in the swatch photo.

GIMME A GRAPE BIG KISS

Grape Kiss isn't as deep of a purple as you'd expect from the name (it's more fuschia), but it smells just like grape soda! I used 3 coats in the swatch photo.

I ALWAYS GET MY MAN-DARIN

I took 2 photos for the post of I Always Get My Man-darin to try and show off the really pretty green iridescence that glints when you move your hand around. It might show up more if you enlarge the photo. I wasn't a huge fan of the scent of this, it was definitely mandarin, but a bit sour. 3 coats.

GET YOUR LEM-ON

Get Your Lem-On is a very sheer neon yellow with a beautiful bluish green iridescence to it. This one was one of the worst for me to apply but I just love the color, and it smells like Fruity Pebbles cereal!!! It would look awesome with a base. 3 coats.

THE LIME STARTS HERE

The Lime Starts Here is a very bright neon yellow/green, and reminds me of that puffy paint you bought back in the 80's to decorate shirts with... am I showing my age here? lol The lime scent is VERY strong. The polish itself was thick and hard to apply. 3 coats.

WICKED SWEET

Mmmmmm... blueberries! Wicked Sweet smells SO good. The color is a bold bright blue with shimmer. It had the nicest application and needed 3 coats.

A few things I love about all of the shades, a top coat does NOT dull the scent of these polishes. I was worried if I added a top coat I wouldn't be able to catch the smell anymore. The scent lingers for about 24-48 hours, and I wash my hands quite a bit.

Overall, the polishes in this collection didn't coat very well, but they smell SO good. I was a total weirdo while I was swatching these and kept telling the hubby to sniff my fingers. He thought I was nuts haha we all go a little crazy when we're excited, right?!

Color Club polishes retail for $8 each. To purchase Color Club polishes, check out their website and make sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter!
