Color Club Untamed Luxury

I'll post more March Greens this week, but I wanted to take a break from that to share a Color Club collection from Fall 2010 that I found recently at Winners.  Here are the seven polishes from Color Club Untamed Luxury: Every Shade of Indulgence. 

Pretty in Platinum
Light, pearl gray. I don't have anything like this in my collection. This was three coats. The formula seemed thick but runny and every flaw in my nails showed through the polish. The color is gorgeous though, so it'll be worth a good base coat and some patience. This was the only one of the set that gave me problems with application.

Wild Orchid
Shimmery medium gray, with blue/lavender tones. Two coats, great application. Another shade without dupes in my collection. I'm starting to think I'm lacking in the gray department.

Positively Posh
A great medium brown creme. Three coats but two might be enough. I have a few similar shades but this is a bit darker than the others; maybe I should do a comparison post for this one.

Soft As Cashmere
Greige, how I love you. Three coats on this one, too. 


Nothing But Truffle
Coppery brown shimmer in a dark chocolate base. Two coats. Similar to SH Xtreme Wear Chocolate Nut or NYC Canal Street but darker than either of those.

Jewel of a Girl
Metallic burgundy-wine shimmer in a blackened red base. Two coats. I have a Wet n Wild that's pretty similar-Under Your Spell. 

Ready to Royal
Dark, almost black, eggplant. This seems like almost a jelly finish. Two coats. Plenty of dupes for this one out there. I have a mini Funky Fingers (no name) that is close, Rimmel Deliciously Dark is pretty close too, and NYC Lincoln Park is just a little more burgundy than purple.

NOTD: Full Nail Fauxnad

Elf Desert Haze as the base and Elf Smoky Brown using plate BM19. I really like how these colours look together. The photos don't do it justice. I'm still learning to do full nail stamps. They don't all line up exactly and there always seems to be a little bit of nail showing at one edge.

NOTD: Mannequin Hands

Kleancolor in Mocha. This polish went on smoothly and was opaque with two coats. I'll update this when I know how it wears. Photo is with flash. This shade is just a little too dark to be nude on my skin tone but I love it anyway. It's one of those colours that seem meh in the bottle but looks great on. And it's such a change from my usual nail polishes.
 What do you think of mannequin hands, nude or nearly nude polish? Chic or boring?
