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.

EOTD: Drama

Here's the latest in my series using elf's brightening eye colors.
Products Used:
Elf Studio Eye Primer & Liner Sealer
Elf Brightening Eye Color in Drama
Elf Liquid Liner in Black
Elf Studio Mineral Infused Mascara in Black



Prime entire eye lid. Then blend the dark grey from the drama quad from the lash line to the crease. Using the silver, blend out the gray above the crease and up to the brow bone. White is used as a brow highlight and to blend the edges of the silver/gray.
Line the upper lash line with black liquid liner and set with the black shadow. Smudge black shadow along lower lash line. Curl your lashes and finish with two coats of black mascara.


That's it! Really quick but it's good for day or night. To make it more of an evening look, just darken the crease with black shadow and blend the gray higher up.
