Color Club Bewitching Mini Set
For Halloween, Color Club is offering an adorable mini set. This set has some really great colors...
Spellbound - Neon orange. Normally, I steer clear of oranges. They never seem to look right with my skintone. However, this one has enough red in it to make it work for me. It's very bright, and as it's a neon, it dries matte. This is a perfect Halloween polish and I plan on wearing it on Halloween (along with the below products). Pic is 3 thin coats to try to hide VNLs (as you'll notice, I wasn't totally successful).
This set also comes with the below decals (be sure to enlarge pic to see the detail, they all have colored gems).
Also, if you are really interested in Halloween nail art, Color Club's sister company, Art Club, has a companion gem set.
This has black, pearl, orange, and silver rhinestones, as well as black and orange seed pearls.
The mini set is available at TD, VNS, and H2T, and the Art Club set is available at VNS.
These were sent to me for review.
Bewitching - super dark black. This one is awesome. It's deep, rich, and opaque in one coat. It dries to a vinyl or "rubbery" finish, so if you want it super shiny, just at some TC. I know the general consensus in the nail polish world is that, for the money, WnW Black Creme is the best black on the market. Personally, I can't stand it. I find the formula to be runny and the brush to be a horrible mop. In fact, I am still trying to find my holy grail black creme. In my Sephora haul last week, I happened to order a bottle of Illamasqua Boosh (which I am expecting to be amazing), but if you are opposed to the hefty price tag, and find yourself in my same where-is-my-hg-black boat, check this one out. I'm not sure if CC offers a non-Halloween-themed, non-mini dupe to this color, but, IMO, this polish alone makes this mini set worth the price of admission.
Charmed I'm Sure - deep tyrian purple with purple, blue, and pink-red shimmer particles. This one is similar to CC Electronica, though they aren't dupes, yet a normal person would probably be happy with either/or. Charmed I'm Sure was opaque in 2 coats, whereas it takes 3 coats for Electronica. Electronica is also a tad lighter with a tad less shimmer. My picture is a bit bluer than IRL.
Hocus Pocus - Holo glitter. I have an addiction to holo top coats, and I prefer the ones that, with enough coats, can be worn on their own. CC Magic Attraction and OPI Paris Couture for Sure are my top 2, and I think I prefer this one to Magic Attraction. They are very close, but the glitter in Hocus Pocus is much finer in texture than Magic Attraction, which is a bit like craft glitter. This is 3 coats, and I did have a bit of free-edge drag due to the thickness of the glitter, but that can be combated with a sticky base coat and allowing the coats to dry in-between.
Spellbound - Neon orange. Normally, I steer clear of oranges. They never seem to look right with my skintone. However, this one has enough red in it to make it work for me. It's very bright, and as it's a neon, it dries matte. This is a perfect Halloween polish and I plan on wearing it on Halloween (along with the below products). Pic is 3 thin coats to try to hide VNLs (as you'll notice, I wasn't totally successful).
