The last four shades from Color Club's Untamed Luxury Indulgence Collection were all great as far as the application goes...except for the last one, Pretty In Platinum. I used 2 coats on these as I did with the others in this huge collection, and overall, I'm pretty pleased with all of them other than Pretty in Platinum. De-

Hautie from the Glitter collection were disappointing not because of the shades, but because of the finish. They're somewhat dull and lack the ability to bring the glitter in them to their full potential. I'm going to try them with a high gloss top coat to see if that doesn't help things out.
Above & Below: Soft as Cashmere is a "Love", "Perfect 10", "Thumbs Up" for me. This putty grey taupe shade applied like a dream and has a little something extra in the formula to give it a totally unique look. What makes this one unlike any similar shades (comparison below), is a dull olive green. When I removed it, the only color on the cotton ball was straight up olive.
Below: The middle and pinkie fingers are wearing Soft as Cashmere, while the index (top) finger is Color Club High Society, and the ring finger is American Apparel Mouse.
Below: Positively Posh had a very nice formula also, but it's not quite as unique as Soft as Cashmere. This dark taupe or light milk chocolate shade has some pretty close dupes, as you'll see a few photos down.
Below: A comparison with Essie Mink Muffs (top-index), Positively Posh (middle), Orly Prince Charming (ring), and
OPI You Don't Know Jacques (bottom-pinkie). It's very close to
OPI YDKJ.
Below: Wild Orchid is a lighter gray creme with tiny multi colored (pink and blue/green) micro glitter. The blue/green glitter is the most prominent in this shade. The photo below was taken indoors with a flash, while the others were taken outdoors in the sun.
Below: In the shade, it takes on a blue/grey look.
Below: My first thought when I saw this in the bottle, was that it reminded me of Orly Pixie Dust. In reality, Pixie Dust (on my top-index and middle fingers) is more blue, while Wild Orchid is clearly more grey (ring and pinkie fingers).
Below: Pretty in Platinum sounds nice, and looks nice in the bottle, but no. Just no from me on this frosty pearly white with a pale grey tint. Is anyone in agreement with me here?
You can scroll back through the last couple of days to see all of the shades in this collection, if you're interested. All in all, there are some nice shades in both sets that make up the collection, and there are a few that are not anything terribly unique. 13 of 14 had excellent formulas and application (sorry, Pretty in Platinum!), and my personal favorites are probably Snakeskin and Soft as Cashmere. Do you have a couple of favorites?
