Color Club Hot Like Lava

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I did a quick color change to another of the Color Club Foils last night, so I'm wearing Hot Like Lava today.  It's got the same finish as the last (all six do), is partway between pink and red, and is fantastic.  One coat of Hot Like Lava would have been plenty but for the ridges in my nails, so I added a second and that concealed them nicely.  The polish was exceptionally easy to control, is very pigmented, and dried quickly.  I topped it off with a coat of Poshe and called it a manicure.

Since the likelihood that I'll think of taking a picture of the manicure later is very slim, I have an artificial light picture for you that I just took, and the polish is thoroughly dry.  To be honest, Hot Like Lava is really fabulously glowy in a way that never translates to a picture, so this picture sells it short.  What it reminds me of in indoor lighting is what metal looks like with a colored finish, the kind that's usually done on aluminum things - if an e-cig battery came in this color, I'd be all over it (that's the only colored aluminum item I'm using these days...).  There might be a name for colored metal like that, I don't know, but maybe Indi will help us out with that one.  Anyhow, since it the middle of the night I used artificial light, and my picture just gives you a tiny hint of how awesome this polish is.  I'll put my camera in my purse on the off chance I think of taking another one and if I get one that's worthwhile I'll tack it on later.  In the meantime, here's Hot Like Lava.

The bright light for the picture washed the color out somewhat, and it's really a bit darker than it appears here, but this was the least washed out picture of the bunch.  The coolest thing about it is the glowiness, where in normal lighting a line down the center of my nails is lit up and the sides are darker, and I think any adequately lit picture loses that, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

So far, the Color Club Foils are two for two, and I'm looking forward to seeing if the winning streak continues.  For now, that's Hot Like Lava, so until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

Color Club Lumin-icecent

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I'm sorry I've been neglecting you, but I have something very cool to show you this morning to make up for it.  Color Club sent their Foiled collection, which is a collection of six really nice foils (or chromes), and when I finally had a chance to change my polish, I picked Lumin-icecent to wear.  That's a super Suzi name, but more like Suzi on a good day since the color of this one is a good ice blue.

I meant to take a picture of three days' wear on Facets of Fuchsia because I had no chips or tip wear at all, but it really needed to be changed because that Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle serum I'm using really seems to be working - the manicure looked a good five days grown out.  However, it was 11:30 at night when I had a chance to change color, so here wasn't adequate light to be had.

For Lumin-icecent, I used Nailtek II as a base since it's a ridge filler.  I have pretty pronounced ridges in my nails and chromes are the absolute least forgiving finish for that, so I figured ridge filler would help me out.  I then applied two coats of Lumin-icecent, which went on very easily and was no problem at all to control.  To avoid brush strokes, I just used a light hand with the brush and it worked out well.  I finished it off with a coat of Poshe, and now I have a perfect manicure for a very chilly day.  Here's Lumin-icecent totally dry on a cloudy day.

I love this because it's foily enough to look like metal, but isn't bad on brush strokes or showing my ridges too much, and it's a perfect ice blue.  The other five shades are equally good - Color Club left out the obligatory silver and gold that have been done to death and gave us just cool colored foils.  I had a hard time choosing which to wear and just picked this one so I could put it on and get to sleep.

Lumin-icecent is just the first of the Color Club Foils I have to show you, so there will be more to come.  Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
