CND The Look of Love/Red Hot Set Swatches
Labels:

I saw this on Transdesign and was really excited because I love the CND Effect polishes. I got it and played with it and I'm bummed! I am really disappointed in the set. The duo includes Just Red, a red creme, and Red Sparkle. I bought it just for the Red Sparkle and all it is is fine red glitter in a clear base. What?! That's it?! Where is the amazing sparkle that the other Effect polishes have? Where is the cool shimmer and possible shifting of colors? It's just red glitter! Blah! The red polish is a nice basic red creme that leans to the cool side. Double blah!If you want some awesome red glittery polishes I suggest Models Own Scarlet Sparkle, China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Orly Star Spangled. And there are a number of others. I still love the other Effect polishes but I suppose every family needs a black sheep and this is the black sheep of the Effect line.
Here is Just Red.
Here is the basic red glitter that they call Red Sparkle. *growl*
Here is Red Sparkle (which is a glitter and not a sparkle) over Just Red.
Some combo photos.
Eh.

hmm I was looking at this on transdesign the other day thinking about buying it...but I don't like how big the glitter is. I think I'll pass on this set...thanks for the swatches!!
This is so pretty, that red is so luxurious looking!
I actually really like that red!
I actually want the red glitter. that's what I've been looking for.
I got this in the mail today, and I actually really love it! ;-)
It's not a bad set and the formula is nice on both. I'm just disappointed that it was so generic. And that just makes me sound like a snob. Ah, or I am jaded.
Not a snob! thanks for the swatches, you once again have saved me some $$$
I think you're right, it's rather "meh" as the interwebs say.
aww man. That is lame and disappointing. I also really really love the Effects, but that does not look like an Effect. It is pretty over the red base though.
What a disappointment compared to the other Effects!
