CrowsToes Um, No...He Went To The Pawn Shop

I love this polish. LOVE! I seriously thought about buying a back up bottle and it's very, very rare that I do that. It has an interesting vintage feel to it and looks really great over a number of different base colors and it can be built up to worn alone. Love this one! 

I bought this at llarowe. This is one coat over a blue that I can't remember with one coat of topcoat. 




Here it is with indoor light. Doesn't it have a vintage feel?


CrowsToes Heartshaped Box of Horse *!@#!

I love CrowsToes. I'm always excited when I see a new collection released. When the ValenCrows collection was available from llarowe I bought them right quick. She does glitter extremely well plus I enjoy her as a person. This is a glitter packed polish with brown, copper.gold and red glitter. The best part is that there are different shaped glitter which includes square. I love square glitter! I want more square glitter. I'm very happy with this polish. 

This is one coat of Heartshaped Box of Horse *!@#! over a pearly white that I made myself. One coat of topcoat over everything. 





Color Club 2013 Halo Hues Collection

It seems these were released a bit earlier than Color Club expected. I was surprised to see these on Ebay but was pretty happy about it so I bought a set. These are amazingly and wonderfully holographic with a beautiful formula. They go on like a creme and I had no issues applying them like other holo polishes. If you have been hesitant about trying a holo because of the formula you should try these - just gorgeous! 

This is a heavy photo post and please pardon the dry hands. It's really cold here and my skin is showing it. I think I need to soak in lotion for an hour! I'm also wearing topcoat in all of these photos and it did not dull the holo effect. They all seem to have a slight metallic sheen to them that isn't very obvious but I do see it. I'm guessing it's the holographic pigment. 

On to the swatches! 

Beyond is a black holographic. This is one coat. One! This is a dense black and it reminds me of Jade Magia Negra. It's more black and opaque compared to Layla Flash Black. 






Eternal Beauty is a mid-tone grape purple. This photographed lighter and I tried to color correct it but I just couldn't. It's lighter than Color Club Wild at Heart and much, much more holographic. It's a bit darker than Layla Ultra Violet. It's about the same purple as China Glaze Gamer Glam but it seems to fall in between the color wheel of other purple holo polishes I have. 

Here is a color accurate but bad lighting photos. This is one coat as well. 


Here you can see it shows lighter and more pastel in looks but it's actually deeper with a slight dusty quality. 





Cosmic Fate is a peach/copper. This is in the same color family as Layla Coral Glam and maybe some older OPI Designer Series colors. The holo in this really stands out against the base color. This is two coats. 

Low light to show the base color better. 


Bright light. 





Over the Moon is, I think, my favorite. It's a bit lighter than Layla Ocean Rush and it reminds me of a few Ozotic holo polishes. A lovely deep aquamarine or a london blue topaz color. Yum! 

Low light. 


Bright light. 





Kismet is a lime green. It's a green and as much as I love green I wish Color Club had done a darker green. This is two coats. 

Low light. 


Bright light. 





Miss Bliss is a deep pink that has a slight magenta undertone. This is two coats. I'm drawing a blank on colors that are in the same family. I'm sure there are but my brain is just not pulling any out at the moment. 

Low light. 


Bright light. 





RGB Copper

Another newer polish from RGB that I bought from b-glowing. I really like copper and this is a great one. It has lots of shimmer and this is only one coat. It's not too red or too orange but a nice basic copper. I do enjoy polishes that are named with the color that they happen to be. I like green and copper together but I see more blue and copper combinations in the polish world. Hey, polish makers! You should experiment with green and copper mixes. I could be your test subject. 







CrowsToes Celaeno

Don't forget about the giveaway!

I lost my internet connection and it was out from early Friday morning until early Tuesday morning. Annoying though this is the first time in years that my internet connection was lost so I can't complain too much. It was still annoying! I love the internet. 

Here is CrowsToes Celaeno from the new Pleiades Collection. The entire collection is made up of beautiful duochromes. I love duochromes and I was happy to see that these were not holo which is my preference. I had no issue with the formula but a bit of thinner may be needed. My black base was a mess so any lumps or bumps are from that and not Celaeno. I think next time I'm going to wear a less harsh base - maybe a brown or dark grey or green. 

Celaeno has copper/bronze/olive/yellow tones but the best part is the copper twinkle light sparkles. They are the same type of sparkles that Clarins 230, OPI Movin' Out and La Boheme has and I love it! It really gives it more depth and life. The entire collection is gorgeous! 

Lots of photos and I tried to show the color shift but this polish is much better in reality.
