Today I have the entire set of Color Clubs Spring 2013 Holo Hues Collection. I missed out on the first set, when everyone was buying them at cheaper prices, so when I found this set through an IG connection I made sure I grabbed one before the prices went up.
They are all outdoor pix with the exception of 1 indoor pic for each set. I was fighting with keeping the sun but it was well worth it because the holo is amazing. Since none of the pictures were taken in my light box the quality isn't quite up to par with what I usually post. I prefer to show you how great the holo is vs having fancy pictures for this post. I hope you enjoy, I really enjoyed swatching and photographing them!

The formula on each and every one of these is amazing! They are smooth as silk and dried really fast considering I didn't use a fast dry top coat. I think my favorites of the collection are Eternal Beauty, Cosmic Fate and Miss Bliss. The most surprising being Cosmic Fate, I thought it would be the one I'd like the least but it's quite stunning on the nail! All 6 shades are shown as 2 coats for full opacity. I only used my Elmer's as my base (sort of a ridge filler to avoid having to buff the ridges) and I didn't use a top coat either. I have heard that the top coat doesn't dull the holo of these like it can with most holos. Wear on these seems to be pretty good, especially since I didn't use a regular base coat or a top coat. I got mine to last over 24 hours with dish washing and showering without chipping before I had to remove to do more swatching.
So....which is your favorite?
I should note that Color Club has just started taking pre-orders on this set at $10 a piece here.

Hi, darlin'! I'm STUNNED by Beyond. Wasn't expecting it,when I came across a promo piece a couple of months back. It's gorgeous,as are all the rest in the collection.
ReplyDeleteLove the first set. Love the second set. Here's hoping they now go even bolder in a third set. I bet they do it! ;)

I still need to get the first set! I actually just received Cloud Nine today from a giveaway, so only 5 more to go! LOL
DeleteI agree, I hope they go even bolder for another set! This one was definitely bolder than the first set so maybe the next one will be either vampy or even NEON!
Those look amazing, great photos! I haven't even bought all the shades from the first collection yet :O I guess I should do that and then start hunting for these :P
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten them all either, just 1 lonely shade from the first collection. I love this set though! Bolder than the first!
DeleteI am really starting to fall in love with holos. These look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese are my fisrt actual holos...I have a few Indies and and the Milani set but they aren't the same, these are magnificent. I recommend getting them!
DeleteOh wow those are amazing! I guess I have to buy Beyond and Cosmic Fate.
