Color Club Foil Me Once

I decided to paint my nails late last night and I wanted to use something easy to work with and that would dry fast. It's the reason behind my decision to go with Color Club Foil Me Once, from last years Foiled collection.

Foil Me Once is a light pink foil. There's not much else to say about it, so I'll let the pictures do the talking!

Like most foils, it was easy to work with and it didn't give me any problems at all. It only took two coats to be opaque, but it was almost good at one. The drying time was just as great.

Taken yesterday in poor sunlight and without topcoat:

Pinks aren't my favorite so I'm not totally crazy about it, but it's still pretty. If you love pink polish and love foil finishes, Foil Me Once is perfect for you.

OPI Swimsuit...Nailed It!

I can easily say that the polish I'm showing you today, is my favorite blue ever and it's only my first time wearing it! It's OPI Swimsuit...Nailed It! the super rich, dark blue foil from the 2011 Miss Universe collection. It's the only one I picked up from the collection and I'm so glad I got it when I had the chance.

In the bottle alone it glows and is super vibrant. It doesn't lose any of that on the nails! It completely translates, but it's even better, I think. I love that it's dark but it's still a vibrant foil without being too silvery. I was also amazed at how it shined and glowed before top coat (picture below). BTW, it's a tad washed out in my pictures. It's much darker and vibrant in person.

The formula is so amazing! I was aware of its great opacity before using it, but I wanted to see for myself and it so didn't disappoint. It's easily a one coater! If my first coat was a teeny bit thicker, I would have been good, but even so, I had hardly any bald spots. I just used a second to be safe. Application was so easy and it dried fast. It couldn't have been any better. I just hope it won't stain too bad!

 Ugh, sorry about my funky ring finger.

Here it is without topcoat!

I'm so so so happy with this blue! I'm in love. It's a definite keeper. Do not hesitate in getting this one if you see it!

Color Club Lumin-Icent

For my first pick from the Color Club Foiled collection, I chose to wear Lumin-Icent. It's a icy, pale blue. The name definitely fits the cold look of the polish.

I loved how it looked when I was painting it on my nails. It was like they were being dipped in metal and it really did brighten them up. The formula was easy to work with. Foils are typically opaque, so it only took two coats. I also used one coat of the Color Club top coat that came with the set.

It was easy to photograph, so I didn't have to take many pictures but the sunlight wasn't so great. These were taken on the fifth day of wear. The only major chipping was on my index finger, but that was my own fault.

 

 

For me, this polish is a hit. It went on well, it wore well, and the color is beautiful and unique to my stash. I'm excited to swatch the rest from the collection, but they'll have to wait after I get through my Christmas colors. If you don't have many foils, the Foiled collection is a great introduction!
