Color Club Silver Lake and Williamsburg Reviews & Swatches

Hi there! I'm off to a late start today, but I have 3 posts planned for today, hopefully no one minds that. ;) I'll be spacing them out a bit, as to not overload anyone. :P First up we have 2 newer colors from Club Club! 

Press Sample

Silver Lake is a pale gray creme. All nails are 2 coats with no top coat.

Formula of Silver Lake was much better than I expected! It was an easy 2 coats to provide even coverage and a shiny finish. The color is a lovely light shade of gray that is a must have for any collection. :)

Williamsburg is described as a shimmering shade of navy. Shown is 2 coats with top coat.

This polish is one of those colors than in low light appears almost black, but in the sunlight comes out to play! The formula was again easy to work with and gave me no problems. I love the name of this polish because I remember many family trips to Williamsburg when I was younger. :)

Find these polishes and others from Color Club polishes online through ShopColorClub.com or in store at select Bed, Bath & Beyond stores. Follow Color Club on Facebook, Twitter,  Pinterest and YouTube.

Lynnderella Berry Much in Love, Elf Assured, Mrs. Shaperson, Mercurial & So Long Longing

Happy Labor day any readers in states! :) I thought it would be fun this week to try to do a Lynnderella post every day leading up to Atlcatsmeow's birthday! :) We both share a love for Lynnderella lacquers, so I'm giving it a go starting today! ;)

Berry Much in Love has assorted shades of red and pink glitters accented with yellow seeds as well as green stars all in a translucent strawberry-juice base. Here is 1 coat of Berry Much in Love over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Silver Screen.

 This polish looks just like some yummy strawberries! I chose to layer it over a lighter color, so you could really see all the glitter pop. I think it would look amazing over or between a jelly polish too, to give it that all over squishy vibe. :P

Elf Assured has black, white, pink and almost-neon red matte glitters with metallic and holographic aqua in a white-shimmer base.  All nails are 1 coat over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Fade Out.

 I'm a firm believer that polishes are never just for one season of the year. ;) And this is no exception! I personally think Elf Assured doesn't have too "elfy" of a vibe and looks great even in September. :)

Mrs. Shaperson contains tons of fun glitter shapes including skulls, clubs, hearts, stars, diamonds, dots, flowers, squares, bars, rectangles and hexagons. Shown is 2 coats over 2 coats of Color Club Silver Lake.

Ahhh skulls and club?! How awesome is that! :D I won't lie though, when I first saw the skulls, I thought they were 4 legged octopi. Hehe :P Hey I'm sure there are in fact 4 legged octopi somewhere out there. ;) 

Mercurial has multiple sizes and shades of gunmetal, black, lavender and silver hexes and squares in a metallic grey base. In these photos I used 1 coat of Mercurial over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Starlet.

 Maybe it's me (it probably is don't worry ;) ), but I never noticed the lavender hexes in this polish before! >_< I've looked at my bottle and seen other's swatches and I don't know for whatever reason it never clicked in my mind they were there.  They were a nice surprise when I put it on though! The larger hex glitters are always fabulous too. ;)

So Long Longing contains brilliant blue-violet glitters accented with neons and holographic dots in a translucent pink-shimmered blue base. All nails are 1 coat over 3 coats of Salon Perfect Leading Lady. 

I wish my camera would caught the "glow" this manicure gave off :( because it was awesome! Nevertheless, this polish is stunning in person and a must have! ;)

Iridescent/Opalescent Glitter Comparison

Sorry for not posting yesterday. >_< Yesterday was just craziness happening throughout the day and I didn't have time to swatch. One thing that did happen was, yet again, my computer's hard drive has decided to throw a fit so I am using my husband's computer. If you notice the pictures look a little differently than normal that's the reason.

Ok so on to the post for today! I have a pretty huge comparison post for you all that came about after I picked up 2 different versions of Color Club Snow-Flakes around December. I certainly don't have all the iridescent/opalescent polishes on the market, but have picked up quite a few over the last few months.

All swatches in this post are 1 coat of the iridescent polish over 2 coats of Wet n Wild Ebony Hate Chris with top coat.

First up we have Color Club Snow-Flakes (glitter version) vs. Color Club Snow-Flakes (flakie version), Hard Candy Break Up and. Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat.

Regarding the 2 versions of Color Club Snow-Flake, the flakie version I purchased at Sally's and the glitter version I purchased at TJ Maxx in a duo labeled "Winter Affair" with Gift of Sparkle. I'm not sure if the true name of the glitter version is Snow-Flakes. I have seen talk that it is Color Club Starry Temptress, but Starry Temptress appears very different in pictures I have looked up. The flakie version is a dupe for many other flakies like it, see Polish Insomniac's post here for comparison photos.

Here is Sally Hansen Rock Candy vs. Color Club Starry vs. Sally Hansen Disco Ball vs. Sally Girl So Disco (812030).

These photos are Sally Hansen Snow Globe vs. KleanColor Sugar Coat vs. China Glaze Make a Spectacle and China Glaze Luxe and Lush.

Lastly I have China Glaze Snow Globe vs Charlotte Russe Crystal AB and Revlon Heavenly vs. Deborah Lippmann Stairway to Heaven

Some of these polishes featured are discontinued and no long found in stores. :( Sorry! But I recommend looking on Amazon, eBay or blog sales to find the ones that are discontinued.

Which iridescent/opalescent glitter is your favorite?
