Color Club Ho-Ho-Holly - swatches and review

Second out from the Color Club Winter Affair Collection 2012 is Ho-Ho-Holly! I think I'll do this week to the Winter Affair week and show you the whole collection! How does that sound? ;)

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Shimmer (almost foil).

Colour: A dark green base (almost jelly like) packed with so much gold shimmer that it looks like a warm glowing metallic green. :D

Collection: Color Club Winter Affair Holiday Collection 2012.

Opacity: Good! This is two coats. If you do very thin coats you might need a third coat. I did two fairly thick coats and it's completely opaque. :)

Drying time: Normal.

Formula: Hmmm... A bit tricky I'm afraid... At least for the first coat. The formula is rather thin and I had to apply the first coat with very light strokes and lots of polish on the brush in order to avoid bald spots... Second coat applied much better.

Brush: Ok! Quite thin but ok. Strange really, because "Berry and Bright" from the same collection had a much wider brush... :/

Shine: Shiny on its own, but I have one coat of Seche Vite in these pictures.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Quite accurate. Best picture is the daylight picture. The others are a tiny bit too dark green looking. You can see the gold shimmer much more IRL and it's more sparkly and glittery IRL too!

Grade
: 4+++/5 :)

This is an awsome green polish packed with so much gold shimmer that the bottle almost explodes! ;) I really like it even though the formula could have been better. This polish gives me a christmas feeling even though you can use it all year around :)

What do you think?
Does this polish make your heart beat a little faster?
Do you get that x-mas feeling too? ;)

    1. For example you can get it at transdesign.com or head2toebeauty.com
      They both ship internationally and I've bought polishes from them several times.
