Three from Color Club Rebel Debutante


These pics are particularly poor. *shrug* What can I say?


So, I haven't been disappointed with any of the polishes from this collection so far. I bought the 7pc set, which of course didn't have the green or blue colors. Oh well. I wanted the neutrals more than more bright crazy colors (I have SO many of those already) anyway. These wear exceptionally well, apply nicely, yada yada.

Best Dressed List

Grainy full sun pic. It shows the color nicely though. I really think this might be super close to Chanel Khaki Rose. I do not have it to compare though. This color is like Ovaltine. Or chocolate milk with 3 drops of strawberry syrup added. It worked really well with my skin tone.


Charity Ball


This is at night under CFLs in my poorly lit kitchen. Doesn't do it justice at all. What I like about Charity Ball is that it is a ruddy brown. Other pics I've seen show it as a murky dark red, but on me it pulls more brown, and it looks REAL good.

Who Are You Wearing?

Wow. This looks kind of gross, doesn't it? I took this pic after several days of wear, and I had been picking at that middle finger. Ooops. I couldn't get an even remotely accurate color representation on this one, so I started experimenting with different colored backgrounds. The orange did the trick (that's my pimped out Kitchen Aid. Awww yeah). Who Are You Wearing? pulled really lavender on me. I didn't love it on me, but I have no complaints about application or wear.

My first Ruffian manicure

I did an *ok* job ... Base was Maybelline Gray-T Glamour, the purple is Color Club Ms. Socialite from the Rebel Debutante collection.

Inside, low light. I had a REALLY hard time getting a clear shot. My picture taking skills are like, degenerative or something. >:(




Sun!






I would have worn this for a whole week, except it chipped BAD on day 2. :'( I cry.

So, it's super difficult to get this right, and although I really like the look, it's way too much work. LOL!

Zoya Loredana = FAIL for me, plus a giveaway!

Sooo ... I have had this since Christmas, and just got around to try it. I was super excited because I love gunmetal colors. I must have done something terribly wrong because, LOOK!!





The thumb nail was salvageable for a pic, but here's what the rest of my nails looked like when I pulled them out of my rubber gloves (what can I say, I had dishes to do!) after TWO HOURS of dry time. WHAT THE .... ?!?!? #&^%^@





I admit that I was in a hurry when I painted, and *may* have laid it on a bit thick to avoid application issues, but damn! It was a mess. I'll have to try this again when I have a ton of time because I really like the look of it.


Also, check out this sweet giveaway!

Concrete and Nailpolish is having their first follower giveaway, so head on over and enter! I LOVE that bag. Too cute. The rest of the prize is pretty nifty too!
