Glitter Comparison: SpitFire vs. Magic Attraction

Hello my loves! Today I have a massive glitter post for you today. You know, I purchased Pure Ice SpitFire on a whim thinking that it could be a close or exact dupe for OPI Teenage Dream. Since I dont have the two I cant compare them for you. But while I was looking through my stash I came upon Color Club's Magic Attraction and immediately felt curious to know how they would look next to each other. I even felt a bit upset because I felt like it was further from Teenage Dream than I originally expected. I still dont know how sold I am on it as a dupe but I am happy with a pink scattered holographic glitter polish....so yeah! But anyway heres my comparison.

Index and Ring: Color Club Magic Attraction
Middle and Pinky: Pure Ice Spitfire




So as you can see they are very close but definitely not dupes. Magic Attraction is a more densely packed glitter in a clear base with some holographic shimmer in it. Spitfire is a more sparsely placed holographic glitter in pinkish/clear base. These pictures are 2 coats Magic Attraction vs. 2 coats Spitfire. With Spitfire I still had some VNL going on but with Magic Attraction the opacity built up very well. The formula on Spitfire was a bit less attractive than Magic Attraction because it was on the thicker side. Magic Attraction slides on nicely. But the bigger sized glitter pieces in Spitfire win me over completely. Although they are close I dont mind having them both in my collection because I know I will get use out of both of them. So thats always great.

Oh yeah, and I bought this totally cool ring the other and I'm just dying to show it to you guys. Woot...Woot!

How awesome is my snake ring. Ha ha. Love it. I purchased this from Muse for 4.75 JD's just in case your wondering. So yeah thats my post for today. Talk to you soon and have a great day!

Color Club: The Holographic Edition

Hey girly girls! So I've really been feeling in the mood for collages. I dont know why lol! Anyway and I was looking through my stash today and felt like I didn't do some of my Color Club holographic polishes justice before when I pictured them. I decided I would give it another try and hopefully this will do it. This post will mostly be pictures... Yaay for pictures!!




Color Club Wild at Heart from the 2009 Wild at Heart Collection. Amazing deep purple linear holographic polish. Holographic-ness alot stronger in real life than pictures!




Color Club Worth The Risque from their Femme Fatale Spring 2009 Collection. Silver Linear Holographic...way more amazing in person!



Color Club Fashion Addict from their Catwalk Queen Collection. A lavender linear holographic polish although lacking in holographic-ness and doesn't look better than this in real life. This is I think the least holographic polish out of all of them. Still beautiful though its extremely dull inside.



Color Club Revvvolution also from the Femme Fatale Collection. A dark charcoal based black linear holographic polish that shines soooo much more holographic in real life.!

All in all these polishes are a definite staple in my collection. I'm glad that I found them all because I would much rather have these strong holographic polishes than spend 17-20$ on some other polishes like Layla which might have slightly more holo-ness to them. Nah, I'm satisfied with these.
Anywho, I hope you've enjoyed these as much as I have... Love, love!

Color Club Revvvolution

Hey, Hey, Hey! Whats happening you guys? I really wanted to post this yesterday but my internet was playing games. Very uncomfortable. So anyway I want to show you Color Club Revvvolution. Look at this beauty!

Color Club Revvvolution




I'm gonna be honest, this is the amount of holographic-ness I was dying to find in the other color club holo nail polishes. I almost fainted when I saw that the holo in this color was not only immensely strong but captures on my weak little camera; bless its little soul. Revvvolution is a dark charcoal greyish black linear holographic nail polish. This color really lives up to the more expensive nail polish brands with the strong linear holographic polishes because your only paying 5 JD's for it (in Jordan). Love it, Love it, Love it. Get it if you can and you will not regret it. Although I have heard some comments that there are two versions of this polish, I would just say go to a very brightly lit area in the store and see what happens to the polish...if it becomes sparkly and bursts with color its holographic and if not then it wasn't meant to be. This has actually happened to me with Color Club Worth the Risque where there were two versions; one holographic one and one that just didn't sparkle. Anyway thats all for today!

Wild at Heart

Hey everyone! Hows it been? I've been away for so long and I hate it so I'm gonna show you a color I purchased a little while ago that I adore. Color Club Wild at Heart. I know you can find this practically everywhere on the web but I still want to show you mine. Right now I'm in the process of purchasing a lot of nail polishes since my brother are coming visit so they can bring it with them...Score! And although I dont have the biggest nail polish collection I hate it when I find colors that are close to mine. Any suggestions on something I just have to try? Anyway heres Wild at Heart.







Color Club Wild at Heart is a deep purple holographic polish. It is so holographic but my camera isn't good at capturing polishes like this. The third pictures is the closest at how it really is even though its a tad bit more in person. I absolutely adore this color and I'm so happy I found it. Because its so saturated you can easily use it to stamp designs and you'll still get that soft holo-y look. I definitely recommend!

Holographic French Nail Design

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a fun and relaxing weekend. I've been quite busy recently and a persistent migraine has really been keeping me away from posting. Hopefully, that will all get better soon. Anyway, for the nails I've been really into the french nail design mostly because its been boiling hot here the last couple of days and french nails are clean and fresh. Check it out.

Holographic French Nail Design




I know that it doesn't seem very holo-y but believe me it was so holographic its insane. I actually didn't expect it to be so much so. A delightful surprise! I used Flormar Nail Enamel in 397 as my base. Its a very natural pink French nail color. Definitely a new fave. Then I did the v-shaped design with Color Club Fashion Addict. And finally I added the silver stripes with La Girl Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer in Silver Glitter and added some topcoat. Great design and totally loving it. Have a great weekend!

Gradient Zebra Nails

Hey everyone! Today I will be showng you my entry for rebecca's contest from rebeccalikesnails. It has a fun theme and so I decided to just go with it and do something fun. I chose a holographic base (Color Club Fashion Addict) then I did some sponging on the tips with Color Club Magic Attraction. And finally I stamped on it with Color Club Wild at Heart. Notice I used all Color club and all pretty much holographic polishes. I did this because I am in love with the holo on holo effect. But be warned my pictures dont show the holographic-ness. Actually it really didn't come up in real life either sooo.. I dunno! But still it came out amazing...If I do say so myself!

Gradient Zebra Mani




Awesome, right? Hahaha...it was alot of fun to do and I love how stamping is so easy and saves time on doing your nails. Can I get a thumbs up for stamping! Wish me Luck.

Color Club Fashion Addict and Magic Attraction Gradient

Hello everyone! How are you doing today? I feel like I should share with you whats been going on recently. I haven't been in a very good mood recently for many reasons...and so I haven't really been thinking about nail polish and designs. To top it all off the weather has been crap for the past two days. Raining and just nastiness all together. So I decided I would try to make a lightbox so I wouldn't be tied that much to the weather. Needless to say it really didn't come out the way I wanted it to. It was super hard to do and after two boxes I realized what I did would have to suffice. I put it in the brighest room in my house (which was the guest bathroom) and decided I would give it a go. It actually was pretty good. Joy of Joys! Then I pressed something on my camera and the lights went wack. WHY? Now I cant get my camera out of that mode. So I'm pretty pissed off at it right now but still I took some pictures of the mani I did and thats what I'm gonna share with you today.

Color Club Fashion Addict and Magic Attraction Gradient



Awful! But the manicure was gorgeous. Obviously Fashion Addict is more lavender than gray. But you get the idea. Btw, this is part of my design for rebecca's contest which I'll post up tomorrow maybe. I'm really upset with my camera and I dont know what to do. Oh well. Anyway, thats all for today!

Holographic Geometric Stamping

Hey everyone! Hows it going? Today I have a funky and fun manicure to show you. My nails are getting a bit longer and I cant express how relieved I am to know that they really are growing back. Haha. Anyway, I used Color Club's Worth the Risque as my base color and stamped on it with Konad Plate m64. On my ring finger I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out and then stamped on it with Worth the Risque. It was nighttime and I took these pictures indoor so that explains the lack of amazing holographic-ness.

Holographic Geometric Stamping





I have so many stamp image plates that I haven't even used yet. What a shame. You know we have a saying in Arabic that goes something like "A carpenter's door is always broken". Basically it means that you would expect someone addicted to polish to always have their nails done or always use up their polish/accessories...etc. But you'd be surprised. Most days I dont even have my nails done...so yeah I guess the saying is right lol. Have a great day!

Sparkly Holographic Pretties with Fashion Addict

Hey everyone! I want to welcome all the new members to my blog! And today I have a pretty pretty nail polish to show you... It's Color Club's Fashion Addict. Now, I did swatch Worth the Risque which is a silver holographic in my first post so if your interested in that just check it out here I really love how this polish came out...its super adorable and softens features.


Color Club Fashion Addict



Alright now this is my honest review of it. I didn't see holograph per se, but its filled with tiny speckle like holographic sparkles which gives the sparkliest shine in the sun...it's breathtaking. It really reminds me of the movie Twilight when Edward goes out into the sun and reveals his chest of sparkling diamonds and takes Bella's breath away...Yeah you know what I mean! Btw, its not like I'm some crazy Twilight maniac but I'm pretty sure everyone and their mama has seen the movie so the comparision seems acceptable. Also, this is a lilac-y grey color. Inside my house it felt grey...with a shimmer of lilac. Obviously in the sun it's a lilac purple.

So there you have it. Color Club's Fashion Addict. I love it and I'm gonna wear it when I wanna feel pretty because it really is a feel good color! Have a great day!

First Official Post



Hey everyone and welcome to my blog! So this is my very first post...yay! And although i dont have all the different nail polish brands in the world nor the biggest bank account to buy all different nail polish brands, this is my little slice of the nail polish world and i happen to like it, hehe. I know that my first post should be something uber special, but i decided to start off humble. Actually this is just a nail polish that i recently found and immediately fell in love with. I've been looking for a very long time to find some holographic nail polish and although Jordan doesn't have the biggest collection around, i did manage to find this one so I am a very grateful shopper!  

So this is Color Club's Worth the Risque. The pictures unfortunately do not do it justice which is such a shame. The thing about this color is that in some lights it looks actually very boring...and then in some other lights its like waaaam! a splash of rainbow.
Color Club Worth the Risque
So that's directly by the light and it kinda gives an idea of the holo effect. But honestly, its not the same in real life, i catch myself constantly staring at it. It's beautiful.

Dont mind my cuticles, please! So anyway, this is what i wanted to share with you guys...I love it. I know that there are probably some nail polishes out there that have a stronger effect possibly, but this is good enough for me.
Thanks for stopping by!
