Color Club Style Icon
Skipping around through brands and collection - today's post is from Color Club's 2012 Fall collection titled In True Fashion. This was a 12 piece collection that was split into 6 cremes and 6 shimmers. This is Style Icon, a blue based red jelly that was a bit vampy on the nail. I used a base coat of Poshe, 2 coats of polish and a top of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.
Here in the sun you can see a bit what I mean about it being a jelly like polish - it looks almost watery on the nail instead of fully opaque.
In the indirect sun you can see the vampy red coming out a bit - it's much lighter than the bottle but still not too jelly.
Finally indoors you can tell that this is light and jelly while still being a bit vampy like corn syrup blood that's too thin. Or not? Either way, I'm not sure I'd purchase this for the sake of owning a red jelly. I would like to test it in a jelly sandwich but I may need to just go with 2 coats tops. Pretty, but not really my cup of tea.

I looked at this one but it did not 'jump' into my shopping basket. I have so many great red creams and no way could I ever even rotate through them ALL in 2 yrs. I never thought I would say this as I have collected reds all my polish lives - but I have enough reds unless there is something that comes alone that blows my mind (a couple did that this past year I will admit). I finally had to start using tough love on my red addiction!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. It's weird to think that 20 years ago, red was pretty much the only color out there! I want to group all my polishes by color one day, just so I can take a picture of it and laugh how many I have.
