Color Club Winter Affair Holiday 2012 Collection Swatches & Review (part 1)
I'm back! I apologize for the lack of posts during my absence. I planned to schedule some posts, but time got away from me. Anyway, I have some gorgeous polishes to show you.

Color Club Glitter Wonderland is a lovely warm purple packed with blue and red microglitter. Because the glitter is so abundant, it overtakes the warm base, which is why it looks so cool in my photos. Imagine this a bit warmer.

Color Club Winter Affair is a deep wine colored flecked shimmer. It's vampy without looking black in dim lighting. There's a gorgeous depth to this that I just love.
Color Club also did their first (to my knowledge) non-mylar flakie. It's nothing we haven't seen before, though.

Color Club Snow-Flakes is a red to orange to green flakie. Pretty, but it's just another duplicate of Hidden Treasure, Shine of the Times, 2010, Flashy, etc. The only difference is probably density. Hopefully we'll see more unique flakies from Color Club soon.
The formula on these was thick but manageable. Glitter Wonderland was slightly finnicky because the microglitter clumped up a bit. Waiting a minute or some in between coats worked for me.
We're probably all just waiting for the Halo Hues collection, but the Winter Affair collection holds its own with some gorgeous polishes. Definitely worth checking out.

Very pretty polishes and swatches :)
ReplyDeleteLOVING Winter Affair. I have Hidden Treasure, 2010, and even an Essence polish just like that. I need to quit buying those flakies lol.
ReplyDeleteWinter Wonderland and Winter Affair are gorgeous! I think I'm going to need both when I see them for myself. Snow-Flakes is pretty too, but you're right, nothing we haven't seen before. Still, I might get it because I need a flakie like it since I never bought Essie Shine of the Times.
ReplyDeleteWinter Affair is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have my fav back! I like Glitter Wonderland, but I can't help but think that I have something similar.
ReplyDelete<3! I feel the same way. It looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm going to dig through my stash this weekend and see what I come up with,.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I love it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a great replacement for SoTT now that that's discontinued. Plus, it's cheaper! :)
ReplyDeleteLol, don't we all? I'm love how abundant these are now. We were in a flakie drought for far too long. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking OPI Grape Set Match.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I only own a couple Color Club shades because there aren't any in-person places to buy them from around here. I like all of these shades; even the flakie which aren't my thing! But obviously Winter Affair is absolutely gorg!
ReplyDeleteI love them all!
ReplyDeleteWinter Affair is reminding me of Orly Rococo-a-Go-Go, I wonder how they compare? Thanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me a lot of my Essie sexy divide. When I get it in a couple weeks I will compare!
