Color Club Perfect Mol-ten and Antiquated

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a good week so far!
Today I've got two polishes to show you, Color Club Perfect Mol-ten and Antiquated. Both of these are from the Fall 2011 Foiled collection. To be honest, I didn't really like these at first. I actually had them in my swap box but now I'm glad that no one took them! I guess my tastes in polish really have changed over time. I've found that I'm not that crazy about holographic polishes anymore. Maybe part of that has to do with how many of them are on the market nowadays so they don't seem as special anymore. Maybe it's because I hate applying aqua base. Who knows.

My next post should have some Polish Revolution spam and then after that, I'll start swatching my new Hare polishes! Woo!

Both of these are shown with two coats. Application was great. I didn't even have to do any cleanup with them. Dry time was fast. I imagine these would be really great for stamping too.

Essie Geranium

I feel like I can breathe again! I've gotten all of my papers and major projects finished for this semester and now the only big things I have left are my exams in December. That means I have time to paint my nails again! In the past three weeks I've only changed my polish 3 times. My nails have looked so sad and chipped.
Once I finish this post, I'm going to go paint them something fun! I've got some polishes from Polish Revolution that I need to swatch and take pictures of. They've been sitting on my desk since Friday and I can't wait to try them out!

Today I'll be showing you Essie Geranium. I think this was the first red polish that I purchased. It's not a true red, it leans slightly orange (although my picture makes it look a bit more orange than it really is) and that's why I love it so much. I'm not really someone who wears red polishes but I was drawn to this one when I saw it. Even better is that it is slightly jelly.

Shown is two coats. Application was fantastic. Dry time was normal.

Barry M Indigo

Sorry, it's been a while. Sorry I'm always saying sorry. School has been really busy this semester. I'm typing out this blog post in order to procrastinate a little bit more on my paper that's due tomorrow. I've still got to write 5 more pages. Ugh. Only 30 more days until winter break. 

Here's Barry M Indigo. This is fairly color accurate, although I don't think any picture will ever capture it perfectly. This is a really gorgeous blurple color. I used two coats for opacity. Dry time was normal.

Verity Deep Violet

I wanted to re-swatch this since I didn't like my other pictures of it. Verity Deep Violet is one of my favorite polishes in my whole collection. It's the best jelly polish that I own and it makes everything look magical. It's perfect by itself too. I could talk all day about my love for this polish but instead I'll just show you some pictures.
Shown is three coats. I didn't have any problems with application. I would suggest doing slightly thicker coats so that you don't have any streaking. Dry time is a little bit longer than a normal polish but I always wear a quick dry top coat so that's not really an issue.
Verity can be a hard brand to find since it's not sold in most stores. If you're lucky, a salon/beauty store close to you might sell this brand but I bought my bottle from Amazon since I can't find it locally.
