OPI Suzi Loves Cowboys

Suzi Loves Cowboys is from OPI's Texas collection that was released in 2011. Cowboys is a gorgeous chocolate brown creme polish. The formula is a bit iffy, being on the watery side - but this is two coats here.

OPI In The Spotlight Pink - Femme de Cirque 2011

Today I have OPI's In The Spotlight Pink from their Femme De Cirque collection 2011. Spotlight is a gorgeous glassy pink polish. This is the one you go for when you want nails that look stunning yet natural. Three thin coats are shown here.

Color Club Back To Boho Collection

This is the darker half of Color Club's Back to Boho collection, released for Fall/Autumn 2011. Boho chic is a cross between bohemian and hippy fashion, in a nutshell. Back To Boho offers you a whole Autumn/Fall nail wardrobe of vintage shades.

Left to right: Speedy Top Coat, Blue-topia, Voodoo You Do, Boho Mojo, Artsy Crafty, Nouveau Vintage and Rebel Spirit.

Boho Mojo

This reminds me of those beautifully designed art nouveau silver mirrors. I am not sure if it is what I was using as a base or not, but Boho Mojo was really watery. This is three thin coats shown here.

Nouveau Vintage

This is one of the most bizarre polishes I have come across! It's brown but green but gold but bronze...all in a sheer maroon base! This really is the image of vintage though, isn't it? It reminds me of old wooden furniture with brass hinges and handles.

Voodoo You Do

A deep gunmetal grey shimmer/frost. To me this gunmetal grey leans a little on the teal or green side of things. I feel like it was pulling my red, yet very subtle lobster tones out.

Artsy Crafty

Artsy Crafty is a great bottle green creme. Such a classy looking nail polish! Mum snagged this one as soon as she sore it! She decided to get rid of OPI Jade is the New Black because she loved this one so much more. Really smooth formula.

Rebel Spirit

When I had first tried this on at night, I thought my dreams had come true! A dark charcoal jelly! But when I tried it again in the day time, it was more of a really dark charcoal chocolate and not so jelly. It is very shiny though! I still like it. Nice smooth formula here too.

Blue-topia

Blue-topia is a very vivid navy. It does dry a lot darker than when first applied. Mum tried it on after me and we couldn't believe we were wearing the same colour! Just a nice rich deep blue navy jelly.

Speedy Top Coat

I cannot express in words how blown away I am by this top coat! But I will try. We've all tried heaps and heaps of top coats and as the days go by you get weary of having to try something new. After trying Essie's assorted embarrassments called top coats, I didn't have high hopes for Speedy. 


But as my manicure dried and the day went on, the mind blowing just got better and better! It dries really quickly, doesn't let any denting happen, no sheet marks the morning you wake up... I'm really pleased with it. I have even chosen it over Seche Vite many times.

New Zealanders can purchase the set here, from USA Nails Online for $34.50!

OPI French Quarter For Your Thoughts

French Quarter For Your Thoughts is from OPI's Touring America collection, it is the bluer toned grey from the collection.

OPI, why a long name? And why do some of the colours in the collection look like this? Like they aren't mixed fully... I've noticed this with Uh-Oh and Roadhouse too.

So with French Quarter being the cooler toned grey, it will look best on people that have more red or pink undertones.


Mum bought it for just this reason. She has been on the search for a mid-grey for such a long time but they always clashed with her skintone. Now she has a new fave! She's even considering a back-up.

The formula is really nice with this polish. Good coverage, only needed two coats.

Overall, I'm really happy with this shade. Very wearable for all year round. 

Color Club Get Your Lem-on

Today we have one of Color Club's polishes from their Wicked Sweet collection, Get Your Lem-on. This collection is scented, quite nicely too.

I'm not one for yellows or neons so I'm going to be as rational as possible in this review. The scent in Get Your Lem-on is really nice. I think it smells like lemonade (my fave fizzy drink). It's a very sweet and delicate lemonade though. I didn't think the scent was as strong as Gimme a Grape Big Kiss or Wicked Sweet. It was much lighter.

Get Your Lem-on's formula was alright. I did find it to be a little on the sheer side. You can still see my tips vaguely and this is three coats. It did however have the typical Color Club formula, very smooth and manageable. 

Lem-on also has a faint shimmer, I can't tell if it's blue or green but it doesn't come out too strongly against the neon yellow base. I was thinking that this polish might actually look really good layered over another neon, I will have to try it!

So after all of that, Get Your Lem-on is a good polish, just not for me :)

Color Club Tattered in Gold

Tattered in Gold is a pale gold crackle. There is silver shimmer mixed in with the gold so it keeps from being too warm or too cool toned. This is my new favourite crackle. 

It dries matte which is a really nice finish with it being packed with foil glitter. I do have a top coat on however.

I'm wearing it over China Glaze Devotion here. The colours don't contrast too much with each other but they are a lethal pair! Each of them is seriously shiny and highly reflective. You don't want to stare at these two together for too long in the sun.

Color Club Gimme a Grape Big Kiss

Gimme a Grape Big Kiss was my favourite out of the three I got to try. It smelled delicious and my boyfriend really liked it too. We thought it smelt like the grape Hubba Bubba bubblegum crossed with the purple Nerds lollies. Nerds are one of my favourite kinds of lollies so I don't mind carrying that smell around with me all day!

Gimme is a super shiny polish. I just loved it. It's so glossy! I kind of want a lipstick this colour. And maybe some shoes this colour.

Depending on your monitor it may look more pink or more purple. On my one a home it looks almost the exact same shade as it is in real life but at my parents, it looks much more pink. So just remember that Gimme is definitely a purple, a fuchsia-purple but most definitely a purple.


Just a reminder that it is my last week for the semester next week so Nail Juice will probably be a little bit quiet, but I have some really exciting shades to show you after I put my A into G and finish my projects! Also mum is heading over to Australia soon, so hello Illamasqua and Make Up Store!

Color Club Wicked Sweet

I thought I'd start this collection off with it's name sake, Wicked Sweet! I also have Gimme a Grape Big Kiss and Raspberry Rush to show you later.

Wicked Sweet really stumped me on what the scent was. My boyfriend and I thought it was a bit blueberry-ish but didn't have a strong enough smell to say for sure that it is blueberry. So we hunted around for what other bloggers thought and they said blueberry or blue raspberry.


Formula wise, it's great. Just the same as Pure Energy, nice thickness and smoothness to it.

But, hello! We've seen you before haven't we? Above is my beloved Pure Energy, the non-scented version of Wicked Sweet. 


With the scent of Wicked Sweet I swear I could taste it when I was just nibbling on my fingertip but then realised it was the finger with Pure Energy on, lol. I don't know what I was tasting...
