Color Club Twiggie

A
At first when I saw that Twiggie was described as a mint green I thought it was a little odd to have a pastel in a neon collection. Surprisingly once applied it's sort of a pastel-neon if that makes any sense. 

Twiggie definitely isn't as bright as those lovely green highlighters from high school but also isn't quite as pale as MAC's Peppermint Patti. I think it would actually be closer to Orly's Mint Mojito. 

Twiggie gives good coverage, only two coats needed. This polish is a cream finish so you don't need a ridge filler to bring out the neon some more or to even it out as the formula is a little thick.

Although it is a slightly thick formula it is quite streaky on coat number one. Even using a ridge filler I still got streaks.

Color Club Warhol

















Now this is a neon pink I can wear!

I loved wearing this one, love at first sight, even if it was only on one nail. A squishy jelly finish with only two coats necessary. I just had fun wearing Warhol, brightened up my day every time I caught a glimpse of it.

I can see Warhol being a popular choice for nails in Spring and Summer. Wouldn't it look so cute on your toes with your pretty sandals or jandals?















Once again my poor camera has let me down, Warhol has a little more of a redness to it, more fuchsia looking. It's kind of like OPI's Fuchsia Fling and Zoya's Morgan but with a punch!

Color Club Poptastic


Poptastic was actually my least favourite. I don't know what it is about neon pinks that I just can't bring myself to love them. Maybe because of the overuse of the pink highlighters in my school years?
Aside from that, Poptastic applies really easily and dries fairly quickly.

It does dry slightly matte so make sure you wear a top coat with Pop.















Not too much to say about Poptastic, a lot of other brands have made their own neon pinks so it's not too much of a unique colour. Poptastic isn't a bad polish, just not my fave :)

Color Club Chelsea Girl

















Chelsea Girl is quite scary at first. By that I mean on your first coat it's almost like you're applying water! But then somehow coat number two seems to make it all better. But then in saying that, you do get a cool jelly look going on. 

Chelsea Girl reminds me of the water slides we make down the hill at my parents house... 

















My photos make this polish look a little lighter than it really is. I'd say it has a tad more navy in it, and of course it looks more squishy in real life. Dumb camera.

Color Club Wham! Pow!
















Wham! Pow! is right! Jeepers!

I think I will have a lot of fun wearing this shade over the next few warmer months. It's just such a cool colour, isn't it? It's like you melted down a road cone and painted your nails with it. Love it.

Because Wham Pow is so amazingly bright, my camera couldn't quite capture it properly. But just think highlighters and road cones. It's not quite as 'juicy' looking as it is in my photos.

















You only need two coats I think. You do get a bit of a jellyish thing going on here though with Wham Pow. So perhaps add a white polish or white/nude based ridge filler if you aren't a fan of that.

Color Club Almost Famous


Looks timid in the bottle compared to some of the others, but once on the nail... You've got yourself a beautiful buttery yellow.

The first time I tried Almost Famous, I wasn't too fond of it because it seemed like it was going to take a never ending amount of coats to get it looking nice... But this morning when I was taking my time swatching, it applied so much nicer. I only needed two coats for complete coverage.
Definitely don't rush this one along, otherwise you'll get nowhere.

Usually I don't really go for yellows because they're usually a pain to apply and make my hands look red, but I think I could break this one out a few times during Spring :)

















Almost Famous is definitely not a pastel or a neon, but it is certainly not for the shy! I wonder what my Nana would think the next time I showed up to do her nails with Almost Famous?

Color Club Pucci-licious














I was most excited to try Pucci  out of the set. It is quite a unique colour even though it seems like a basic one. It does remind me of a purple BYS polish I had sometime ago though and never wore it because it smelt awful... So Pucci makes a good replacement :D

The colour shown in my photo here I feel is definitely not purple enough, well warm enough. I was using my sisters camera for this shot so when I get back I'll give my camera a go :)
Pucci-licious was a bit streaky on the first coat but I don't think that you need a ridge filler to help because it is a slightly thicker formula, so it evens itself out on coat number 2. I reckon you only need 2 coats to get full coverage.

Pucci-licious is a cream like Twiggie and Almost Famous, so you don't get that squishy jelly look like the others.
