Color Club Yum Gum



Today I have Color Club's Yum Gum to show you! Yum Gum is from the scented Wicked Sweet collection released earlier this year.




As you can guess, Yum Gum smells like bubblegum. My Dad is an avid gum-chewer so while wearing this polish it made it feel like my Dad was around. It was quite a nice feeling I suppose, a little freaky though when I was out shopping. 




This was two coats. The formula was a little bit on the thick side, but it gave quite good coverage and it balances itself out.

OPI Uh-oh Roll Down The Window



Today I have OPI's Uh-Oh Roll Down The Window to show you! The name has caused a little controversy. Many believe that the name is in relation to a story similar to my Dad farting in the car and having the urgent need to roll down a window. But I think it is supposed to be about when you've been speeding or driving a dunga of a car down the motorway and a friendly policeman wants to pull you over.


I was so infatuated with it, I ordered it without even realising it was the shade that people were up and arms about over the name. I didn't even know it's name until it came time to import my photos and name them. 




I really love this shade. It seems like it came out of nowhere. A somewhat hard colour to come across but then all of a sudden, BAM, every (major) company releases one for Fall/Winter.




I think Uh-Oh is a great color for Autumn, Winter and Spring. Maybe Summer, but it doesn't seem bold enough. 




The formula was A+, nice coverage, smooth and creamy. The bottle does have that weird unmixed look to it, like French Quarter for Your Thoughts  and Roadhouse Blues.

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.
