Color Club POPTASTIC Series: POPTASTIC
Happy Sunday PolishFreaks! I have for you today the last polish from Color Club's Poptastic Collection...Sssooo, last but certainly not least is the second pink in which the collection is named for, POPTASTIC. This is a lighter pink than Warhol but still bright and fun! This one had more of a jelly consistency during application and took about three coats to be fully opaque....
Another gorgeous pink! Overall, I am really in love with this collection and will be rocking ALL these colors for the duration of the summer and into the fall months...There so fun and pretty, I can't stop staring at the colors. I'm going to put a couple summer/fun/beach/cookout looks together for the LookBook series inspired by this collection. :)
Next up China Glaze Vintage Vixen...I'm so excited about this collection!! Can't wait to swatch them this week! ;) Stay tuned...

Color Club POPTASTIC Series: Almost Famous
Next in the series is the yellow of the collection, Almost Famous. Application was pretty smooth, it was slightly streaky at three coats like some of the others, but nothing a third coat couldn't fix...it kinda reminds me of a slightly brighter version of American Apparel's Manila...
Almost Famous
I really like this color, it's bright but it has some warmth to it. It's not your typical fluorescent neon yellow. A little bit more subtle, but it still POPS!

Color Club POPTASTIC Series: Chelsea Girl
Next up is the blue of the collection, Chelsea Girl. It is a pretty shade of bright blue. The formula was slightly watery, but nothing that three coats couldn't perfect!

Color Club Poptastic Series: Twiggie
Hey Polish Freaks, hope you're enjoying you're Saturday, I know I am! This is gonna be a quick post because I'm getting ready to make some moves on this HOT summer day! ...So next up in the Poptastic series is Twiggie, a lovely shade of ripe lime green...the name automatically makes me think of Twiggy, the famous British super model from the 60s. Fun! The formula on this one is pretty nice. It applies opaque in two coats....I'm not very fond of greens, but this one is growing on me. I think I would only wear it to the beach or an amusement park or something like that. This color just evokes fun!

And just for kicks, I found a pick of Twiggy in a similar shade of green...
Ok, maybe not quite, but you get the idea! LOL!

Color Club Poptastic Series: Wham POW!
...And that definitely describes this color!! Wham POW is a bright burnt orange that applies opaque in two coats. This one didn't really dry to a matte coat like the purple did, it was more like Warhol in texture. The formula on this particular one was pretty good. It was somewhere in between Pucci-licious (the purple) and Warhol (the previous pink). I'm not usually an orange girl, but I kinda like this. I think its red/pink undertones give it a warmth that I like. We all know I like 'warm' colors, LOL...but it is definitely a bright one! *puts on shades*
Wham POW!
Perfect for the beach!!

Color Club Poptastic Series: Warhol
Next up in the Poptastic Series is Warhol, one of two pinks in this collection. This is my fav of the two only because I prefer a deeper pink with red undertones like as this one. Such a fun, bright pink! The application of this one was way better than the purple, Pucci-licious. The formula wasn't as thick so it needed three coats to get the full opaqueness that I prefer. It was also more of a creme than the purple. It didn't really dry to a matte finish like Pucci-licious did.
Warhol
Gorgeous, definitely close to the pink in some of Andy Warhol's most famous pics, what do you think??
I love this one it's called 'Ingrid in a Hat'

Color Club 'Poptastic' Series
I had so much fun swatching the newest collection from Color Club, POPTASTIC! I wanted to get sun shots for these, since they are such fun bright colors. Needless to say I was out on my deck swatching in 90 degree weather! LOL, but its all good, I got some good shots and probably sweated out some toxins in the meantime (I was literally soaked when I finished). All the colors were sssooo awesomely vibrant. I don't usually like neons, but I must say I kinda fell in love with these...They don't seem to be as 'fluorescent' as other neon collections, which I actually liked! I just think neons look kinda funny on brown skin, but that's my personal opinion.
This was my first experience with Color Club polishes and they pretty much lived up to my expectations. The formula of these, however, was a little inconsistent throughout the collection, but I think that's the risk with such high pigmented colors. Overall I was pretty satisfied with them and I am glad to have them in my collection. I will definitely be rocking them on my trip to Vegas in August ;) ...So without further ado, here is the first from the collection...
Pucci-licious
Let me just note here, that like most neons, these dry to a matte finish. I was going to do a top coat for each, but it was too damn hot outside for all that! LOL...I really ended up liking them all with the matte finish though. But they'll definitely POP with a glossy top coat of Seche! ;) ...Anyway, this is a beautiful purple with undertones of blue. SUPER pigmented! My only complaint about this one is that it's a little thick and slightly clumpy. So application was a bit of a pain. Make sure you apply a super thin first coat and then build on that one. I ended up doing three coats on this one to take care of the streakiness, but it turned out great. I LOVE it!
