In keeping with the theme of releasing all holiday collections months before they are/should be relevant, Color Club has brought out its Christmas or "holiday" (for all the PCer's) collection in October.
After trying them all, luckily it's only my wallet complaining! I have BIG love for this collection. I bought 5/6 because
Snow-Flakes is a Essie Shine of the Times dupe and I already have Nubar 2010. Are you ready for some gorgeous shimmers and a touch of holo glitter?

Berry and Bright is a pink toned red shimmer with orange-ish flakes and purple shimmer. It's so pretty in the sun. I love the added dimension of the flaked shimmer. The formula is tight too, I applied 2 coats but 1 generous coat is amazingly opaque - just like a foil! I can't wait to see how it does as a stamping polish.
Color Club Ho-Ho-Holly

Ho-Ho-Holly is a green with seriously heavy gold shimmer. The green is blue toned but the warm gold shimmer balances it out so it's pretty flattering. The formula is a lot thinner on this one, I used 3 thin coats. HHH reminds me of a cross between Zoya Apple and Ivanka, but more metallic.

Gift of Sparkle is a warm purple glitter. It has a base of purple and red micro glitter with fine silver holo glitter to add a bit of bling. It's got a fairly thick formula and 2 coats covers pretty well although, I did opt for 3 thin coats in these photos. It's a gritty SOB so I used 2 layers of Glitter Tamer.
Color Club Winter Affair

Winter Affair is a beautiful wine with duochrome-ish flake shimmer. The flakey shimmer sparkles either gold, orange or pink depending on the light. Application was great in 2 coats. I have a few polishes like this now and I just can't get enough! Comparison-wise, it's a bit sparklier and more pink than Nicole for OPI Shoot For The Maroon.
Color Club Glitter Wonderland

Glitter Wonderland (seriously? there isn't any glitter in it Color Club!) is a warm purple shimmer- the base is really pink and it shows through in the photos. I didn't manage to get any photos of GW alone in daylight, but they're colour accurate. There is pink and blue micro shimmer in this one that is really obvious and so pretty! The formula was slightly thin on this one too, so I used 3 thin coats for full coverage.
I tried my hand at a little glitter gradient sponging with My Nail Graffiti's
Five Golden Rings over Glitter Wonderland.

I learned a valuable lesson, sponge in good light and from base to tip - I was holding the sponge the wrong way round so I couldn't see what I was doing, as I was doing it... If that makes sense? The result was some crazy unevenness but it looked cool all the same. God I love the mix of gold glitters in FGR!!
The Color Club Winter Affair Collection is available now online at
Head2Toe Beauty for $3.10 per 15mL.
