Color Club Foiled Collection Swatches

I picked up the Color Club Foiled collection from Ross the other day. I never thought I liked foils until now! All the colors in this collection have a glitter/foil sort of finish. They're very metallic, which is part of being a foil, but if you look up close there is tiny metallic microglitter. Each color has particles of silver and particles of the base color. All swatches are two coats


Cold Metal - Rich royal blue foil. I actually like this and I'm so not a blue person.


Lumin-iceient - Light cloudy blue foil.


Antiquated - Champagne gold foil


Hot Like Lava - Hot pink foil


Foil Me Once - Light dusty pink with a touch of lavender foil


Perfect Mol-ten - Bright light green foil, really pigmented but a little more silver at the same time.

I really never thought I liked foils until now...honest lol. The wear seems to be average (a couple days), and the application was great. I thought it would be streaky when I was applying it, but looking at my nails now you can't see a single imperfection.
And by the way this was my first collection swatch. I have never before put polish on JUST to photograph it. What an interesting feeling lol...

Have these? Love them? Want them?

Zoya Tiffany

This was my most coveted Zoya polish and I'm glad to finally have it after the long shipping time due to the promotion. I picked up this bottle after unwrapping it and my boyfriend looked oddly at me when I swooned "oh Tiffany!" She is very bottle accurate and more opaque than she seems at first, looks in the bottle, or looks on the spoons. Two coats did me just fine.

Isn't she just gorgeous? Yes I call Zoya's she's lol. Almost all of their polishes are named a woman's name, which I think is great. My name, Megan, is a french manicure pink. I might just need to get it :P.
The formula was good for this polish, just a little odd. I thought at first that it was a bit streaky and was almost chunky...But really as I was applying it and noticed a bit of a bald spot, I applied a bit more to the brush, tapped it to my fingernail, and it filled in like magic. It ended up just fine. The peach/pink/copper polish is packed with microglitter in silver, gold, pink, and peach. It leaves you with a really interesting and feminine foilish finish. It really is gorgeous and I can't stop looking at it.
