New polish!

I will have a ton of new polishes to swatch after Christmas....yes the hubby took it upon himself to assume that my polish haul from our TX trip was part of my Xmas. Grr... I did manage to sneak away two polishes before he could get them...ok actually he had to ration them out to me like some sort of crack head. Don't judge me..

So here is one that I grabbed on a whim because it looked cute in the bottle and had a scent to it. I usually don't buy polishes without looking up a swatch. I had the hubby breathing down my neck at Sally's so it was a quick grab :)

This is Color Club in Sugar Plum Yum. The smell is very strong after it dries. I can't quite pin my finger on what it is.. it just seems fruity to me. D (the hubby) did not appreciate the smell. Thank goodness the smell fades a bit because trust me, it is strong!

So its a clear polish with purple hexagon shaped glitters and small green (think normal everyday shaped and size) glitter. I never really understood what bloggers meant when they said they didn't paint a glitter but moved it around. That's what you have to do to this one to get it opaque, which is the look I went for. One normal painted coat and then moving around the second and I pretty much got it!

Here's a picture and please excuse the quality as I have lost my camera and had to use the trusty sidekick (IE iPhone). I left two nails with only one coat so you can see what that would be like.

Pretty neat! Now the bad part: of course it's a b^&ch to remove this kind of glitter. With my top coat it stayed pretty well until I was cleaning and washed my hands a million and one times, while doing dishes. And it didn't so much chip as start to peal up at the tip. I was in a rush when I applied it and didn't use my base (bad Kim). That may have helped.


I got this polish at Sally's Beauty supply.
