Swatch - athon: Colour Club; Alter Ego Collection, Keep it Undercover Set

For Spring 2011, Colour Club had created a 12 piece collection called Alter Ego. Colour Club separated this collection into two of their famous 7 polish sets, each with a treatment. The Alter Ego collection was separated into what appears to be "the purples + shimmer".

In this case, this set, "Keep it undercover" come with a Vivid Topcoat and is packed with what I would call "the more interesting and unique shades of the collection".

Take a look at the swatches for yourself!

Swatch - athon: Colour Club; Untamed Luxury Collection, Indulgence Set

In 2010, Colour Club had created a 14 piece collection called The Untamed Luxury for their fall collection. Colour Club separated their Untamed Luxury Collection into two of their famous 7 polish sets and this one is called "Indulgence" and it consists of the creams and neutrals of the collection.

Untamed Luxury contained a glitter topcoat called Covered in Diamonds which is a part of the other set, Diamonds but I have used it with this set too. I think it looks a lot better on top of these polishes anyways because there isn't all those distractions of the glitters to prevent Covered in Diamonds from standing out.

Swatch - athon: Colour Club; Untamed Luxury Collection, Diamonds Set

For Fall 2010, Colour Club had created a 14 piece collection called The Untamed Luxury. Colour Club separated their Untamed Luxury Collection into two of their famous 7 polish sets and this one is called "Diamonds" as it is jam packed with glitters and shimmers.

Actually the last polish of this set is a glitter topcoat, Covered in Diamonds, so I will be showing what that looks like on all of The Untamed Luxury polishes including the other ones from Indulgence set which contains the more neutral colours.

Swatch - athon: Zoya; Matte Velvet Collection [ 4 ]

As I have mentioned in this post, Zoya is really only easily accessible in the states so when the e-store Nailde Royale popped up, I jumped straight on and purchased a rather large haul. 

That was a week before I found out that Zoya was planning to discontinue all polishes which did not already have a spoon. These Matte Velvets ended up being a part of the haul for that reason... actually I ordered 5 but my package ended up in Thailand on holiday for a whole 2 months before arriving here and by then the 5th one, Harlow, which they no longer stock was shattered and dried.

For those who don't know, and I didn't know this until about a few months ago, but the finish "Velvet Matte" is also more commonly known as "Suede" and is described as a polish that has loads of shimmer in it but in the form of matte. Honestly, if I haven't had found out.. I would have just called it plain matte without knowing the difference! Anyways, here are the swatches.
