Swatch - athon: Colour Club Mini Pack in Mighty Brights

These set of mini polishes have been in my collection since around June of this year during a massive haul to keep me motivated with my studies. They were an impulse purchase... but who wouldn't want to spend $1 on something that is usually priced for $16+ and not to mention, rarely sighted.

This mini set composes of 4 bottles of 7mL (0.25Oz) of polish from the Flower Power Collection which consists of neon shades. The mini set, Mighty Brights, was released with the four best selling neons from the collection.

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.

Swatch - athon: Zoya; Sunshine Collection

As far as I know, Zoya is only easily accessible in the states so all those lemmings I had for Zoya were very far out of my reach. There were just so many I wanted to try and just watching all the american bloggers around me with those polishes... had made me.. well.. very jealous. A few months ago, I was contacted by a new e-store called Nailde Royale who wanted me to place their ad on my blog and review products for them HOWEVER being a person with low self-confident especially with her work, I rejected their offer... errr, not a first.. hahaha.

Still intrigued, I secretly browsed through their website and found that they sold many brands that were not available internationally.... the biggest one that caught my eye was Zoya. This was the first international e-store that stocked Zoya. They sold past collections with some that have been discontinued and the best part was... the prices weren't skyrocketed, in fact, some were cheaper than what Zoya themselves sold them as! I couldn't help myself but even though I didn't trust their e-store considering how new they looked, I still ended up purchased the Sunshine Collection and of course the Mattes from last season... which were going to be discontinued during Zoya's cleanup at the time.

They came. Harlow broke in the process.. it was painful because when I did get my order, this particular collection had been discontinued and then sold out on Nailde Royale too. I didn't actually say anything about it because it would have caused too much trouble to send me one new polish. It took almost 2 months because my parcel got lost in Thailand for about a few weeks but Nailde Royale had earned my trust and loyality :)
