Color Club Wild At Heart Collection Fall 2009

Color Club always has something awesome for us every season and this Fall is no exception. Pure awesomeness.


On The Wild Side. Blue-ish gunmetal grey frost. Okay, this is the only one I'm not crazy about. I like the shade, but it's really frosty and I'm not wild about frosty finishes. It's not a dupe of BB Couture For Men Blue Steel- it's lighter and more frosty. On the other hand, it does remind me of a Motley Crue song.

Love 'Em, Leave 'Em. Light warm gold with subtle holographic effect. Another holo from Color Club! Yay!! This shade, however, is a subtle holo. It isn't as holographic as previous Color Club holo shades like Revvvolution. It's a very dense, very warm toned light brown gold shimmer.

Rule Breaker. Deep teal-green shimmer. Oooooh pretty. I don't normally think of fall when I see teal, but this one says fall to me! Power of suggestion? Who knows. Either way I love it. This has a shimmer finish that almost verges on frosty, but it's not frosty- just a really fine metallic shimmer.


Wild And Willing. Gold-coral-orange-green-pink multichromatic pearl shimmer. This one needed three pictures because it's so cool. It flickers! It's mainly pink and gold and on the edges you can see this really cool greenish gold duochrome. And this isn't your average shimmer, either- it's made of little round crystal pearls of shimmer.

Wild At Heart. DEEP PURPLE HOLOGRAPHIC. Yes, I said purple holo! It's about time, woooohooo!! Anyway, this is a great deep purple, I'd say that it's a little more red-toned than it looks in this picture. This is also subtle as far as holos go, but not as subtle as Love 'Em, Leave 'Em. The holographic effect is also not as colorful as a regular holo, as you can see by the picture. That doesn't make it any less gorgeous, I can see myself going through a whole bottle of this. I need backups.


With Abandon. Black creme base with flecks of brownish gold shimmer. This is pretty unique- I don't own any polishes that look like this. Maybe it looks like one of those Chanels? Something de Russie? I don't have them to compare, but it does strike me as being somewhat similar. Anyway, this is pretty cool- very dark with little flecks and flakes and pearls of shimmer, a vampy with just a touch of sparkle.

The formula on these is great as usual. Color Club formula is usually very consistent and smooth and this is no exception. The holos are so dense you could get away with one coat, but I did two of everything for these pictures. Actually, I did three coats of Wild and Willing. Anyway, thin, smooth but not watery. Very easy to apply. Drying time is average except for the holos which dry very quickly. The wear on these is fantastic- I wore Wild at Heart for almost a week and it looked like I had just applied it.

The set comes with a 0-60 Speedy Top Coat, which is supposed to be a quick dry topcoat, but... It isn't... I didn't have any luck with it, but I figured I'd mention it. It stays sticky and dentable for a long time.

Oh, Color Club. You are so wonderful. You always give us something cool. And what's cooler than holo? Not much, that's what! The only thing I don't love about the Wild At Heart collection is the frost finish on On The Wild Side. Other than that, awesome. It rocks.

I have some more cool seasonal Color Clubs to post soon (and there is glitter involved). Woohoo!
