first Color Club polish!

Greetings from Gulf Shores!
I've spent all day either at the beach or in the pool, drinking margaritas, basking in the sun... and it's just been fantastic. so relaxing.
I was pleased a couple days ago when I found out we had wifi here at the beach house,
but i've just now gotten around to posting about anything.

I brought a few beachy (in my opinion) polishes with me this week,
and today's polish also happens to have been my first Color Club polish. I came across a great deal of these in a Rite Aid a month or so ago but have just now gotten around to trying it.
Without further ado, 'Metamorphosis':

*sorry for the pic, was taken on my phone :/

'Metamorphosis' is from the 'Take Wing' collection. It's a foil-y teal-ish green that can has a subtle blue and pink look in certain light- almost like a duochrome. Unfortunately, I can't find my camera charger so I wasn't able to capture it :(

I bought this because of the duochrome quality it had, but it didn't show up most of the time. It reminded me very much of a peacock, though. Normally this polish would be right up my alley because i love me some metallic/foils, but I already have CG's 'Watermelon Rind', which reminds me VERY much of this polish.
so oh well.
not as unique as I had hoped.

It's a wee bit thin, so I used 2 coats here. It applied really well, also. OH YEAH- weird side note- the chlorine from the pool made this polish VERY sticky. It's super weird and now I can't wait to get it off because it just feels gunky. Anyone know why this happens?...

Anyway, I hope to be a bit more diligent about posting the rest of this week while i'm here :)

Thanks for reading!

  1. I like this color. I've seen it in a website and keep going back and forth about getting the collection. I keep thinking I don't need it, but really, I don't NEED 500 polishes yet here they are. And I dunno wtf is up with that chlorine thing. Weird! But I have no idea if I've ever swam with polish on. Keep me posted if it keeps happening!

    1. 500?!?! oh my goodness. so jealous. this polish was quite pretty, though. it would be a great one to add to your collection! and oddly enough, with the OPI 'Cozumelted in the Sun'- it did NOT get sticky... so just musts be this polish :/
