The Uptown by Color Club is another polish that was on my wish list for a long time. Thanks so much @ Gimme All The Polish for adding this one to out massive nail swap. 
I layered one easy coat of the Uptown over my favorite black polish (Liquid Leather by China Glaze). This is absolutely stunning! 
And just because I need to mattify all flakies: 
Awesome, ha!
Hi everyone!
So back in May Luchessa and I hosted a Sweet Summer Swap which was so much fun! My swap partner, Adelina, sent me lots of gorgeous polishes, including some that were on my wishlist. Port-Folio by Color Club is one of them:

Here they are… the Halo Hues Collection 2013 by Color Club. In case you missed the 2012 collection, click here 😉
All swatches have two coats without base- and top coat. Every first picture is taken under artificial lightning and the second ones are taken in daylight.
Let’s jump right in to the swatches! Review after the pics…
Kismet 
Cosmic fate
Over the moon
Eternal beauty
Miss bliss
Beyond
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I just LOVE this collection. Mostly because all of the shades look gorgeous in natural lightning too. Especially Over the moon and Eternal beauty. And I really love how charcoal Beyond is in daylight. These aren’t just your ‘regular’ shades of holo’s, these are darker and therefore stunning. The formula is fantastic. I used two coats for the swatches without base- and topcoat. I’ve read that topcoat doesn’t ruin the holo effect though! That’s a big plus because that way the wearing time is way longer. As with all holo’s, if you don’t use topcoat you’re gonna have tipwear in no time. So if you are a fan of holographic polish, these are really meant for you! Besides the fact that they are more expensive than regular Color Club polishes (double priced!), I have nothing to complain about this collection. I bought this collection on Ebay (here) for $6.95 each.
What do you think of this collection? Any favorites?
There’s something that caught my attention around the web lately. I’ve read that Color Club has released their Halo Hues 2013 Collection. Since I absolutely love everything holo I knew I need to have that collection. But hey, Color Club also has a Halo Hues 2012 collection. What’s a 2013 collection without the one that was released last year? 😀 Right? So, here’s their Halo Hues 2012 collection:
Warning: this post is picture heavy 😀

Harp on it (silver)
Cloud nine (lilac)
Halo-Graphic (pink)
Blue heaven (light blue… obviously)
Cherubic (beige)
Angel kiss (blue toned green)
Overall I really like this collection. The formula of all of them is great. It took two easy coats for full opacity.
I think this collection isn’t very unique though. So here’s a comparison with the holo’s by Nfu Oh. Since this post is already picture heavy I kept this comparison simple 😉
Let’s see if there are any dupes:
