Color Club Halo Hues Collection Swatches

Taking a break from Halloween designs today to do two posts.  Later, I will show you my Autumn Challenge design but right now I have the long awaited for Color Club Halo Hues Collection.  I have been waiting impatiently for these to come out and found them today at my local beauty supply shop for $4.95.  THAT'S RIGHT.....$4.95.  Not, the $10.00 price they are asking for online.  I bought one of each but I was not excited when I saw the bottles.  It looked VERY disappointing in the bottle.  Thankfully, once it got on the nail, it was better.  Unfortunately, there is not one stitch of sun today in New York so you are getting indoor shots under lamplight but you will still be able to see the holoy-goodness.

Here are all of them swatched on a nail wheel....





 Cherubic, Angel Kiss, Halo-Graphic, Harp On It, Blue Heaven and Cloud Nine
 
 
Cherubic is a pale tan-brownish color.....

 
 
 
 
 
 
Angel kiss is a lighter green that is one of the more pigmented shades of the bunch.  But....very hard to capture on camera.........
 






Halo-Graphic is a dark pink or Mauve color that is the most pigmented of the group.  For that reason, it was my favorite because it really stood out from the rest........

 





Harp On It is a very light silver that will no doubt make an amazing top coat over any color.......






Blue Heaven is also more pigmented but not tremendously so as you can see by the nail wheel.  Next to Harp On It, they look relatively similar.  Less similar in person though...............







And last but not least, we have Cloud Nine which is a very pale pink color.  Very little pigment in this one but super pretty...........



 
That's it folks, sorry there was no sun today or I could have taken better pictures.  I'll catch up with you later with my Autumn leaves design.....

  1. I think they look pretty good. I'm not 100% convinced that I need them though. How are they out of direct light? Boring or Ok?

  2. Out of direct lamplight, they look like your run of the mill pastels. Nothing exciting.
