Color Club – Bewitching Collection Halloween 2010

I know Halloween is over for 2010, but it’s still Halloween somewhere in the world (probably America) so may as well throw in this last Halloween related collection 🙂

Overall, I’ve found this particular collection is a little thicker and goopier than most polishes. Nothing a little bit of Restore couldn’t fix, but still, you shouldn’t need to do that for a new polish 🙁 The plus side is that each swatch appears more pigmented since you are forced to apply more polish.

Spellbound

A vibrant orange creme, very typical Halloween pumpkin colour. Not sure if it’s very clear in the photos, but this polish dried semi-matte. Only needed 2 coats as it was rather pigmented. No top coat pictured.

Charmed, I’m Sure

A shimmering duochrome blue / purple polish, it’s similar to OPI Ink, though with far more shimmer. I think colour wise, it’s a closer match to Zoya’s Mimi, only much thicker and more pigmented. Only required 2 coats, no top coat pictured.

Bewitched

A black creme, pretty standard and I could probably list a dozen dupes, Rimmel’s Blackout and OPI’s Black Onyx to name a few. Though I will mention that unlike these two, Bewitched is very pigmented. 2 coats, not top coat.

Hocus Pocus

I love this in person, a semi matte holographic glitter polish. It looks amazing on the nail, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say about this polish. It is rough, it is chunky and it is an absolute pain to remove! I stupidly wrapped my tips with this, and found myself randomly getting my nails caught on any fine fibres and scratching myself. 2 coats, no top coat.

The collection came with these nail stickers, I haven’t tried them out but isn’t the design amazing?

Overall, the nail stickers were the best part of this collection. The polish was rather average, it’s not terrible, nor was it exactly terrific. If you can only pick a couple of collections to get this year, I’d skip this and hold out for something else. Unless the nail stickers are enough to win you over 🙂
