Color Club Cold Metal

Since I have a bunch of cloudy weather, I thought I'd go through my backlog of polishes, starting with the finale from the Foiled collection - Cold Metal.  This is a dark blue metallic which I thought I was going to hate but I really love this color!  Formula and application were super nice.


I used a base coat of Zoya Get Even, 1 coat of polish and no top coat.

Oh look, cloudy weather.  But check out how this polish pops!  This would be the best base for a Christmas manicure with some snowflakes - this is seriously a great staple color for my collection for fall/winter.

Even in the shade, this picture is just super lovely.  I'm shocked at how much I love a blue.

Indoors with the flash.


Best part of this polish?  It didn't smurf my fingers or stain my nails when I removed it.  WIN.

Color Club is located on several etailers, including Head2Toe Beauty which has it for $3.00.  You can also Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.
