Color Society - Ruby Wing Groupie and Summer Love

Ready for more magic sunlight color changing polish from Ruby Wing? It remains a mystery how the transition happens, and how it's possible to get it while still getting such a good polish, but the fairies and unicorns over at Ruby Wing nailed it again with new polishes, Summer Love and Groupie, paired together here with some rhinestones.

Summer Love starts neon orange. And it's a great neon. No underwear needed here! And it's only three coats. I love the neon orange part of this, but it transitions into something I'm not a huge fan of.

It goes brown! It's a nice shade of brown, but what I don't like about it is how different it is than its neon counterpart. The nail art I created with the two polishes worked pretty well, but picture a design that used the neon orange with a neon purple. That'd be pretty right? Now picture that same look, but with brown and neon purple. Just not as good.

Groupie is a great polish though! It starts neon pink...

...and ends a little less neon, and a little more red, but still very bright and noticeably different nonetheless. I only needed three coats for this polish as well.

This solar witchcraft is so strange, but it's awesome and unique, and the collection just keeps growing! Thanks again to Color Society for letting me be a part of the network.

Color Society - Color Club Royals

Click the icon to visit the Color Society page.

Color Club is fast becoming a great polish brand for nail art. Repeatedly, I find myself grabbing their bottles for full, rich color in many of my detailed nail art ideas. One of my favorites is their fabulous yellow, Almost Famous. After tonight, I have two more to add to my list.

Here's some nail art to prove it!

The color shown is Bright Night, splattered with little white daisies done with a nail striper from Color Madric. Isn't it so rich?!

For its swatch, I used two coats of Bright Night. It's one of the best blues I own to date, walking the line between being dark, yet bright. It's not for those afraid of bold colors, that's for damn sure!

Its partner in this review is Abyss. It's more blue than a previous teal from Color Society's set of Color Clubs using Wild Cactus, shown here. Again, very rich, and needs only two coats for ultra opacity.

If you're looking for great nail art polishes that'll get you fabulous results without lots of retracing, I recommend diving into some of the Color Club creme polishes, like these two rich beauties.

Thank you again to Color Society for sending out wonderful polishes for bloggers to review. And remember, if you're interested in applying to be part of the Color Society, fill out the application here!

Color Society - Ruby Wing Color Changing Polish - Pink & Gold

Click the icon to visit the Color Society page.

Ah sunshine! It brings flowers, Vitamin D, chirping birds and now, color changing polish!

Ruby Wing polishes are unique, in that they change colors. However, unlike the temperature-dependent polishes that you regularly see (that change when you stick your hand under cold water), the Ruby Wing collections require real sunlight to change. How does it work?

MAGIC!

Not really. It's super secret technology, called SolarActive® technology.

But it really does seem magical! The colors all look one way when you're indoors. Then, as if by some sorcery, they instantly begin to transform as soon as you're in the sunlight. It happens quickly too, with full effect in direct sunlight seen in under one minute.

I was really impressed with the transformation. Let's take a look. Disclaimer: I am taking pictures of the same bottles in the indoor and outdoor shots. I have not switched bottles. Like I said...magic!

First up is Poppy. I use two coats for this swatch, which was surprising since it's a neon pink! But then...stick it in the sun and...

It goes to a dark, vampy deep magenta. WHAT?! I think the coolest effect is when one side is more exposed than the other, and you get the most perfect gradient look. Too bad you can't lock that in as it's happening!

The bottle colors as they mixed were pretty rad too.

 To complement this pink, Color Society sent along an awesome gold, Sunflower.

Indoors, you can see that's it's a bit of a soft, yellow gold. The mix of glitter is amazing too. I used two regular coats to get the level of glitter in this swatch. Now moving outdoors...

It goes copper! Not quite full copper, but copper-gold. And it's soooooo shiny! (See the reflection of the polish on my pinky reflecting off my ring finger?)

Now what happens when you pair them together? I just did a simple stripe down the center of each nail, to watch it go from pop princess party mani, to sultry and rich mani.

My first experience with solar polish was awesome. This stuff surprised me, and I want to wear it in the wild to experience it in real life! Awesome work Ruby Wings, and thank you for the polishes Color Society!

Color Society - Halo Hues

Click the icon to visit the Color Society page.

Installment #2 of the Color Society series, and unfortunately, it doesn't involve the sunlight I wanted. Every chance I've had at sunlight have been thwarted, either by snow, rain, or work. All troublesome when you're trying to bring out the gorgeous holoness of the Color Club Halo Hues!

The Halo Hues shine like diamonds, and reflect a gorgeous rainbow across all your nails. What's more, they apply beautifully and completely in two even, quick-drying coats. It's really the best of all worlds, and they're all readily available!

To honor the diamond look they give, here's some diamond nail art, using my own diamond tutorial.

The base color is Pastel Teal from Kleancolor. The diamonds were created with the first color, Over the Moon. This is a vibrant and beautiful blue. It's not a dark blue, but it's not a faded silver. I love it, it's the perfect mix.

The other color in the society is Beyond. A black holo, with its own charm, but not quite as stunning as Over the Moon. I'd love to see it used as a gradient with a neon pink! It's like oil, with it's blackness and rainbow beauty.

Color Society - Color Club Brights

Did you know I'm a member of the Color Society? This network of bloggers is sent out monthly samples of Color Club and Ruby Wing products to review, test, and share with everyone. Over a month ago, I was sent my first sample, which included six polishes, two of which I'll show you tonight. The other four need sunlight, so my usual 11:00pm posts won't cut it for those.

These first two colors are both creme polishes from Color Club: Wild Cactus and Flamingo. The Color Society knows what's up, because these colors rock and they complement each other perfectly, which bodes well for my nail art, which I have to show off first.

I added some neon yellow (Funky Yellow from Kleancolor) to the look to really make the two colors pop even more loudly than they do solo. Everything was done freehand, mixing up the sizes, colors, and directions of the triangles and their color blocks to keep it interesting.

On their own they're stunning as well, and their coverage was great! I have Flamingo on my toes, but let's not start sharing more pictures than I need to or you want me to.

Let's take a look at them on their own.

Flamingo is a neon pink, but it's not a hot pink. It's more of Barbie's shoes, which may be why I was inspired to put it on my toes. It's got fantastic coverage, getting the job done with just two here.

Wild Cactus is a dark teal leaning more green than it does blue. This also covered in two simple coats.

So that's the first installment of the Color Society posts. I've got some glitters and holos coming as well, plus who knows what else in the future!
