Claw Candy: Color Club Peppermint Twist

I'm going to make this simple:  I LOVE THIS COLOR!

Peppermint Twist by Color Club is a creamy cool bubblegum pink with a teensy bit of a lilac-y undertone and it's absolutely lovely.  I'm not sure how the name pertains to the color however.  When I think of Peppermint I think of red and white stripes, so maybe it's what you get when you mix the 2 colors?  I don't know, and frankly I don't care.

In terms of application, it did go on a bit streaky at first, but nothing a 2nd coat and Seche Vite couldn't fix.

I just love staring at it *sigh*

You can find more information about this polish at the Color Club website.  I got mine in a mini size at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Claw Candy: Color Club Polish in Mrs. Robinson

I was so happy to find mini versions of Color Club polishes at Bed Bath and Beyond because I truly never go through an entire bottle of any nail polish.  This color is in Mrs. Robinson, and I love it because to me it seems like a full coverage jelly finish.  I usually stray away from jelly polishes because they tend to be sheer, but Mrs. Robinson was opaque in 2 coats!  Color-wise, it's a bright magenta that without a top coat, dries to a kind of dull finish so I strongly recommend using a shiny top coat if that's the look you're going for :)  FYI, I'm wearing a thick coat of Seche Vite in the photo above.
