Color Club Love Tahiry Scented Collection

Hello, hope you're having a nice Saturday morning. I just got home from watching my oldest son's soccer game.  He's a goalie and I think it makes me much more nervous to watch him than the other parents out there.  So now I'm sitting here playing catch up with posts before I have to get ready for the next game.  I figured I'd start with the Color Club Love Tahiry Scented Collection, a set of 6 polishes all scented differently.  This collection actually released around Valentine's Day but with the exception of the heart glitter topper, they are easily cross seasonal.  The Love Tahiry Scented Collection should be available in any of your local beauty supply stores and online now.  So without further adieu let's jump in to the post and I'll tell you about these scented polishes.

Color Club: Website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter

On Cloud Nine is a white creme that is scented like white chocolate.  I found the polish nice and easy to use.  It wasn't streaky or patchy, the white also wasn't as stark as some are.  I suppose it does have a white chocolate look.  The scent was sweet and sugary though I'm not sure it reminded me of white chocolate.  I used 2 coats of On Cloud Nine and no topcoat.  

Seal it With a Kiss is a salmon pink creme.  I really loved this color and think it's perfect for Spring and Summer months alike.  The formula and application were both great.  Seal it With a Kiss is strawberry scented.  Again, it was sugary and sweet and I couldn't really tell a different between it and On Cloud Nine.  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  

Sweet Getaway is my favorite polish in the collection.  It's a creamy neon pink and it's so bright it screams for attention.  The formula was really great, creamy and opaque.  It's also super shiny!  I used 2 coats but if you are a heavy handed painter you can easily get away with 1.  Sweet Getaway is pink rose scented and it's fairly a strong floral scent.  I generally don't care for the rose scent but this one didn't bother me.

50 Shades of Love is a glitter mix of satin white and red hearts.  It's my least favorite of the collection as I don't think it's unique.  We have seen heart mixes from several brands from many years ago.  I also thought the heart glitters themselves were kind of beat up, with scratch marks on the hearts themselves.  I didn't really have to dig for the glitter so that was good.  I got a good amount of hearts with just a swish of the brush in the bottle.  But the base can be thick so be cautious with that.  I ended up using 1 coat of 50 Shades of Love over Sweet Getaway.  I used 1 layer of topcoat to finish.  This one is candy scented, but I wasn't sure which candy it was supposed to smell like.  I also don't think it was as sweet smelling as On Cloud Nine or Seal it With a Kiss.

Red-Handed is a true red creme that is cinnamon scented.  You know I love reds and this one is really nice.  If had a fabulous formula, creamy and opaque AND it applied that way in 1 coat!  The cinnamon scent in Red-Handed was very light, I could barely smell it.  But to  be honest at this point my nose was hurting from all the artificial scents.  

Tall, Dark & Handsome is a dark grey creme, scented like cologne.  I didn't like the scent of this one at all.  I only like cologne on my husbands neck but even still, this one reminded me of a super old school cologne that is not relevant to today's selection of mens scents.  The polish itself was lovely though.  Creamy and opaque.  Easy to work with.  Great formula and application.  I used 2 coats of Tall, Dark & Handsome and no topcoat. 

Last up is Jitters, a holo pink micro glitter that smells like bubbly.  Strange way to word the scent because I think champagne when I hear bubbly but this is scented like soapy bubbles.  It actually was a nice change from all the sweet smells and that blah cologne scent.  It smells clean.  Jitters had a nice formula, it applied easily and I was able to get full coverage in 2 coats.  I took pictures of Jitters without topcoat so you could see that it dries slightly matte and softly textured.  

Zoya Entice Collection

Good evening fellow polish addicts.  I have the Zoya Entice Collection for you this warm (ok hot) night and maybe these cremes will raise your own body temperature just looking at them!  These cremes are amazingly creamy and smooth.  All 6 of them applied like a dream.  If you have a heavy hand I imagine they could all be one coaters for you, yet I tend to go light on coats so I used 2 layers for each set of pictures (unless otherwise noted).  I also didn't use any topcoat because they are all perfectly shiny on their own.  My photos are all in direct sunlight.  So let's jump in and check out the pictures of the fabulously cozy Fall colors that make up the Entice collection.

Nyssa is a beautiful "milk chocolate brown" creme.  I love this classy shade of brown, it's absolutely perfect for the Fall season.  Doesn't it just remind you of a cozy sweater that you want to wrap up in?

Veronica is a "brilliant red wine" creme.  This shade is amazing.  It's vibrant but not overdone.  Veronica was extremely opaque and I only needed 1 coat for full coverage!

Margo is a "modern red plum" creme.  I'd definitely classify this as more of a pink berry shade, but it's still lovely.  

Bring on the vamp...this is Claire.  Claire is a "warm, rich burgundy."  I am completely in love with this shade, it's so deep and rich, so luxurious.  It will be perfect to compliment so many Autumn outfits.

Genevieve is a "cool leather grey" creme.  This one took me by surprise because it actually has a very slight shimmer to it.  I am quite fond of this shade, it's neutral to match many other colors yet it's not a nude.  

And lastly we have Ryan, a "classic indigo" creme.  It's actually a bit deeper than my pictures are showing - more of a navy shade.  This definitely reminds me of rich jewels.  This does cause a bit of skin staining so be careful when you paint and remove Ryan.
