China Glaze Wizard of Ooh Ahz Returns + Swatches




China Glaze re-released their beloved Wizard of Ooh Ahz collection just before the holidays and with the whirlwind that comes with that time of year (not to mention my family and i had just moved), i'm finally posting my swatches (better late than never, right?).

if you are a fan of sparkles and shimmer in your polish, these are sure to excite you. if you don't already own these, take a look at this collection...





The Ten Man is a white-silver and one of my faves. it looks good with anything.





Cowardly Lyin' is a really pretty gold. sadly, my cool complexion doesn't look as good in this shade.





CCCourage is my absolute favorite of the bunch. i am a huge purple polish fan, and this shimmery beauty doesn't disappoint.




Dorothy Who? is a jelly polish with blue and silver shimmer. i love this one--it's amazing!




Good Witch? is a soft pink and, as you can see, very pretty. my daughter loves this one (of course).





Ruby Pumps is the best-seller of the group, loved and adored by nail polish fans everywhere, with good reason-- it's gorgeous! this pic does it no justice. i love the shimmer in this red and even i (not much of a red polish wearer) like to wear this one.


each shade required three coats for the sake of the pics. some shades (like The Ten Man and Dorothy Who? and Cowardly Lyin') appeared more sheer with only two coats. in any case, these are all very gorgeous polishes-- what do you think??

Color Club Wild at Heart Collection

Color Club's fall '09 collection, Wild at Heart* features a wide range of shades in only 6 bottles. i have nothing but good things to say about this collection, so let's take a look, shall we?



Love 'Em, Leave 'Em is a wow, wow, wow holographic brown-gold shimmer. this picture doesn't do it any justice...




Rule Breaker is a gorgeous teal shimmer. love!




On the Wild Side is a great color, but because of the streaky finish, it's not one i would wear often (ps- sorry for the blurry pic!)




With Abandon is a fierce gold-black shimmer that i love for this time of year.




Wild and Willing is a very unusual pink gold shimmer. it looks quite bronzy in the pic, but it actually has tones of green in it in person.




Wild at Heart is a beyond amazing purple holographic. it almost looks unreal-- definitely my fave out of the bunch. do i need to explain why?

you can find Color Club's Wild at Heart Collection at head2toebeauty.com for less than $3 each!
